QUOTE(raist86 @ Oct 21 2016, 05:01 PM) yes.. krisflyer amex only used for utilities and gov agencies. insurance don't take amex, otherwise, will have a big chunk there also. Do they automatically provide you with a Krisflyer membership when you apply for the card?

Anyone received their pin-enabled cards yet? Other banks have already sent but not MBB. Or was I missed out?

QUOTE(lilsunflower @ Oct 25 2016, 02:04 PM) Lots of people have received, particularly in the past month. However, there are still many waiting. Can you see a notification in your M2u online banking portal? I got mine last month through Mail Drop. All my cards including supplementary were bundled into one pack and left in my post box. Do you mean if they have sent new cards there will be a notification in the online portal? I haven't noticed anything last time i logged in.

Hi sifus, sorry for asking the same question repeatedly but I still don't know which credit card to use to maximize my points for Enrich redemption. I know we discussed about Krisflyer but I have decided to stick with Enrich for various other factors. I switched from MBB 2CPremier to HL VI but they too have started awarding ZERO points for utility payments using JOMPAY. My highest monthly charges are from utility bills
Please advise! Thanks

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 2 2016, 10:43 AM) Don't use JOMPAY to make payment then. HL VI still earns points for counter payment IIRC. Banks will start to remove benefits for online payment due to cost cutting.. Yes counter payments is possible but it is rather inconvenient  Just getting a parking spot is a real pain. Anyone knows if the CIMB Enrich Platinum is any good? Can collect points for online payment of utility?

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 2 2016, 11:19 AM) a quick glance at their T&C does not say that Utilties DOES NOT award bonus miles... hence it should earn based on normal rate. However, the earning is RM 4 to 1 mile... quite bad actually. Yea but now it is RM4.77 to 1 Mile if I stick to MBB Premier

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Nov 2 2016, 01:36 PM) it getting out of topic again.. frequent flyer stuff should discuss in frequent flyer thread.. most of us apply for MBB 2C Premier to get the best possible miles conversion. So actually frequent flyer miles is spot on topic -wise. don't be so strict la.. This post has been edited by Jack128: Nov 2 2016, 02:09 PM

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 3 2016, 10:25 AM) Thread cleaned and such posts have been moved. Posts related to flights redemption and all, please head over to Frequent Flyer and Traveler Loyalty Card thread. Fruitie, I think you have been overzealous in enforcing 'segmentation' to the various topics that been have discussed here. No doubt we have been discussing issues related to frequent flyer miles and the pros and cons of Enrich, Krisflyer etc. But I hope you realize that these same discussions shared have a direct bearing if many of us decide to continue using MBB 2C Premier or move on to something else. To me, and I believe most of us here share the same opinion, these topics are directly related and do not warrant a move to another thread. It is just silly for us to jump between threads to share the same issues. In any case, if we do not share frequent flyer miles issues here, what is it that the moderators expect to discuss in this thread? Many of us here are experienced and high usage cardholders, and we are not interested in amateurish topics like how to get waiver on the AF or how to get card approvals etc! Let our discussions flow freely , please

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 3 2016, 11:12 AM) fruitie, if you look back the questions asked in this thread is about M2CP is always linked to award flight redemption. you want us to reply back one part here, and another part in the FF thread? IDK, if it's going to be such a hassle, good luck to those who are seeking info about this card and how to use it properly. Precisely my point. I don't get what the fuss is all about

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 3 2016, 11:03 AM) It is not silly to jump between threads. If you notice I'm already less strict compared to other mods in this section. Yes, I prefer to stick to conversations related to these cards. So what with high spenders? We need to create a thread just to fulfill your needs? No, please use the appropriate threads. As a moderator, shouldn't you behave in a more professional manner and obtain the views of other contributors? No need for high handed approach here.

