It's better to do a local call before you go overseas. In my recent experience, too busy and forgot to call MBB. No issue to swipe and pay overseas. However, within 5 minutes, my phone rings and CS asked if I'm at XX shop at YY city. So, you will get charged for roaming.

Of course, if you don't pickup, your next swipe maybe blocked till CS can contact you.

before i went to perth last year i called MBB to enable oversea transaction, they also said actually no need to call and inform 

Not really.. my last trip to Bangkok in May last year I swipe my AMEX for dining a few times and also during hotel checkout.. all get through without receiving any call from CS.. and i didn't inform MBB that im going oversea before my trip also..

b4 i went to japan in apr 2016, i called mbb to inform them, they also told me no need to call, then when i was in japan paying for JR pass, mbb called me, cost me few bucks for less than a minute call... it's ok only few bucks

This is just my unverified speculation.

Maybank CS advised us not to call them prior to going to foreign country, probably because Maybank do not want us to call the toll-free telephone number for this reason (deemed petty and insignificant by Maybank), and Maybank can deploy lesser CS officers to handle the calls, incurring lower cost.
In the event that Maybank CS is unable to check with us when we use the cards in foreign country, our Maybank credit cards may be blocked, and thus we are inconvenienced and saddled with hefty roaming charges. In short, it is best to call Maybank CS prior to going to foreign country.
I just follow the wise advice given by lilsunflower. 

is this the 5% weekend cashback campaign for AMEX from last year (ended 31 Dec 2016) ? So they already announced who got it ?

Almost 6 months! 

Today I just found out that using Genting Highlands online booking is considered as dining and is eligible for weekend 5% dining cashback!

so that you wont terminate the card just yet 😛

If credit limit only 9k... Want to purchase 20k things... What to do?

Mean, if I have 9k credit limit. I need to purchase 20k item. Just CDM around 12k... So I can use my card for 20k right?

is the maybank in klcc can apply credit card during weekend?

garden and 1U one can get on the spot?

normally maybank need  record of loan repayment of how many months to approve credit card application?
I only have 4 months of loan repayment to date, is this sufficient? Or can i pay the loan in advance to make the records look better?

because i was rejected by citibank credit card. When i tried to apply another card via imoney.com, their rep told me it is difficult to get card approved if i dont have record of repayment. my salary and statement is definitely fulfilled all the requirements, no outstanding debt, no PTPTN loan, i only have car loan that just started 4 months ago and i paid promptly every month. So i really have no idea why i got rejected.

my salary crediting bank is ocbc, their card not attractive in terms of perks. Used to use MBB as salary crediting, hope can have chance on MBB CC.

Have you worked for 1 year yet and filed your tax? If so with the tax form I don't know what's its called will provide a stronger case for you

i couldn't find any suitable for me other than citibank and MBB. HSBC too much T&C

Quote from their website:
"2. If I make a transaction of RM60, how many TreatsPoints will I earn?
The minimum value per transaction is RM30, therefore you will be rewarded with 5 points."

What if I pay RM30 & RM30 in a separate transaction? means 2 times I pay to the same bill ID. I should get 10 points right?

Try my luck just now at KLCC for maybank2cards..apply before lunch and the mbb staff told me can get the card in 2hours if approved..so i went back to office..then i call mbb to check my status, unfortunately got rejected..donno what is the reason..ask the customer service they told approval is subject to management..

I suspect it is due to my PTPTN load got CCRIS record which i hv settled the outstanding and have PTPTN letter saying already clear..yeah i forgot to bring along the PTPTN as supporting document..do u think i can just go back to mbb and appeal to them and show them the letter from ptptn..

i dont think it is due to high commitment as with more than 60k annual income with only housing loan rm1k and 2cars with rm1.2k should be ok i suppose
