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.

Premier card affected as well. same categories
Government, EPP utilities petrol Education and insurance. Just like the rest of the maybank plat cards. Other categories not listed will not be affected by the change

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

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

no waiver regardless of spending?

Just called Amex, they just need 1.5k spending for 6 months to waive the KF Amex card.

Conclusion, better whack all before 15th april 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

All the while how did you pay your utilities bills?

Ya. Why not pay at Sam grocer it's 5x.

Ya..it's groceries not sure they accept Amex, but I think yes. Not sure about the limit thing. Will check out when I go next time. Pls update if u get the info. BTW, did u sign up for the SPG gold?

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.

Any issues with overpaying utilities before the TP rates change?

Looking to pay maybe 6-12 months in advance for TNB, Maxis etc. before April.

Sorry, to be sure, maxis and unifi wont be affected?

I've only got the paper at the back lol. Gonna request for it or should I wait until they send me the replacement card for pin authentication
