Manchester United Visa Infinite (MUVI) card FAQS

For the Manchester United Visa Infinite (MUVI) card, earn 5x TPs whenever Manchester United WINS a Premier League match. Only English Premier League (EPL) matches are eligible. Other matches in the FA Cup, Champions/Europa League, EFL (Carabao) Cup are not eligible.

To earn the bonus TPs, spending has to be on the SAME DATE as the match kickoff in UK Time. For example, match is at 4.30pm 1 January (UK time), which is 12.30am 2 January (Malaysia time). Spending has to be done on 1 January Malaysia time to be eligible.

The following is a list of Manchester United's upcoming league fixtures in local time.
https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/12/Manc...United/fixtures
Just to reiterate, for matches that kicks off AFTER midnight, spending has the be done the day before. For those that want to maximise TPs by spending only when MU wins, look for early kickoffs before 10pm local time, that way you'll know the result before the day is over.

For TP reconciliation, note that you will be credited 2x normal TPs for your spending. The additional 3x bonus TPs will be credited to your account at a later date.

So, is it confirmed effective March 2016:

1. 5x PPL access for principle
2. 0x PPL access for supplementary cards (Reserve & VI)
3. Only one PPL access for principle Reserve/VI and can't use both cards for 2pax?

Saw this statement in their Maybank 2 Cards Premier page. The link is not working as of now.

"Kindly be informed that effective 15 April 2016, Maybank will be revising the TreatsPoints earning. Click here for more info."

I think they are going to cut down or take out point earnings for certain spending categories like what they did on other cards recently.

Question regarding the 6 digit pin, saw from maybank2u ..

CODE
CREDIT / CHARGE CARDS

Your existing Maybank Credit / Charge Cards will be replaced from 1 April 2016 onwards, in phases. Once you have received your new Card, you may activate and set PIN for the new Card through the channels below.

Source: http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...sonal/CRD-Cards

Existing card with pin-enabled also get replace?

Just called MBB to reconfirm, they said all cards under MBB is affected including MBB 2 cards Premier.

MBB 2 cards Premier will the be same as Maybank 2 Platinum Card. I notified them that it is confusing that it was not stated on the MBB 2 cards Premier, so the CS said will report this up and hope to see better version to avoid confusion.

There's no purpose for paying RM800 to maintain this card if that's the case. The bulk of our payments are towards the categories that they have mentioned. Not so much premier after all and I just got my card last week.

Once I lose the 5x TP for Amex and the 4.77 points per KF/AM/Enrich mile I'm out. Thanks Maybank.

Looks like the 5X drop to 1X TP is only affecting Govt, Utilities, Petrol, Edu and Insurance. If this goes the same for shopping and other purchases. I will definitely cancel M2P

Same also like what you said about if Maybank reduces the 4.77 points per Enrich. No way am I going to keep it if that is also take away.

Means for other spending like restaurant, hotel, flight, shopping etc Amex Reserve 2 still pay 5 pts and Visa Infinite 2 pts for local and 5 pts for overseas right? That is, no change at all except those categories listed like petrol, governemnt, education etc. Roughly about 30% treat points "earning power" reduced? shakehead.gif

Again it depends on your primary objective. Most of us have moved away from Enrich and are focusing more on Asia Miles or Krisflyer so the HLB VI doesn't do anything here. The Wise with cashback might be a different story though, at least there is real cash involved.

i think MBB know their game and is pushing the limit, well how many % of your spending are affected? I would say mine is less than 10%.

Their conversion to miles is still the best, though i really don't know how long more this will last judging by the rate they are reducing the benefit

mbb advantage is the many merchant that offer discount with their cards. if not for that would have cancelled their cards long ago...worth it to keep a free for life card for those discounts I think.

amex plat is basically a useless card now with the PPL access going straight from unlimited to 0 but they never refused an AF waiver before...so keeping that for discounts.

i think MBB know their game and is pushing the limit, well how many % of your spending are affected? I would say mine is less than 10%.

Their conversion to miles is still the best, though i really don't know how long more this will last judging by the rate they are reducing the benefit

For me RM12k-15k annually are with utilities/petrol/government, maybe slightly more. So potentially 25% of my spend.

For me one alternative might be the Amex Gold Credit card which still earns 5x Membership Rewards for petrol (~RM1.2 per AM/KF/Enrich).

