hi guys, wanna double confirm if the amex can only be used to pay maxis and TNB only?
I tried for streamyx but it didn't appear for amex.
Thank you.

Hi guys, probably not the right thread but since it does concern Maybank, just have a question.

Is it true that there is a promo going on now where Maybank is giving out free Visa/Mastercard + American Express CC?
I got a call from them (03-22046688) earlier this morning regarding this. It sounded like a scam, but then again I had no CC with Maybank nor did the person asked me anything regarding of my bank acc. no.
Only said I was eligible for the promo.

Called Maybank customer service and they did say that there is a promo like that going on right now, but they cannot confirm the number as it is a telesales line or something?

Any info regarding this will be appreciated.

yes, will be credited later.
try to click again from milkadeal (if you took too long time) befbefore purchase.
yeah, can use either shopback/milkadeal. got special bonus if pm me.

the problem is not many earning rm100k pa. if you are qualified,   just go for it.

Good to know that. I actually rarely log into this forum, but once I read about this on FB, immediately logged in here for more info.
On the same note, I don't expect this 5% weekend rebate to really last since it does not make economic sense to Maybank. From each transaction, they are only getting 3.25% from retailers.

Based on statistical data, approximately 50% of card holders make the full payment every month. Only about 20% will make the minimum payment (this is where the bank will get interest from the cardholders).

Assuming the 50% group who makes prompt payment squeezes this 5% weekend rebate to the max, with not much additional spending (average monthly bill is RM3k), Maybank will be just about neutral from serving this large group of card members. That's a lot of money to serve this group in terms of operations and marcom materials, not to mention all the financial cost that is involved (interest free period).

Just saying, that sooner or later, this 5% weekend rebate will collapse unless the ecosystem can support it. Perhaps more card members that will default on the other side so that they can make more money? LOL

I guess credit card business is tough... one by one cutting their features.
Use to be OCBC cut from 5% to 1% and now cut even further.
This maybank don't know when will revised.
The next top CB card is HL Wise card....

Pebble so should be US site I think...
But then again a lot of other sites are also not based in Malaysia and I have never faced this before.

Yup, Saturday 3am Malaysia time.

I've called Maybank up and they asked me to send an email to them. Hopefully they will approve the case.

Have to be more careful next time when dealing with overseas site 

planned to go to apply ikhwan card at gardens today. what documents they normally need to process my application yea?

is the maybank booth in mid valley / gardens open during weekend? is it the one in the middle of mid valley route to gardens, at lg floor?

a bit sad cant use my amex card at bhp

not yet mention the good contest/promotion from MBB 

u can call CS for temporary credit limit increase, just tell them ur going oversea, temp increase will take immediate effect for certain period.

permanent CL increase however, took longer time to approve, at least 2 weeks for my past experience.

aiyo... why wait la. next week you also need to use petrol what? and i doubt that it will decrease by more than 5%.
