I'm using gold card but any advice on how to upgrade it to platinum?
I travel quite frequent so having the extra travel insurance from the platinum card will give me a peace of mind.
*
Just send an email to CS, they will send you the requirements or upgrade directly in Maybank branches/card centres.
Anyway, don't expect a lot from the travel insurance. I saw people commented before it's just a basic one.

Yes, but Gem5 accept AMEX I believe

11 Street also has. I bought a TV at 1.30 a.m. and noticed it will be too late for weekend cash back, so used my CIMB CR instead. tongue.gif

I think you confused it with the 10% petrol cash back. smile.gif

QUOTE(warren11 @ Apr 4 2017, 12:27 AM)
May I ask

1) If existing M2C Plat holder,can request to apply for M2C Gold?
2) If can,the CB is separate for both Plat and Gold?

Thanks
*
Well, doesn't matter cash back is combined even if you have two sets of cards. When I upgraded my card 2 years ago, my gold cards were cancelled immediately. So I don't think you can have two sets.

I think you can apply for gold card too if you holding Platinum, but the cash back is combine for both cards.
My gold card has no cancel immediately due to some instalment, but can request to cancel anytime since instalment can be transfer to Platinum card even the 16 digit number is not same, as long as no outstanding balance in Gold card
*
If cash back is combined, why still keep additional two cards? blink.gif
I'm trying to reduce the quantity of my cards now. laugh.gif Yesterday reviewed my collection and I think two more will be cancelled by this year. tongue.gif

Hi Frutie,

May I ask how did you upgrade your cards?. Did you call CS directly or re-apply the platinum version as a brand new card?
*
It was a random thought when I was in KLCC back in early 2015, walked in and told them I'm interested to upgrade. Managed to download my payslips on the spot and submitted. There is a form to fill in.

QUOTE(chiahau @ Apr 5 2017, 09:40 AM)
Send an email for upgrade with latest payslips.

But honestly it's pointless.

My gold card limit is 20k or so. Never bother to get it changed
*
Don't need to fight with others by calling general line is already an added value for me.

What's the requirement to get Plat also?

Some banks have minimum CL to get platinum cards.

Maybank macam tarak.

Income requirement is 60k PA only.

I'm still using my ancient gold card but thinking to just get an upgrade to enable easier calling.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 6 2017, 11:01 AM)
The 60k lor. Fyi, i reduced my CL to 10k so I think, even if there is, the min CL is low
*
CL is RM 15k if I'm not mistaken.

15k for a 60k PA card but 20k limit on a card with income ranging from 70k to 100k PA?

Later I drop by branch and ask. Opposite of my office only laugh.gif
*
My VS was approved with 25k CL. I supposed yes.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 6 2017, 11:16 AM)
Offer to upgrade, slowly wait ya  laugh.gif
Means they still allow to go below the min, unlike RHB die die also cannot
*
Yeah. smile.gif Initially I thought I will reduce my CL too but the 0% BT comes quite handy at times, so I'm keeping it and will apply for CL increase later as recently got promotion. tongue.gif

At last becoming lady boss.
I see in other thread you are applying for PBB VS as well.

No la, still an ikan bilis. blush.gif
PBB VS, I gotta be careful to avoid rejection. biggrin.gif

Back to the topic, I will be asking my another foreign colleague to apply for this combo rather than M2Premier or VS since it is more flexible and free AF. smile.gif
She has M2U, not sure if foreigners can apply directly there or just walk in to Gardens for easier application.

I remember helping my foreigner colleague applying credit card before, the bank requested for Company Letter to certify her annual salary and confirm her employee status. It was for Maybank then.

Not sure if this has changed.
*
Yes, that was what required as well when I helped another colleague to apply back in 2014. Recently she has won a few RM 50 from the 9 million campaign and she was so surprised. laugh.gif

Don't mind providing letter to this colleague but just don't want the system to reject it suka2. sleep.gif

FYI, this is what Maybank FB reply me when I ask about bringing credit cards to foreign countries.

Kindly be informed that there is no activation needed for credit card retail overseas transaction. For credit card usage via the overseas online website or overseas, there will be additional charge 2.25% (VISA and Mastercard) on top of the purchase while for AMEX card will be 2.5% on top of the purchase amount.

Generally, there will be a PIN usage of credit card and it is subject to the country and merchant acceptance, as an example for Australia and some European Countries, you may be required to key in your Credit card PIN number. However, there are several countries are still not using the PIN & Pay method. Thank you.
*
Expected answer. smile.gif
They also told me the same via phone. There was another guy reported here, was told the same and yet Maybank still called him in overseas. smile.gif
I just want to have peace of mind for my travels and make it as a habit to call banks. Though I dislike but I have to, just call few banks for me, the rest I keep back home. biggrin.gif

Hi guys, If I'm going to pay LHDN tax using Amex e.g. 5k tax on a weekend, do I get 25k TP?
Going to pay tax payment via 0% EzyPay Instalment plan of up to 12 months.
*
It should be parked under Government transactions which give 0xTP.

How about if I have the actual date to be travels (few of trips) within this year, can this be done to bank ? Anyone tried before ?

Called CS and mentioned that where/when will be travelling, therefore, one call for multiple tripsĀ  smile.gif
*
Yes can, when I told them I'm always travelling. They said just call them and inform in advance of my plans. The thing is I know I will always travel but not sure when especially I always travel on last minute basis.
So, if you have confirmed schedule can inform them in advance.

AmEx cannot link to PayPal for MYR currency, only Visa or MasterCard but if foreign currency then it's fine.

3. My annual income just lack of few hundreds to meet 60k, but if include bonus it can exceed the min. requirement for Platinum M2C. Do u think I can successfully get approved for the Platinum M2C?

To add on what David has just posted, I think I saw it few days ago that someone posted Maybank only considers basic salary + fixed allowances as annual income.