Amex Gold is still free for life, so at least I won't worry about having to meet a minimum annual spend. The biggest problem with Amex gold is splitting the spend ie. my points will be spread across Treatspoints and Membership Rewards, never a good idea unless you have 6-figure or higher spend.

The new chart sucks. I will still keep the M2P card until I get hit by the RM800 annual fee in August, then time to cancel...

I think no point going for those cash back card and what not to save RM50 or RM100 per month. The value of these card is in the points for miles to enjoy luxurious business or first class travel. Will still stick to Premier 2 cos it is still the best despite cutting and maybank knows it. I just hope other banks will step up and launch an aggressive campaign to wrestle away all those higher limit cards via better miles accrual system. I just dont understand. The margin for credit card debt should be high enough for more competitive packages..but no....so far...all also like shit

Wow! that's a lot of utilities!

Depending on your goal and willingness to take the trouble in order to maximize the cashback. Most if not all, cashback credit cards are capped at RM50 per month, with the exception of HLB WISE at RM100 per month.

And also, channel of paying for the utilities, i.e. via Online, Paying at the Grocery Stores, Autodebit, etc will also rewards you with cashbacks. But then you must be willing to apply for all the cards and apportion your payment accordingly. It will be a lot of hassles.

If I am you, this is like a project that I will need to carefully plan. And if you are into travelling, consider those premium travel cards like sugggested above which will help you fast track to the dream vacation you want on business/first class flights.

for those AMEX usage only 10-30% affected, and if the amt not high, can continue stay with premier.
like my case is RM4k per mth in utilities, then getting a 10% cash back worth a lot. imagine if i apply it under my name, my wife, my parents name, 4x RM100 x 12mth = RM4,800

then getting another card for petrol, at least another saving RM700 per year.

One good alternative will be SIA Krisflyer Gold

1. 5x Msia PPL access
2. 3000 krisflyer miles upon sign up
3. RM2 = 1 miles awarded; if you spend 60k & above, you will be awarded with basically RM1 = 1 miles

I actually can bet on the anniversary thing, got this KF card few months ago, and suppose AF only kicks in by Sep 2017, if bonus miles can credit in Sep 2016 (less than 12 months usage) then I will go for it.

in actual sense, our m2p card earning rate has dropped quite abit after factoring in all the categories that don't earn 5x on amex.... even VI don't give x2 on those categories anymore..

the way i see it, it's like RM 4.77 to 1 mile... it's as good as increasing the redemption point requirement for m2p.

yes, if you value EM as RM0.10, then RM0.10/RM4.77 = 2%, still high la.
but what if you value EM as RM0.05? then it becomes 1% cash back

today, i just applied pbb visa signature 6%, and now otw to HongLeong for WISE 10% card

Does anybody know the goverment and education is it worldwide or only Malaysia? Genxyz in his blog seems to say that he now can't pay his children's overseas tuition fee as that education. Would not that be under foreign spend?
Likewise insurance, is it only local insurance?
What if I have UK or Australian investment insurance? Would that be under foreign spend?

local insurance and overseas insurance will still be insurance.

Foreign spending is when you swipe physically at foreign country in foreign currency.

I think better to call CS to confirm. As I know, as long as u charge non-MYR, then it's considered as foreign spending.

Overseas insurance is considered as insurance. But, I can also say that oversea insurance is considered overseas ma. :-)

Thanks for the data point, in other words Maybank is looking at the merchant code/category, not what currency it's being charged.

So if your merchant code is government then you won't get 5x treat points no matter what currency it's charged in.

This is interesting because I paid Australia Tax Office with the Visa Infinite and got 5xTP despite it being government. That's the reason I ask because important to know with these changes whether it affect foreign spend (ie all foreign spent is 5xTP regardless insurance, gov, education).
I guess when 15 April comes along, can do a test spend first. Anybody with overseas children tuition, maybe can try pay small amount RM100 or something and see what happens and report back?

formed a strategy, this is my own case

Utilities (TNB) roughly RM2.8k per mth, i save RM250 x 12mth = RM3000 per year
RM100 - HLB WISE card, 10% for utilities max cap RM100
RM100 - HLB WISE card, 10% for utilities max cap RM100 (2nd card register using wife name)
RM 50 - PBB Visa Signature, online spending 6%, max cap RM50

Petrol roughly RM 800 per month, by estimation i can save RM 40 x 12mth = RM 480 per year
RM 20 - citibank cash back platinum -5% petrol cap RM20
RM 20 - uob one card platinum - 5% petrol cap RM25 weekend

Hand phone, TM and unifi is under Telco but it is interesting to point out that OCBC Titanium used to refer TM trnx as utility! So this is still very much everyone's guess for the moment

Yup. They will either approve the application outright or will require some sort of a collateral, eg RM5k FD pledge for a card member with 25k CL.

sighs, been surveying for few days and cant find the next best alternative card to use after Apr 15.

