Hi guys, I'm thinking of applying for this M2Premier, I am currently using Maybankard2 Platinum, and have accumulated some TreatPoints using the cards.

Can anyone let me know the following:

1. The TreatPoints which I earned earlier with the platinum visa/amex, can I enjoy the same conversion rate of 4770 to 1000 miles, once I get the Premier? i.e. are the TreatPoints in a same shared pool?

2. After using the Premier card for almost year, if I choose to cancel it (before the annual fee starts), what will happen to TreatPoints earned via that card, will it still be in my maybank account, or lost totally if i don't use it before I cancel?

Thanks notworthy.gif

Just got my premier card approved. Just wondering spending in foreign currency online (ie. paypal, pay in foreign currency), will give x5 TP for VI?

Recently just redeem my first ever business class ticket to europe (later this year). Unfortunately, i only have enough points to redeem 1 way business + 1 way economy (economy yet to redeem). That's why switching into premier card. Feel a bit wasted to redeem for economy class. Purchase of 1 way ticket is so much expensive. Any good suggestions?

Yes, any foreign currency transaction on VI will earn x5TP.

Yes! m2premier's conversion rate is so much better compared to the other m2cards (hence the hefty annual fee), I think you would've been able to redeem 2 business class tickets if your points was on premier card.
Anyway, congrats, you'll enjoy speedy miles collection now! biggrin.gif

Lastly, I don't think you should use your precious miles to redeem economy class, would be a huge waste, value of RM/miles is drastically lower with economy class.
Would suggest you to keep your miles until you can redeem another business/first class tix, try your best to find a cheap one-way ticket back to MY.

Yep, you are really lucky. I did that as well when I got my Premier months ago. Said I wanted to cancel my Plat and transfer the points to Premier and was told I have to use all my Plat points first or lose them...
*
Same for me sad.gif
I got my m2premier card 2 years back and wanted to cancel the plat ones, but was told the same by the CS, no way to transfer them because they are not equal (and the Plat one comes with cashback already), either use them up or burn.
I think the guy above got really lucky!

The fastest way is to call the hotline. The CS is very very helpful

Maybank had devalued their premier card perks over time.... initially it came with priority pass membership worth 5 free entries....then they removed it, but sweetened the downgrade by allowing supp cards to enter ppl 5 times a year....then finally they removed supp access....

But they also "downgrade" the eligibility....from 180k to 120k annual income....
*
Haiz... that’s true, I wish they would have kept the income requirement high and keep those benefits

Or introduce a higher tier credit card

So far the key feature air miles conversion still good.... others feature not so important actually, I used to have total of  20 ppl access each year from MBB card, but rarely use once in pass few years
*
Hmm ya the conversion rate is the only saving grace now

I was hoping they would add benefits like free airport transfer, Hilton/Marriot status etc. Those would be very useful

I know some AMEX card has contactless, but the one that comes with M2Premier one does not right?
Or have they changed this recently?

I hope they clamp down on this and stop people from playing the system. Eventually the bank will find the whole program unsustainable and genuine card users will (unfairly) also suffer the consequences.
*
Ya... l also agree with this.
I think this will eventually have repercussions to the card benefits, ultimately hurt genuine users sad.gif

We have Watford game on 30 March 11pm

Arsenal is this week Sunday (Morning 12.30am kick-off)

I see, thanks

If Arsenal one is 12.30am, we can know the match results before transacting right? Since the game will end by our Sunday afternoon time

Oh wait you are giving the Malaysian time... ok nvm so no chance to have confirmed bonus

Hey guys, just got approved for my M2Premier card.
Not sure if I got the normal VI or MUVI. How to check ah? My M2U portal just says "Premier Visa Infinite", so I'm worried I didn't get the MUVI.
*
You got the non-MU version, it would show MU VI in the portal if it’s the MU one

I was just over the phone with MBB CS. Wanted to redeem TP to KF. Why the redemption is 4500 TP = 1000 KF?

Not 4770 TP = 1000 KF as per website?
*
That was the GST era rate. It is reduced back to 4500TP with the scrapping of GST smile.gif

Called the Premier Line to redeem points for my AmEx Plat's SST.

As usual, it is so impressive that the call was picked up with just one ring, I haven't even got ready with my request yet. laugh.gif

I'm not going to let go this M2P, MU please do me a favour so that I can justify my spending and continue using this service. biggrin.gif

Haha yes. I am always amazed by how fast the premier line answer our calls, seriously hands down the best.

I just received sms that my card was approved but I don’t think I can spend 80k per year with the credit card.

Would like to check is balance transfer count part or the 80k spending?
If I don’t get 80k, can I use AirMiles point to offset/redeem, what is the point needed? Try to find ? Try to find in Maybank webpage but cannot find ? Thanks
*
If I’m not mistaken yes balance transfer counts toward the 80k spend.

You’ll need 400,000 treatpoints to offset the annual fee.
