M2P still worth it if most of your transactions are in foreign currency.

Now this is a very attractive proposition especially now UOB running a 3 year annual fee waiver campaign subject to T&C of course (new to bank and 3x retail spending bla bla), which is ending on 31 Jan 24.

Had a look at UOB World card, the details as follows:

Spend RM 48K and get 125K uni points? Wah
e-commerce and wallet x12 but cap at RM 300 per merchant - subsequent is x1
retail spend RM 3K below x5 - subsequent is x1
all other rubbish is x1?
wah petrol, utility, jompay - no points. - means insurance got? Can live with that

UOB Privi Miles or Élite?

Benchmark against MAS, I would pick Elite cause it takes 9K uni points to convert to 1K miles (AsiaM, Enrich, KF, Capital A) instead of 15K uni points.
AF- RM 600 (if you don't opt for waiver (not this campaign), you get bonus 60K uni points)
if you plan to use this card for local spend = instant regret.
Use only overseas x10 effect and x5 for airline.
x8 PPL access, looks like a lot more access as well.
Ride home is nice to have but read the fine print.

Based on above, I would probably run a UOB World and Privi Miles Elite for Flyer Miles.

Probably UOB Prvi Miles Elite & UOB World the best combo for oversea & local spend now

Prvi Miles Elite for oversea spend RM0.90 = 1 KF. If you have both Prvi Miles Elite & World card, you can use World card for local spend

e-Wallet get 12x UNIRM (capped at rm300/m), supermarket/departmental store get 5x UNIRM (capped at rm3000/m). other local spend get 1x UNIRM. The interesting part for world card is the 125k bonus point when you achieved annual spending of 48K.

lets say, every month top up TnG e-wallet RM300, the rest of the local spending get 1x UNIRM, plus the annual spending bonus 125K point, you can redeem airmiles using Prvi Miles Elite conversion rate, thats equal to RM2.03 = 1KF

The cons is you can spend only 48K max, so you need another back up card for local spend but this is good for those who struggle to spend 80k with M2P to get AF waiver

Seriously? You didn't spend a dime and they give you AF and SST waiver?

Anyway, considering like Privi Miles Elite give you 60K uni points, if you paid the AF, would you opt to pay the AF?

seems like a gamble with the  AF.
if fail to get waiver then card really hurts.

I have local spending such as condo service fees and in store spending such as clothing. Usually Visa & Mastercard only is accepted. Is the Maybank MUVI card still the best card to use? I know it's a definite yes for groceries.

From what I can see, for MYR spending Visa & Mastercard online (e.g. TNB) and ewallet, the Alliance Visa Infinite is better.

If AMEX is accepted, then MBB Krisflyer AMEX seems to be the best.

I think airplane and duty free, then CIMB TWE Mastercard is the best. For non-ringgit and overseas spending, I'm using HSBC Premier Travel Mastercard since 1.1X miles for every ringgit spent.

Anyone knows what is the best air miles earning card for local spending now?
Now that I'm getting the UOB prvi miles elite for overseas expenses, thinking if I should dump the M2R. Alliance VI looks nice with the evergreen points, but only tied to MAS is a big no...

10k TP for 1k miles. I'm speechless; I thought of reapplying it again six months later, but it looks like I don't need to now.

Second week of April announce "capping", end of the month strike everyone with devaluation
A few I know also have roughly 1 to 2mil tp, all stucked

Everyone please lodge a complain to Maybank: mgcc@maybank.com.my

The more I think about this the more angry I got.

I have already written a complain email:

I'm only a small player but already have 230k airmiles worth of TP. I'm sure the big players out there easily have 2m+ worth of airmiles in their TP account. As each person is limited to convert 2m per month, only 50 people are eligible to convert their points. With MBB customer base, 50 out of 10k/100k people is ridiculous. That's like a 0.5% to 0.05% chance/rate.

I currently have instalment plan tied to my M2P. Can I transfer them to M2C and close the M2P account?

Just wonder..

Redemption online works. Miles reflected in my KF almost immediately

UOB has always been more expensive with foreign currency conversions around 0.5% more than other cards going back many years I have their card.

After Citibank migration to UOB it followed UOB rates. I have 10 years of Citibank Prestige card now UOB Zenith card to compare. These days I just use Amex as it is cheaper than the Zenith card.

There is always the cost you pay somewhere. Banks are very good at both product and customer profitability down to granular levels.

Same conversion? Their website also only mentions Enrich. Customer service also told me only Enrich

wtf i thought 1st day of July i can easily redeem for airmiles

already hit quota?!

I called the call centre and screw the shit out of them but i know its useless

Going to redeem again next month but missed the enrich promo then will let the card stay dormant and go for CIMB instead

Sorry to piggyback onto this question. Since the nerfing of MB2 Premier cards, i've gotten the Amex KF Plat as per the recommendation here. My question is on the MB2 Premier min spend of 80K for AF waiver - Will MB take into account spending on the Amex KF Plat for the min 80K spend? If not, what would be the recommendation to replace the VISA portion of the MB2 Premier? Preferably a MB card as it will be the easiest for me to get, but will consider other banks as well. I need either a low min spend for AF waiver or free for life, as most of my spend will be moved to the Amex KF card.

Whats the best next card without AF or lower AF waiver min?

Alliance VI

if I hold another Maybank card do I need to worry about redeeming TP if canceling M2P ?

I've the AMEX Plat Charge (promo so just went for it), just wondering what's a good Master/Visa for places that don't take AMEX.

Thanks.  I already have the MBB KF Amex Plat. But i need a Visa card to cover the gaps in terms of merchant acceptance. What would be the recommended visa card that has lower or no annual fees? The MBB Visa infinite has a 80k minimum which i most likely cannot hit if i am using the KF amex.

I'm logged in to Maybank2U but after requesting for TAC it never arrives on my phone....

same. could not receive TAC either

tag never come. This is rubbish Bank.

Try again next month for those who failed. I'm sorry.

Good to know all of you here. Moving to UOB.
