I haven't been charged annual fee for the last 3 years even without spending the minimum amount, probably due to the pandemic.

My renewal is up this November, I take it this year MBB has started charging again?

MBB is not so kind to be honest. You signed up any promo? Or you spent without realizing? It was reduced to 50k during pandemic but back to 80k last year I think.

Yes, I guess it will charge you around 27th Oct.

Oops sorry i'm only due in November.

No way I spent 80k last year..but got waiver

Well, good for you then. smile.gif Never heard anyone got free waiver from them without spending enough.

But surely 2021 got waiver, pandemic year? I got waiver the last 3 years (2020, 21, 22) without spending enough

It wasn't a waiver but a reduction in spending requirement, to RM50k.

M2premier don't give waiver normally.

Well something’s off because I definitely did not spend more than 50k. Oh well since it’s a good thing I’m happy lor

Is it possible to call the CS to ask whether we will be charged the annual fee or not?

of course, or just check your balance in m2u or mae.

Problem is, sometimes you get different answers from different CS agents.

I know I never spent 50k, like every other year. Ok I will call

Once you cancel the card, how long before we can apply again?

I feel Maybank is so horrible now, recently I saw HLB is advertising Earn Unlimited Enrich miles with better earning rates than tiger bank.

I have for some time already but the conversion rate is not favorable. Still sticking back to Alliance VI and UOB PRIV Miles Elite.

Just did a quick calculation for uob

For uob, Need to spend RM9k to get 1k enrich points

For hlb, need to spend only RM3.5k for 1k enrich

But UOB has 10x points for overseas. So RM 0.90=1 mile.

My comparison was for local spending

Most people their spending is local

HLB also got overseas spending, RM2.2 to 1 enrich.

I’m not using it for local, that card is not for local spending. For local I use Alliance VI.
HLB is OK only, it was better last time before the revised the rate but that time I was using CIMB TWE almost exclusively. Then CIMB also revised but couldn’t use HLB that much due to the rate, the good thing is the high limit they give to me. I have both HLB VI and Sutera.
*
Well then you should have clarified you use for overseas spe nding, which makes sense for you to use the uob

Most folks here spend more locally, which makes sense to go for hlb

Funny. Which sentence of yours said you were referring to local? Didn’t I mention about Alliance VI too? It’s more favorable than HLB when it comes to local spending.

Don’t assume everyone’s spending same as yours. Though I also spend locally but you didn’t mention about you applying HLB for local. Or did you? I may have overlooked.

See post 13433

Can you share how Alliance VI calculation is for enrich?

My post no. view is different from normal user because I can see hidden posts as well. Anyway, I only saw a post by you mentioned that you will cancel MBB if HLB is approved. Anyhow, it’s not important anymore.

Check yourself: https://www.alliancebank.com.my/Personal/Ca...ite-Credit-Card I think there’s maximum amount can be spent for online categories too.

Sorry i cannot find any info on enrich conversion in your link

If there is a 3k limit spending then there is no way (at least for my usage) that it is better than hlb

A simple Google: https://www.alliancebank.com.my/Rewards

The question is why limit to one when you can have more options? Anyway, it’s off topic. Choose whatever you like.

Just not into the habit of collecting credit cards. 1 is enough

Thanks

It will take a long time to earn enough air miles from local spending. And then there is the redemption limit and wait list. Not that you are guaranteed seats even if you have all the air miles required.

Agreed.

Unfortunately for most of us, the bulk of our spending is local.

It used to be very good under MBB Premier but now that it is shit, have to look for a better alternative.

Looking forward to this new card. brows.gif But I guess the miles redemption is still the same. laugh.gif

Treats Air Miles will be converted to Treatpoints. Teeat AirMiles had no expiry but Treatpoints have 3 year validity.

For local spending, used to be RM1=2.5 treat airmiles, now become RM1=2Treatpoints

But they calling it an upgrade 🤷‍♂️