Anyone can enlighten me? 30k of company utilities bills per month.

P/S: Next to use will be Maybank KF Amex, kind of reluctant because I am more to AM than KF.

Honestly they didnt mention M2P into their table. Even those card thats affected, there are some with Cross to it that i assumed they mean no changes...

You are safe to use until they revise the table. Thanks to those who computed the table. LOL

There is another table with all the premium cards. All are affected.

I will apply for KF amex this weekend. I almost hit the spending required for the premier 2 cards 4 months into my 2nd year. I guess the amex Reserve can keep in cold storage liao

Called up CSR to further inquire about the upcoming points earn changes.

1. For utilities, it only effect things like TNB, Indah Water, does not effect telco/internet (celcom, tmnet, maxis) - still 5 points.

2. For petrol accross the board 1 point down from 5 points. However card like petronas platinum, will still earn the bonus points as stated when pump at petronas.

3. For gov and education, will include those from overseas as long as the terminal (?merchant code) is gov or education. However, many gov and education institution overseas may not use the relevant terminal/code and thus will still get 5 points. Looks like will have to do testing, eg if paying for children's tuition overseas, I think test swipe minimal amount first and see how many points posted. I will be doing that for Australia Tax Office too.

So overall, I think the effect on me will be my petrol (RM200/month, lost of 800points/mth, 5points to 1point) and insurance (RM3000/month, lost of 3000points/mth, 2points to 1point). Don't have much electricity/water payment. Over a year that's about 9-10k enrich points lost. Got to figure out if worth the effort to apply / swipe other cards (HLB VI?). Likewise for upcoming LHDN payment...better quickly pay before 15 April..at least get 2 points instead of zero.

Yes, accepts AmEx and counted as groceries. I guess RM 1,000 per transaction?
I always frequent Sam's Groceria though if I have the time I will ask.

I know for their TnG limit is RM 500 per reload, you can reload few times.

You can even pay the membership of RM 12 with your credit card and will be calculated as groceries too. tongue.gif The membership is for lifetime and once you sign up, you will get a RM 10 voucher.

Remember to sign up before making any transaction, because the points cannot be backdated.

guys, i've called the cust service to check on a few things.
They told me Telco such as telekom, maxis, p1 all is considered under utilities. When asked for black and white, say don't have b&w, it all depends on the code on the CC terminal.

Gawd, hate this kind of uncertainty. it's like playing jackpot when we're paying our bills. Strike jackpot, you get 5x. if not then it's x1.

but the CS is stating the fact.

you can own a retail shop but reusing the old card terminal used when you started as restaurant, your terminal MCC will remains at restaurant cause the bank would not know your business nature has changed and the owner would most probably didn't care to register/update merchant account due to cost and paperwork, after all, there is no impact in card processing for the customer and bank.

yea.. that part i know.

but if you're paying bills like autopay with telekom, maxis, digi and celcom, it'll be treated as utilities and hence x1 only..

well have to try out for 1 month to confirm this. If this is really the case, just gonna switch out the autobilling to other VI cards.

since your utilities bill amount is high, can consider HLB fortune card......If you can hit more than 100K spending per annual, the cash back is more than 2% biggrin.gif

I understand the main purpose of holding premier dual, but he did mention to get a cash back card for replacement, so i suugest him to consider hlb card.

Btw, for utilities expenses, hlb or alliance vi can be the choices for airmiles convertion, right?

