Another typical situation is kids annual international school fees. Total credit limit wipe out.

Have you considered cards like HLB Fortune (someone recently revived a thread on this) to pay significant TNB bills? Not sure what your usage requirements are, but it gives 1% on almost any spend except govt and JOMPay as long as you spend more than RM2k per month. However, cap at RM50 (so effectively up to 5000 spending per month) BUT they have bonus cash back upon hitting annual thresholds so you could still get cashback on spending above 5000. A little complicated to explain here but it's clear if you visit the HLB page itself. Can discuss in more detail on that thread.

Strange. The announcement says effective 16 June 2016. I learned the hard way because I had been getting 1% on DBKL and Pos Online, and suddenly one month I received ZERO cashback. Called them and said change in terms.

Some dude on the HLB Fortune thread reported nearly 2% annual returns on his HLB Fortune (after including the annual bonus).

And alleviates cash flow issues, if that is important to you.

Lots of people have received, particularly in the past month. However, there are still many waiting.

Can you see a notification in your M2u online banking portal?

I got mine last month through Mail Drop. All my cards including supplementary were bundled into one pack and left in my post box.

No, sorry I wasn't very clear.

If I recall, when I looked at all my cards, there was something saying "Pending New Card Activation" next to all my CCs, and it was there for maybe 2-3 months. I called CS, but they told me not to worry and that everything would be processed in batches, and that no indication of when mine was arriving. There was no change in status or anything even when the cards were sent out. However, I was just wondering if yours actually says anything, or if its the normal M2U stuff.

In short, I don't think you need to worry yet. Reading through the past posts, as well as in other threads, looks like MBB is still going through each batch slowly so you're not alone.

Yes - After activating and setting PIN, cut up your old cards (across the chip, plus across the important numbers as precaution).

No, the new cards don't have paywave. Paywave is for specific cards e.g. MBB VS, and not part of the PIN initiative.

I applied for M2Premier through 1U card Centre and got approval SMS yesterday. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the cards to be ready (opted to pick up at card centre) and if they will call / SMS before hand?

Jealous!

I just got back from holidays and received my new cards yesterday in the post. Didn't check forum until after midnight and missed the boat.

Will have to start marking match days in my calendar!

Haha - I have all 3 too, but only MU in wallet, since the others have max monthly quota.

Yepp.

Check the EPL fixtures - other matches don't count.

Most people banking on next Saturday match against Brighton, as half time results before midnight will allow them to decide whether to top up.

Today is against Spurs. If you top up today it will be a true gamble. I topped up 2k only for fun. Save your large spending for days where half time (or full time if lucky) results are available before midnight to increase your chances of 5x.

DO IT! I'm anti MU but have converted to the dark side just for the sake of 5x.

Aww thanks so much!

Lol, yeh, current income requirement is only RM120k, which is achievable amongst me and many of my peers.

Imagine how much gross income you need in order to SPEND RM200k (just on MBB CC).

Tomorrow's the day many of us have been waiting for!!! Not even going to bother waiting for match to start. Will just top up during the day

January MUVI spending target completed.

Just got my cards 2 weeks ago and hope to see some TP rolling in.

Sadly no more BP or Boost reload quota left for me this month, or I would definitely go all in today as well.

Oh wow, thanks for the status update.

I just checked mine and am super happy. Just got my MU VI in Jan, and the amount of TP accumulated in less than a month is higher than my normal annual TP earned for all other MBB cards in the past. Thanks to everyone for all the tips (and OGS for increasing our chances).

I understand as I used to be 100% cashback collector. I have NEVER redeemed Airlines in my entire life of playing with CC until this year.

But now after less than 1 month I am obsessed. And I would still strongly recommend getting the cards asap before the game runs out. At the rate I'm going I think I can easily hit the RM80k annual spending requirement by Month 2.

Both. Exhaust CB first (since there isn't much to be gained without PBB promo), then TP collection.
