My spending pattern mainly on retail/online transactions, petrol and utilities. With the revision to 1x TP for utilities and petrol, I expect to get lower TPs.

But comparing my calculations and TPs awarded in my statement, I'm getting more TPs than expected.

This happened for 2 months already and I can't match my calculations. I'm more than happy to get the extra TPs but annoyed that I can't find the right formula.

Is there is a difference of TPs between paying utilities manually than those under autopay? Or certain utilities still given 5x? Astro? Is different brand of petrol given different TPs?

I tried my permutations based on the above questions but still can't get it right.

5% Weekend Cashback is BACK! [ Maybank | T&Cs ]
1 July to 31 December 2016

5% Weekend Cashback is BACK! Just spend RM500 with your Maybank 2 American Express Gold or Platinum Credit Card and 5% for all your weekend spending up to RM50 Cashback. Hurry, we have RM9,000,000 to be given away!
Terms & Conditions:
Campaign starts from 1 July to 31 December 2016.
Total amount of Cashback to be awarded is capped at RM1,500,000 monthly and RM9,000,000 throughout the campaign period.
Cardmember must spend a minimum cumulative of RM500 on any Maybank 2 American Express Platinum or Gold Credit Card in a Calendar month to qualify for the Cashback.
Each Cardmember is eligible for the Cashback only once each month should the Cardmember hold 2 or more Maybank 2 American Express Cards.
Cashback is awarded to the Principle Cardmember only and is capped at RM50 per month.
Cashback for this campaign is excludes Dining where Cardmember currently continues to get 5% Weekend Dining Cashback as part of the product feature.
5% Weekend Cashback will be credited four to six weeks after the end of the Promotion period.

What's the point take away the 5% cashback feature back then and now return it in this form....

example of not meeting min RM500 spending per month.

My understanding is retail purchases accumulated must be minimum RM500.
Then the cashback will be calculated based on retail purchases for weekend only.
Therefore the 1st requirement is to spend RM500.

Concept should be similar to SCB gold cash back.

i m applying to convert my 2 cards to Ikhwan Card.. not sure is it a good choice not.. since i already freeze my 2 card and keep as back up only..

this criteria is a trap lo.

the more ppl die-die spend rm500 (to be 1st to qualify but without any benefits), then the merchant fees maybank charged can be recycled as "cashback" for this promo. 

i lost my interest to use my card since no more 5% CB on weekend spending last time. by having other banks card, i think i can't hit the rm500 spending..

so technically the campaign starts on the 2nd July since spending anything for tmr won't be entitled for the cash back

why not effective CB is 5%?

u spend on weekday just qualify to get cashback but u didn't spend on weekend u qualify also cannot get cashback..
so just spend on weekend only..
2july, 6aug, 3sept, 1oct, 5nov  would be good time to spend..all just few days from 1st day of the month..
chances to win would be high... now should start plan to pay bill and buy grocery at that day 

Me too, won't use on groceries and bills as I can get >10% CB using other cards n other campaign.

nowadays petrol transaction still got 5x TP?
not reduce to 1x TP already?

The tracking is based on the following :-
Step 1–Date Qualify
Step 2–5% Weekend Cashback on total Weekend Spending capped at RM50
Step 3–Total monthly payout of RM1,500,000

So someone who just spends RM1000 on Weekend, may not get a chance to win in this 5% Weekend Cashback

step 1 is easy, you swipe RM500 today, u qualify dy, then can slow slow swipe 1k on weekend
assuming everyone swipe RM500 today and qualified for the whole quota, then those only start swiping tmr gets RM0 cash back

hence, MBB shud read my thread description, we want 5% guaranteed     

from t&c:

5.1 Eligible Cardmembers will be tracked based on a 1st come 1st served basis which meet the qualify transaction of RM500. (“Winners”).

from how i see it...

if i spend rm500 today, you spend rm500 tomorrow, technically i'll be "chosen" first.
if i sepdn rm500 today, you spend rm250 today+rm250 tomorrow, i'd still be "chosen" first since i've hit rm500 first.

this also means the "accumulative rm500 per month" criteria is useless for those who spread the rm500 spending across the month.

this only qualify you to participate in this campaign, but not prioritize you to be in FCFS selection.

i believe this promo is still new and not many ppl are aware of it so spending one shot tmr is the best way instead of spending today just for the sake of getting qualified first (and get nothing since cash back is only for weekend spending)

All in all ... don't join this contest to "show" our dis-approval on cancellation of the 5% Weekend Cashback

Just swiped over the weekend using my Visa from M2C. Think almost 2 years did not use this card, still looks brand new coz kept in drawer. So happen need to spend outside my usual cashback categories.

5% weekend cash back. The RM500 minimum spending is for individual card or combined (Amex+Visa)?