I think maybank and other banks will continue cut down all benefit for credit cards, because the bank negara cut down the interchange fee until 2020, after 2020, will getting lower, so all credit card benefit will drop again ><

Yea its not a bad alternative. But it means retail spend not sure if utilities are considered though. But the 5x overseas still lower than M2U VI/Amex, same goes to local trx. However it only need rm30k for free waiver. Alot easier haha

Received a letter from Maybank saying Priority Pass will be discontinued. Plaza Premium Lounge can use 5 times locally plus overseas(singapore, hong kong, shanghai, vancouver, london, macau, india, oman etc) however, no mention of whether supplementary card holder of visa infinite can enter?

I tried to apply standalone VI at KLCC today and the customer service tol me that she is not sure if it can be done as I already have one with my M2Premier.

I insist it can be done thus it was submitted and will wait to hear from them.

have to say I am disappointed with KLCC branch, I was given a number and the counter that service me told me she cant do anything as I am existing user. had to wait again and total of 30 mins of queue. I visitted 1U outlet many times and never wait for.more than 10 mins

Best u call CS to check.

The category listed by Maybank is kind of general because they did not specified MCC code, hence no one know how they grouping each other. ie, waterbill in Kedah, is captured as Utilities by Hong Leong but Government Payment by Maybank coz its state-owned.

Just curious, why would you need a VI standalone if you already have the Premier? Are the benefits different?

Also separate annual minimum spend requirements for fee waiver, RM80K for M2Premier and RM50K for the standalone VI.

Maybank refused to waive the annual fee for my Maybank VS though my spending on M2Premier alone was in excess of the minimum spend for both cards combined.
And with all the reduction in benefits, it was a no brainer to cancel the VS.

I think Amex is 2x for education, while VI still 5x for overseas trx. The TP revision to 1x for edu only take effect from 15-Apr onwards.

I have the Maybank2Premier, recently i missed a domestic flight and called them for insurance claim (flight replacement perhaps), but they only say for overseas flight.

for my recent trip to europe, i used both amex and visa, to study which cards give better conversion rate.

The rate really uncertain,

in London, sometime amex better, sometime Visa better.
Attached Image


In europe, travel to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, Visa has better rate.
Attached Image


side notes:
now i realize we should avoid using AMEX for Gov related transaction because it only give 1x TP.
i reload my Oyster card using both AMEX and VISA (pay to Transport for London, some kind of gov entity), VISA earning 5x TP, while AMEX only 1x TP.

I would love to find out how you can pay a TT with a credit card. biggrin.gif
Even if it were possible, the fees involved is typically a lot higher than just paying straight to the merchant, assuming the merchant accepts cards.

No. It is a 3rd party website. I think Maybank promotes global eshop or something like that

Thought to have final swipe for SSPN just now, the officer said SSPN no longer allow credit card payment/top up...

Credit card is just for PTPTN payment and it will get charge RM 0.53 as fees...

anyone knows if telekom (unifi and streamyx) and maxis is considered utilities earning x1 or normal transaction earning x5? i usually pay these bills on m2u.

From M2U bill payment, Maxis is under broadcasting & telecommunication while Telekom is under utilities.

Have to re-plan bill payments.. those earning only x1 have to shift to other cards like HLB Mach Signature.. At least it's RM 3 = 1 Enrich.

No longer 2X or 5X Treats Points when we pay for our utilities (Tenaga Nasional / Syabas / Gas Malaysia / Indah Water) , giving only 1X point bangwall.gif

Telekom (Unifi and Stremyx), Maxis, Celcom, DiGi, Umobile and Astro are NOT classified as utilities so still can earn 5X Treats Points with the Maybank 2 Cards AMEX (Gold, Platinum and Premier). rclxm9.gif

According to Sifu Gen-X...

EPP means installment plan. Example, u buy a handphone & take 24 months 0% EPP. The purchase amount only entitled to 1x point, not 2x.

Given your level of spending can't you qualify for the Maybank Diamante? Does that still qualify for 5x TP?

You need roughly 800k AM/KF/Enrich?

Premier CS forward my request to Diamante department, unfortunately they said spending pattern is not eligible for it, by invitation only.

For the 5x, need dctravels to clarify it.

I need 750k AM for the next trip, or will have to cut down some leg.

I don't understand Maybank, sometimes I think they are out of touch with their customers if they're not allowing spending at youur level to get a decent card...

750k AM sounds like a fun trip. My stash of miles is quickly winding down as well due to reduction in spending, plus a lot of redemptions over the past 1.5 years.

Good luck.

