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?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 3 2023, 09:12 PM) 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

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 3 2023, 09:17 PM) Well, good for you then.  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 This post has been edited by Lembu Goreng: Oct 3 2023, 09:19 PM

QUOTE(limeuu @ Oct 3 2023, 11:32 PM) 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?

QUOTE(limeuu @ Oct 4 2023, 04:54 PM) 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?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 05:59 PM) 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

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 06:17 PM) 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.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 06:35 PM) 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

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 06:49 PM) 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?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 06:58 PM) 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

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 18 2024, 07:20 PM) A simple Google: https://www.alliancebank.com.my/RewardsThe 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

QUOTE(Chronotech @ Jun 18 2024, 08:09 PM) 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.

QUOTE(tzxsean @ Sep 13 2024, 09:53 PM) new card coming? wondering what is the benefit QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 14 2024, 01:09 AM) Looking forward to this new card.  But I guess the miles redemption is still the same.  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 🤷♂️ This post has been edited by Lembu Goreng: Sep 14 2024, 07:14 AM
