Does this mean that they remove SPG 50% for 2 diners?

Rare case, but gaming the system is not advisable.

Anyway, why need top up and withdrawal? There are some expense that u can’t earn point using Maybank card but can earn by using big pay
*
What are some of these expenses? I can think of TNB bill and some restaurants not accepting Amex. To pay TNB using BigPay, I guess we have to pay at TNB website? Anything I have missed out? Maybe perhaps withdraw some petty cash from BigPay to spend? tongue.gif I am not into serious manufactured spending, just amateurish and reasonable amount... biggrin.gif

With increased Amex coverage, I find that I can earn 5X most of the time...

Depends on hotel. You can check maybank site promotions. Some like SPG.I heard it's now 40%,l.
*
Yes, SPG no more 50%. Only 40%. But normal Maybank cards also get 30%. Sort of lost a bit of exclusivity.

Just went Sheraton Imperial

Waiter says no more 40% discount even with Premium Maybank cards. Max 20% only

They have asked Maybank to update it but Maybank still haven’t change it.

I must repeat what I said before.....this is an abuse of the system, and it's a matter of time before Maybank realise people are gaming the perk....

And like the Lounge entry abuse, eventually banks will clamp down, and it's innocents who will suffer through no fault of theirs....

Which is sad as I am fully satisfied with playing by the rules. Using with BigPay already can capture many transactions not yielding points previously. There is no need to game the system. I guess some will still do and then everyone also kena...

Probably maybank will target such topups as x1 points instead of x5 just like how Insurance and gov related payments are.......

Probably sooner rather than later cos banks are not in the business of giving away free money... bangwall.gif To put it more bluntly, it is not gaming the system..it is like robbing the bank..

Reading the past few comments, I don't understand how loading BigPay to the max on match days is considered abuse.

For me, loading BP has a huge advantage over normal spending as it gives me total flexibility over timing for purchases. Without BP, I would never have waited until a "sure win" match day to consolidate all my spending. Now, I can load 10k straight and spend as I like on whatever I like. School fees, condo management fees, medical bills, direct debits, insurance, paying for hotels or expensive meals. All these can't be timed solely according to match days, and many providers don't accept Amex. Plus, getting 5x TP on insurance, government, utilities and education is a great advantage.

So are you saying that many of you are NOT reloading BP at all? If so, how in the world are you managing to time all your expenses on winning match days, especially for those games with results near midnight?

Anyway, if MBB suddenly clamp down on BP and choose to award only 1 or 0 TP, then it shouldn't affect those of you who only use for normal spending, and life continues as it did before BP.
*
It's a fine line between using to one's advantage and abusing. The way you are using it is in accordance to the rules as all expenses are real expenses spent. The obvious wrong ones are those loading up BP and withdrawing out again in cash as there is no real spending.

Here is an update on benefits:

I was at Westin Hotel, Bukit Bintang, it seems Maybank's offer description of 40% off for dining up to 10 person is inaccurate. SPG is only offering 20% discount overall. Called Maybank CS and they mentioned that the latest offer has not been signed between Maybank and SPG yet.

Hope they do maintain the 50% discount for 2 diners. Really like the restaurants there.

Shangri-La still maintains the 50% discount though.

Thanks for update. Did they say they are working on getting it back to 40% again soon???smile.gif