Maybank seems to have temporarily "Lost" most of my TPs

I had 350K on last statement, probably 450K with last spending - now only shows 36K online and when I called them too.

Hopefully resolved in time to upgrade my soon coming trip to NZ!

I didn't use any of the TPs

Some months ago (I think October or November) I updated my passport details with Maybank branch here as my old passport had expired - because that didn't get updated on the credit card accounts I stopped receiving e-mail statements. No big deal, as I only usually use the online activity anyway and ignore the statements.

Anyway when I called them recently to order a new card I mentioned the statements to them which they fixed and updated passport details, again some confusion as the branch keyed in the details wrong by 1 character it seems.

End result - no statements by e-mail yet (although they sent copies today, with correct previous TP balance) and the 450K approx TPs missing somewhere. Have told me it'll take 1 week to resolve ... hopefully that's the case.

Do keep us up to date on how this is resolved. Maybank customer service is typically slow, but they do eventually come around to fixing stuff. I would like to see some good news coming out of Maybank as well after the recent TP earnings devaluation.

Now that petrol only earns 1xTP, does anybody know if we can purchase petrol vouchers or giftcards from anywhere? Maybe groupon or any supermarket? Earn 5xTP hopefully by paying with AMEX then pump petrol using the giftcard / voucher.

Just check out 11street, the petrol vouchers are e-vouchers, redeemable at selected BHP only. There's also a physical rm20 voucher but shipping rm3.70. Oh well...back to drawing board.

Sometime ago, someone wrote here that you are able to check overall total spent on your card (to check if you meet the annual waiver) via M2U. I just can't seem to recall how this is done. Can anyone assist? Thanks so much

I think you use the m2u planner. I tried but for sine some reason it only recorded my usage from certain month onwards. I tried to resolve it by calling them, emailing them, PM them. They ask me send screen shot etc etc to various department. Got fed up so didn't use it.

Hello Guys and Girls,

I'll be leaving the country soon for greener pastures. I need advice on my keeping the Maybank 2 Premier cards. Would it be better in terms of treatspoints, benefit, currency rates etc etc if I were to maintain these cards i.e use it as I normally would in Malaysia in the new country.

Also, My new job will have me travel all over the world very frequently. I'm just weighing out the currency rates and overseas transaction fees (if any) between Maybank 2 Premier Cards to Local Cards. Not to mention that local cards with almost the same benefits with Maybank 2 Premier Cards (initial comparison) has annual fee of almost rm3000. Settling outstanding balance should not be a problem with Maybank2u.

Needless to say that the local cards/bank are not available at Malaysia. Only HSBC and Citibank.

Has anyone tried before transferring the points to a frequent flyer programme under different name? Is is allowed? I'm asking because I might have huge company spending in future, hence I'll definitely have too much points balance. Thinking transferring some of it to my family members and relatives. I know for Enrich, I can buy the tickets on behalf and for Asia Miles I can maintain up to 5 friends and families account. But it's troublesome each time I have to buy for them. Moreover if I really have too much points might consider trading it too (not sure if it's allowed though if I trade the points through transfer directly from credit card to others' frequent flyer account). I know ethically selling points are not allowed. Need some help here as I'll really be flooded with points very soon.

that would depend on whether ur company will allow you to claim in the actual charged amount (in ringgit currency) or the amount paid (usually for foreign company it's in USD). While overseas transaction do get 5x points, you'll also get charged on higher conversion rates and foreign transaction fees.

Knowing where'll be based will narrow down a little further. US cards have better benefits such as high sign up bonus and earning rates. Not to mention they are usually 1 to 1 point transfer to airlines.

Personally i don't think this is a good news. We used to get 5x PPL access worldwide and not for some limitrd overseas PPL. On the other hand, the AmBank VI and WMC will be happy with the complimentary unlimited access to PPL.

Sigh, i park my allianz insurance with this card but sadly need to move on as MBB have reduced the 2x TPs to just 1x TP for insurance payment. Kinda hard to foresee i can hit the no annual fee threshold this year.

just got my cc statement yesterday, i had used my VI to pay for a travel insurance under tokio marine (rm423) with posting date 16/04/16 and making a payment of electricity deposit under SESB (Sabah) (rm1000) with posting date 20/04/16, both earn 2x point. hmm... i thought it suppose to be 1x?

somehow the way the statement gave the bonus point for the above transactions are classify under overseas spending and the total point given slightly not matching. Suppose to be 423 + 1000 = 1423 point, but given 1432 point. i had recalculate many times and really sure the 1432 point given under overseas spending does not correspond to any other transactions on the statement.

