Receive the card on Feb - racked up 700k points in 3 months. Redeemed business class ticket Mel - KL today, but noticed that it's not possible to choose the seats?

Hi,

Wanna ask can I cancel the amex reserve itself only? Or what's the spending pattern with the amex? Seems not really famous in Msia..

In KV but what's the benefit of amex reserve? Never have a amex card before.

Hi all, I received letter of offer for 2 premier card after pledging by FD. It requires me to sign the letter n fax it back. Instead of faxing, can i email them back? I dont have fax machine with me.

After this, i still need to bring the letter to maybank branch for further action?

Thanks! Its quite urgent because the offer letter going to expire soon as it took so long to reach my house.

Anyone know if we can withdraw the pledged FD? While at the same time keeping the card?

Any idea if this card is worth keeping when I move to the US? Foreign transaction fees/exchange rate hassles included, that is...
I'm likely unable to get my own higher-earning CC until I build up some credit in the US, so my choices aren't that great. I can be a supplementary on a Chase Sapphire Reserve so there's 3x on travel and dining, but 2 Cards / VI offering 4.3x (ringgit exchange rate lol) on anything else seems to complement it well.

Just managed to redeemed SIA Business saver SIN-SEOUL return for me and my gf.

However i realized SIN-SEOUL aircraft is Boeing 777-300ER with SIA new business class come with full flat bed but return flight is Airbus A330-300 which is old school business class seat. The different is huge from the picture

Any way to see what is the aircraft for this flight before redeemed?

Guys, do you know what sort of fees maybank charges for this card for foreign / overseas spend? I poked around the website and couldn't find it.

I assume:
- Non-preferred FX rate determined by Amex
- An additional 1.5-2.0%fee levied by Maybank
- Anything else?

nothing fancy lah haha. i live in SG now so trying to do the math whether it's worth it to apply for the mbb card and use it in SG (aka foreign spend) for my daily expenses.

(SG cards around 1.3-1.4 mpd which works out to around rm2.22-rm2.39/mile)

I think SG cards will still accrue more points faster and better due to the loss in Forex.

I think the VI also gives you x5 for overseas spends.

But technically you lose more with the forex change + 2.5% on top of the Amex what?

Any detailed calculations to show that using this M2P is better than using a SG based CC?

rm4.67cents? so around sgd1.5-1.6cents/mile actually quite reasonable leh.

locally our credit cards annual fee renewal bonus miles (eg citi premiermiles is 10000miles for s$192.60) is almost sgd2cents/mile.

but i guess it depends on your redemption pattern ie do you normally redeem biz or first tickets, and how much “roots” you still have in malaysia 😬

for me i almost totally cut ties with msia liao, so it would be quite a bit of effort to reopen banking accounts, etc 😭

hi sifu, previously i pledged FD partially to apply for this card, after 2 years my credit limit had gone up quick a lot and i wish to withdraw the pledged FD amount but remain to hold the card.

Did any sifu here know what is the actual withdrawal process?

thanks

My limit have double over the pass 2 years since I pledge the FD, the increase in CL is definitely much higher than the Pledge FD amount.

Dint receive any letter from them, do you know how is the exact procedure?

Thanks

Just enjoy 50% discount on seafood buffet at lemon garden Shangri-La over the weekend.

Noticed this benefit is only valid through 31 Dec 2017.

Enjoy while it last and did anyone have any news that Maybank will renew this benefit? Or compensate with other on par benefit?

if without paying annual fee,this is the cheapest card to earn mile,what if paying annual fee and how to calculate the mile/RM

count like this dunno correct or not....

let's say i spend 40k /year and pay RM800 annual fee.
so total                =RM40800
Total TP  earned  =200K points
TP to Kris mile    =41200 miles

mile/RM = RM40800/41200 miles =RM0.990/mile