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 3 2016, 11:50 AM) well. maybe let's all take a step back before it gets personal. Fruitie, we do appreciate the work of mods doing the unseen and unappreciated work to keep forum clean and tidy. By all means clean up the thread if the topic goes really off hand or when unrelated post crops up. Just asking for abit of common sense to prevail alright?  i propose that anything related to the M2CP (application, waiver of AF, which FF program to credit to and matters relating to the 3 FF programs) be allowed to be discussed in this thread. If related to other programs / hotels then discussion goes to Frequent Flier thread. All in all, we just want to enrich the community with knowledge. I second the proposal by Raist86

QUOTE(limeuu @ Nov 3 2016, 12:08 PM) i find mods here tend to be overzealous in their opinions and actions... the conversion into ffp of points accrued through these cards, the decision of which ffp to use, and by extension, the relative merits of the 3 programmes this cards can convert into, are all relevant... like any matter, many topics cross boundaries, it is almost impossible to silo off topics...the ff thread does not deal with cards, but with how to redeem miles for flights...would then if we discuss cards and which ffp we convert into, be considered "out of topic" in that thread?... agree with raist....some common sense please... I wish more forum members will speak up and then perhaps, just perhaps, the mods will take a step back and realize that sometimes what the majority want works out to be the best. Rules and regulations are meant to be changed and improved to meet demands, not set in stone. That's how society improves. Not just common sense but abit of democracy too.

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 3 2016, 01:24 PM) alright back to topic.. i think MBB is not very upfront with the introducer campaign.. i recommended 2 ppl to MBB to get the card, they were approved and have received the card but no TP was credited to me... called the CS and apparently there's no way to track who introduced who...  ; Good on you Raist for bringing up an issue 100% card related. Unfortunately I have no comments on this one. Good luck in obtaining the TP under this campaign

QUOTE(bearbear @ Nov 28 2016, 10:20 PM) Maybank is fast Request for transfer to KF on yesterday morning, i am seeing my miles in KF already now. Was it with the 2C Premier? I have just signed up with Krisflyer Amex so I hope they will be just as quick. Any experience? I still have some 750K TP which I plan to convert to KF at some stage.

QUOTE(herc @ Mar 20 2018, 11:05 AM) my screen too narrow, ur numbers cant display at once  Hi Herc, I can't seem to get much info from the internet on the Diamante card. Do you have the link? Is it true 5x TP for all local spending? I suppose the exceptions for utilities, insurance, education still apply.

QUOTE(chiahau @ Mar 23 2018, 04:04 PM) http://www.maybankprivatewealth.com/my/en/lifestyle.htmlBasically you need to be a private banking member and invited for one. Heard that even if you qualify as one, they might not invite you. Hope it helps  Thanks for the link Chiahau but not much info on the card benefit? The rest of the things mentioned are just glitter, nothing else. I happen to be a private wealth client for a number of years but maybe because my aum doesn't reach USD1Mio magic number they left me out. I try and cucuk my RM and see if she can pull some strings. If its true 5x on all local spend it is worth the effort. Don't u just hate it when you purchase a big ticket item and they say sorry we dont accept amex?!

QUOTE(chiahau @ Mar 23 2018, 04:16 PM) I think it's like Amex Centurion, the perks and benefits are not known to public for exclusivity. You should ring up your RM and ask him/her to help you get this card. After all, if you already qualify for PW, you ain't too far behind to hit 1M  And yes, hate it when they say no amex. So i shop overseas instead  Well shopping overseas may get you the 5x TP but they sodomize you with some ridiculous forex exchange. Anyway I just wanted to be sure of the card benefits before going around groveling for it. Anyone who actually has the card here can confirm?

QUOTE(digidigi @ Mar 23 2018, 04:40 PM) If u alr have 1m usd with them and they don’t give u the card, just remove all the money with them and go find another branch Well I have never asked and they never offered. Never knew about this Diamante until I browsed this forum. You guys are great. Heard about the new UOB bronze card? They sent glittery mails out to customers but need to spend 1 Mio to qualify. I think all of it ended up in the bin. Within the next few months the RMs will be calling begging you to sign up.