Refer to this thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3757650
I have been paying my bills there every month and earn cash back under groceries category using my HLB Wise or Ikhwan MasterCard. biggrin.gif

Yes, just go to the cashier and tell her/him that you want to pay for TNB, then read out the bill no. and she/he will punch on the screen. Minimum amount is RM 20. I also pay for my UniFi bill. Yeah, I also suggest you to sign up for the membership, RM 12 for lifetime membership and comes with RM 10 voucher.

i calculate the point and it show correctly..
Tokio Marine only 1x TP..
VI suppose to earn 2x TP on retail purchase..

oversea spend 1432 <--- this is under amex transaction.
you need to find transaction that around RM358..
maybe previous statement but only credit the points in this statement

herc and fruitie, thanks for sharing the option of paying utility bills at Sam's to secure the 5xTP.
Like many here, I have up to 10K in bills to pay per month (4 TNB bills). Considering the limit of just 1K at Sam's, what is the best way to go about this? I don't want the cashier to look at me as if I'm a looney blink.gif

Based on my memory for Nu Sentral outlet since I go there few times in a month, they have 6 counters. So if you have 4 bills, you can pay 4 bills in the same counter and hop to another one for another cycle of 4 bills, I don't think you need 10 unless you are paying 10k. laugh.gif If that's the case, you have to split into 2 days. Make another visit. laugh.gif Luckily I work nearby, can always drop by during lunch hour. biggrin.gif

His case is valid because his bill is more than RM 1k but you only allow RM 1k per bill per counter. laugh.gif

Oh wait let me get this right. It is 1k max per bill per counter or simply 1k max in total? For eg, I have 4 tnb bills each about 2k...can I get 1k settled frm each bill in 1 counter? That way I just need to go 2 counters? Sorry for asking repeatedly, abit blur sweat.gif

1k per account per counter. Yes, two counters are sufficient.
However, to please the customers behind you, I suggest you just go to more counters rather than hogging the queue. You will need to pay 4x, cannot pay one shot for 4 bills even they are different accounts.

Collected my Maybank 2 Premier cards at 1U Card Center.
I had to ask for the Welcome Kit from the officer as they just gave me the 2 envelope with the cards.
The Welcome kit is a Passport holder with old pamphlets inside doh.gif doh.gif

Not sure because I have not paid anything more than 200.
Well, if it's 500, then have to split more.

tat's why i wonder when someone mention 1k per counter. It's always been 500 to me.

Sam's here only 3~4 counter open, sometimes I need to wait for them to open. Still have a lot outstanding to pay and I have to shift the usage to other cards.

herc is it confirmed that your tnb bills paid at Sam's is giving you the 5x TP after the recent annoucement by Maybank?
I think Maybank will see at least 30% drop in their card usage with this new revision and hopefully they will do something to stop the bleeding.

Paying bills in Sam's is considered as groceries. So, if groceries is not one of the affected categories, it will not be affected at all.
I have been paying my bills using my groceries cash back cards and get my cash rebate every month.

yes confirmed, any bill u pay there is considered as groceries, 5X TP no problem.

paying 10k bills there is applicable and not too hard to achieve, but imagine mine is 40k

40K ?? my goodness you must have racked up a few million points by now.
I earned about 1 million points in just 12 months, back when everything thing is 5x on the Amex Reserve.
But now that is history and we have to resort to paying bills at the grocer! bangwall.gif

With MNC you already have very nice perks and benefits, no need to slowly rack up airmiles like us smile.gif
but it is nice to bring your spouse to a holiday on business class. Take a 13 hour flight to london and when you arrive you go "already?" I was just about to enjoy the A380 haha

RM 1 = 1 point. 1000 points can redeem RM 10 voucher.

suggest you to use HLB Mach Signature or HLB Visa Infinite if you can qualify for it. i had this dilemma too when MBB implemented the devaluation... So far only HLB Mach Signature fits me cos banks don't recognize commission as income even though i easily qualify for VI cards...

