citibank , scb , rhb , hlb can immediate approved amount <100k for my case

maybank i havent try yet

SCB was not work for me as I requested to temp increase, the CS then said need 3-5 working days... and I do mentioned I need it by tonight for travel purpose, end up use other card instead

they set in their system already.. if the system cannot give u temp increase then cs hv to manually submit

nope, as they said the server is down today.
I called again and different operator came in, said the same thing.

For now i am crossing my fingers, as I had only MBB2kard

Hi guys. For application of Maybank credit cards at KLCC, still valid to get approved & receive card in 1 hour? If still can, plan to go tomorrow. Does it depend on card type?

If process takes the normal duration even at KLCC might as well just apply online and save me a trip. But kinda in a rush for fast approval and receive card

KLCC no more for 1-hour approval nor embossing card on the spot. You still can try Gardens and 1U.

1U not sure weekend they do embossing, I tried on Sunday, they don't, Saturday is a difference day

Oh yeah, Gardens also only on working days. Still can apply during weekends but can only collect on working days.

Just called again this morning, managed to request and now subject for approval. As u said, yeah 3 working days. So I just hope for it.
If not, pledge a FD to it via m2u website as last resort.

Hi, has anyone ever encountered any problems using Maybank 2 Amex Card abroad? I used it to purchase an item from a merchant whose payment gateway was in London and the transaction was declined.

have you tried calling cs to unblock for online transaction?

I called Maybank before making the transaction but cs informed that I had to make the transaction first. They'd only assist me if transaction failed. So after the transaction was declined, I called them again and was put on hold for 10 minutes and got disconnected after that

did you inform the bank beforehand that you will be using it overseas?

Yes, I informed the bank beforehand that I'll be making an overseas transaction and requested for them to unblock my card for the transaction but cs said there was no such procedure. He asked me to call only if the transaction failed.
Is that the standard procedure of Maybank?

I never had such problems with Citibank credit card. Every time before I travelled abroad, I called Citibank to inform them and I had no problem swiping the card overseas.

But Maybank procedure is different?

My experience says its accepted worldwide. Hence up till today, I can swipe at abroad without having call to inform.
But wondering why its different in your case.

That's good to know. Maybe that was my first overseas transaction using that card and it was for a substantial amount. I'll call their cs again before I travel abroad in future.

does anyone have issues with pin related transactions? i recently went to a Scandinavian country and when i used the amex, some transactions got through, some didn't.

in all cases, i had to sign (which is bit troublesome since most countries nowadays use the pin). any clue?

Yes, that could be it..1st transaction overseas, big amount

Many first world countries still don't and process a credit card payment as signature based. During my recent trip to Seoul, some stores do not require you to sign if the amount charged is not more than KRW50,000 (RM190+). And the payment was processed using the swipe method. They do have Visa Paywave and MasterCard Paypass but I did not see anyone using it. Then again the swipe method in Korea is just as fast as Visa Paywave and MasterCard Paypass so I guess they do not see a point in using it.

It's accepted everywhere but make a habit to call banks before going to overseas. Else, after a few transactions, your card will be temporarily blocked and they have to call you for verification. Wasted more money due to roaming. I had this problem when I was in Japan, forgot to call and after second transaction went through, Maybank already called me.

So, I always encourage people to call before going to overseas. If in Singapore for few days, I won't bother.

To prevent fraud cases, Maybank has blocked online overseas gateway. Anyway, I don't need to call them to unblock for me.
