Just a heads up: took Maybank 3 hours to get my card ready at 1U

Weekday (but not Friday) at 12pm. I don't think MBB is promoting the "get your card within 60 minutes" thing anymore anyway. It's not mentioned on their website and the staff at the card centre that handled my application said that it would take more than an hour. The videos on the TV screen outside the card centre still has it though

Can anyone here actually confirm that they've gotten their cards within 60 minutes at 1U this year?

Latest catalogue shows only one voucher redemption that amounts to 1.20% cashback. Rest is 1.08%.

Yes. That's correct. But please take note of the recent news that everyone is freaking out about. The 5% is gone after 1st August this year.

No points for MACH. Purely cash rebate, limited to RM100/quarter.

Let's not be stingy with one another..

Public Bank Visa Signature for Telekom bills + weekday dining (6% rebate on groceries, dining & online transactions)
HLB Wise for TNB + mobile OR petrol (10% rebate on selected categories)
UOB Vox for online transactions (5% rebate on online transactions)
Maybank Visa Signature for groceries + petrol (5% rebate on petrol and groceries - petrol used here only if HLB Wise not approved)
AEON Watami for insurance (3% quarterly rebate if >RM3,000 spent)
Maybank AMEX for weekend dining and as backup (5% weekend dining rebate after 1st August)

There's no one size that can fit all. It really depends on your usage patterns. Looking back at my own usage of the MBB2Amex card, I spent more on paying for online stuff than for fuel. So I'll most probably replace this card with UOB Vox/CIMB Cash Rebate.

If banks really wanted to read how people abuse their cards, they would be monitoring these forums already. The Lowyat forum is one of the biggest forums in Malaysia. If you can decipher these codes easily, all the bank staff from MBB, CIMB, HLB and whatever bank can do the same as well. Using codes does nothing to deter this.

Thanks, but won't qualify for that any time soon

RM50 annual charge was abolished on the 1st of April this year.

The RM50 GST was abolished for all credit cards when the 6% GST on 1st April was implemented. It is now charged on annual fees instead. Since this card has RM0 annual fees, even with GST the annual fee is still RM0 =)

You may refer to this thread

Did you actually see the 5% petrol cashback on paper on was that just a figure given to you by the salesman? Because there is no no mention of "petrol" or "fuel" in the TnC and no mention of it on the product page either. The only card that even comes close to that is RHB Travel Money, but the 5% petrol rebate is only valid for the first weekend of every month.

UOB One no longer has the RM900,000 petrol quota and to be precise the rebate is not weekend only, as you can still get 2% cashback on weekdays.

Our sifu Gen-X made a good write up on the common replacement cards being suggested. One of the reasons why this card was so highly recommended was because the cashback requirements are dead simple: just spend on a weekend and everything is cashback. But now everyone has to run to category based cashbacks, so it really depends on how you spend your money. So better look back at how you were using this CC in order to determine the best replacement..

Last month I requested to change my statement date to be on the 30th. My June statement was generated on 30/6, then my cashback was credited the following day on 1/7. In this case, do I still pay according to the statement amount? What I mean is:

30/6 statement generated = RM400 due
1/7 cashback = RM10 given

My statement amount is understandably still RM400, but my outstanding amount has reduced to RM390. Let's say I pay the statement amount and I don't use the card again (want to cut), does that mean my RM10 cashback is gone forever?

I forgot to mention that I do not pay via M2U, I pay via IBG. So I think they will still "allow" me to overpay. Anyway, according to the CS I called I can pay either. Which doesn't really make sense I think I'll just pay full to be safe. Thanks everyone.

Just reviewed my statement: no, RM10 is not recorded as last payment. Minimum payment balance is still 5% of overall amount due.

So this weekend is supposed to be the weekend where we know the fate of the MBB2cards correct? Due to 21 days announcement policy.

Current note shown is this one:

So bye bye cashback altogether?
