same case to me, Barcelona approved, but Ikhwan Petronas keep reject many times
trying email to manual submit, request to split my current conventional limit to Ikhwan Petronas on last friday, no result approve/reject until now

just receive 2 email from them, one is my case number on the same day,
another one is said will pass my case to another unit yesterday

I got the email stating the case number only. Sigh, I wonder how long it'll take to get it approved

haha, use amex first, at least got 5% + 1.25% rebate

Temporary have to do that. My AMEX usually is maxed out for other stuff. Previously was using Citibank Cash Rebate but it was revised recently...so now looking for alternative

It take another 1 week time after you request split limit.

citibank which card?

Not anytime soon then. Well didn't even get a reply on the email saying if it's ongoing or not so it keeps me wondering...

Citibank Cash Rebate.

many conditions to get 10% cash back

And the effective cash rebate is not even 10%. Plus the capped is much lower. Anyway, since this is a Maybank credit card thread...we should stick back to the topic haha

if compare to patrol, maybank only condition is weekend only, good for me, one week pump one time only

Yea and Ikhwan gives more rebates which is at 8% but need to switch to Petronas. I usually pump at Shell.

When you sent? They reply email quite slow. Need after 1-2days.
They reply saying that will forward to relevant department for processing.
Then you shall wait around 5 days like that will know the result.

Just sent it today after getting advice from fruitie haha. Will see how it goes in the coming days.

you can request split 1k and get additional 1k limit
last time i requested split 1k
but mbb din split and gave me 1k limit for ikhwan master
so get additional limit

Nah, it's OK. I don't want to be calculative over that RM 1k, moreover if I were to max out RM 1k, I need to quickly clear the balance in order for new swipes to be transacted. Then I won't fully enjoy 20-days free interest period.

Though I already stopped using this card after I got my VS in 2016. Once my AF is not waived, I will shift back to this card. My groceries expenses have been so much lower these days, only use it to reload TnG maybe two months once or sometimes three months.

may and aug can use barcelona reload tng for 10%
other months can use ikhwan petronas visa for 7.x% at petronas puchong

I've to say that I can see from this thread alone that majority got their Ikhwan by splitting from conventional CL.

Even myself got by splitting from conventional CL.

As this has been discussed so many times before, it's like been hard-coded into my brain and I even straight advise my friends to just split CL if want to apply for Ikhwan.

But there are people who get Ikhwan through new application.

Yes. Hence I only suggested to use split method only if it is rejected.

Most people usually already had at least 1 conventional credit card from Maybank - usually the Maybank 2 cards. So to apply this Ikhwan card, I guess the only way is to split the CL

Imagine other people that doesn't surf lowyat forum...I wonder if they knew how to get the card

One thing that I'm really curious about this card is, why is it so hard to apply via new/fresh application?

I mean, I've been following this thread for quite some time now and the rejection rate is pretty high comparing to other cards. Even my friends have had hard time getting this card not to mention my personal experience

I can see that most are actually existing card holders with MBB but yet still rejected. Some even earn quite a lot and conventional card CL not very high yet rejected. The best part is, I believe some even never had any outstanding with any CC (clean record even after using CC for years) but still rejected.

I don't really care about this actually tbh but it's really interesting to have some insights I mean like is it because it's islamic CC or simply because MBB is just stringent for this card...
