Actually I can consider that.

For me, points are just points. It's important to see what the points are actually worth. Assuming I get 100K points by spending RM20k during the weekends with the card.

What can 100k points give me? I checked their treatpoints catalogue here: http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p.../PRO-Promotions

90k could get me RM200 vouchers..
To also add in RM50 for the 5% weekend cashback.
if you redeemed On-The-Spot at MB Card Centre, you actually get RM250 vouchers brows.gif

Looking for M2 cards as well, duno which CB is better.  console.gif  Citi CB card got annual fees right?

QUOTE(adele123 @ Apr 18 2017, 11:46 AM)
My perspective la... M2 Cards no annual fee great, but for petrol, if you are driving to work and frequent usage, it's kinda hard to just pump petrol during weekend. If you can managed, great. If not, citibank cash back. Annual fees? Use one year, then see if Citi waives, if not, bye lo biggrin.gif
*
doubt that citibank will waive fees nod.gif
your primary card will be m2 cards and if they don't accept amex, you can use quantum cards thumbup.gif

3. Card required for: Petrol, Easy payment, Bill payment, insurance.

4. Existing credit cards (if any): None except debit card