It's not 5x like amex, but at least it's about RM 2.8 = 1 mile to RM 3 = 1 mile...

spend >60k per annum, you will get 1 mile for every RM1 spent. (normal rate is 1 mile per RM2, but there is bonus if you spend >60k)

Downside is you have no choice of FFP, directly go into your KF acc.

i still haven't find any suitable card for it yet.

At the mean time just visit Sam and split some to HLB Fortune.

The KF Amex is the best alternative for TNB, with bonus at RM1:1mile (max 200k) and RM2:1mile thereafter, but like u said, its only KF, still reluctant to use it, yet.

U get 1 mile for every RM2 spend, credit in on your statement date.

Upon reaching 60k spend within the anniversary year, u get bonus of 1 mile for every RM2 spend, on your anniversary date (+60 days).

Total up as 1mile:RM1 spend.

Cilaka.... If they offering like this, chances are the tp to miles range are going to be revised soon... Once redemption rate starts to go up and becomes unsustainable they'll review the transfer rates.

good thing about MBB so far with all the devaluation, fair to say they gave ample time for you to redeem before the new rate kicks in

I think u don't really need to worry about when it will be charged bcoz even it has been charged, when u call to cancel, the annual fee will be reversed.

No offense but I think your Barking at the wrong tree.

Indeed it's a partnership between MBB and TGV but you are indeed standing at TGV so if there are no counter presence you should take it up with TGV manager working at that time.

If you complain to MBB what do you hope for the outcome? To audit and ensure every TGV has a person stationed there? What if one day they are short of staff due to on leave or MC? That's why I believe you should take it up with TGV stationed manager.

For those who has other card prior to obtaining premier, they follow the anniversary based on your other card

Example i had M2Platinum which anniversary is on May

I obtained M2Premier on Nov 2014

The annual fee was never shown in my statement until May 2016.

I always wondered why people in this forum always has the patience with the bank.

Seriously if TGV would have responded well on the case, the fellow customer would not have to complain it over to Maybank.

Just like previously CIMB promotion on KFC 5% discount, but almost 30% of the KFC outlets does not accept credit cards. Complaint it to KFC, reply is "we don't know". Call to the bank, reply is "we not sure".

Personally I will never side on the bank. Call me extreme or opportunist if you want.

Of course I took it up with TGV la. All they say is counter close. Please join the normal Q. Sue I bark at MBB la. MBB committed this as a benefit when they informed the cardholders. If they dont want to be responsible, they shouldnt use this promotion for advertising. Disgraceful.

I agree. Our "relationship" is with MBB and not TGV. There are many reasons why people are using their cards, i.e benefits, miles, etc. Hence bank cannot just simply publicize "attractive" promotions but customers do not really enjoy or receive what is promised. Disclaiming responsibility is to be condemned and most deplorable. I believe they don't have that much say in this, but at least they can highlight this to TGV and not sending a standard reply to customer.

Think it this way, u go A**** mall, saw a S****** phone u like and buy it, after that u found it is used phone and u bark at S*******? S******* phone is being displayed (analogy to the Maybank promotion pamphlet that being displayed in TGV) in A**** mall but why u bark at S*******? The phone is sold by A***** (offer of priority lane by TGV in ur case) but S******* (MBB in ur case) is not liable to it.

I doubt you can simply use MBB's name as a promotional exercise without any form of prior approval or agreement from MBB. Moreover TGV is not a small timer phone kiosk that is willing to use a bigger name for own benefit unofficially.

Just my opinion, was it stated anywhere in MBB or TGV's website that a MBB priority lane is a card benefit for MBB cardholders?, if yes then i reckon you can complain to both parties, if not, there isnt really an argument. it would be up to TGV's branch to operate their lane based on their discretion.

Visa card spent locally will be 1 tp RM1

No, it's 2TP for RM1 spent locally & 5TP for RM1 spend overseas. So, local spend is eq to ~1 mile per RM2.5 spent.

1xTP is for M2C Platinum/Gold. For M2C Premier which come with Visa Infinite, it's 2xTP (except insurance, utilities that earns 1xTP, gov 0xTP).

Even without business expenses, a larger household can get close to that amount. Groceries (~RM2-3k) + utilities (TNB + mobile + astro + unifi) + fuel is already 4-5k per month. Add a holiday or two plus festivities and you can easily top RM80k per year.
