I can only tell from their written (e-mail) confirmation. I could probably try to use the card to verify but I didn't.

For World MasterCard, it just disappeared from M2U about 3 days after cancellation.

For the VISA Infinite, I received the email that says the card have been cancelled effective <such-and-such> date. But it did not disappear from M2U. 2 weeks after effective cancellation date, I emailed them asking about the link. They replied and told me the link would disappear in 3-5 more days, and then off it went.

So yeah...apart from the written email confirmations, I don't know how else to tell at this point. For the 2 weeks that they did not remove the link from VISA Infinite, RM800 annual fee would have been way overdue (for me), and the charge never appeared. That would be the only other way I can justify my assumption.

I call again to confirm with Maybank and my credit card account already cancel. So I believe it has been cancelled.Then I request to remove from M2U. Then CS request for my debit card number to remove the cancel supp card from M2U.

Still waiting it disappear from my M2U.

Hmm...not sure why they would need debit card number to remove credit card link from M2U. Then again, I can't pretend to know Maybank very well

I did all the cancellation in writing (email). My initial phone calls to CS were made; just to understand the process.

Link removal takes place 3-5 days after cancellation according to them or 3-5 days after you remind them I think.

Best do it in writing if possible. I've had confusing responses this year when I cancelled VI and WM and only renewed M2C Platinum.

The worst is last minit bank officially announcement bank wont absorb the cost sst.

Then most of ppl beratur call to call center request terminate.
But until now mostly bank still silent.. Seems like they cannot accept the fact of downsizing credit card cancellation.

This is not the first time implementation!
Highly doubt that!

All the banks were acting together as a cartel, none of them absorbed govt tax without conditions.
They will do the same thing again.

Yes.. I know.
Normally they officially announcement at least early 1 or 2 weeks before implement.
But this time look "walking slow" already compare previous years.

Dont you think so?

Ok.. then just wait for the announcements.
Hope that implement something reasonable conditions that it wont make us run away..

SST not yet approved and gazetted but our Govt insist to implement it on 1/9. Banks also kelam-kabut till receiving the instructions and guidelines from Customs.

Not like the previous one, Budget in October but implemented in January, so the banks could have 2-3 months to plan and offer.

Personally I find the tax a bit too much. There should be a free card allowance for each individual to hold before they will be taxed. I think the good number is 3 to promote responsible spending else for those card that does not have much benefits and CB all card holders will cancel them for sure

In fact the government is partly trying to get people to cancel cards. Our household debt keeps going up, and CC is part of the problem, especially for lower-income people who will really 'feel' this RM25 (but for various reasons don't realize that their late payment cost them much more than this before).

e-wallet also solves the 'cash' "problem", and without the ease of getting people into debt holes.

just called OCBC and Citibank for card cancellation, not sure if Citi is trying to bullshit me but they say card without annual fee would not have SST. but nevertheless, cancelled their simplicity card.

This one is unexpected. The pattern of people in Malaysia always late to payment and add-on interest until kena blacklisted. (which is normal nowadays). Only so called "smart & calculative" people are aware the serious of situations if late of payment with add-on interest.

If the government "sound like" get people to cancel the cards. Then rather straight away "banned" no credit card in Malaysia for each bank.
Then force people to use "prepaid card" or e-wallet card.

Please learn to multi-quote, not buta-buta post 5 times in a row....

HSBC SST RM25.00 each card. 2 primary and 2 supplementary RM100.00 😎😎😎. Still waiting announcement from Maybank. Maybank M2C and Ikhwan 🤔🤔🤔.

If I were you I will cancel the 2 card. The reason being that although Amex gives pretty good benefit but then most spending needs to happen on weekends plus Amex is not widely accepted in Malaysia compared to Visa or Master. In fact I'm super pissed with Maybank Amex as 99% of the time when I use it outside of Malaysia transaction always not succeeded. And I travel a lot and most of the time not in Malaysia

When I swipe my Ikhwan it will work on the same terminal. I have Maybank2 plat, Ikhwan Plat and also Barcelona.

Depending on how the SST is going to be charged I might just only keep my Barcelona coz at least 2% CB is confirmed and not limited to weekend spending and 2 months in a year it become 10%. Just my 2 cents

Bro. Wonder why you able to get the maybank2premier? Assuming ur annual income is around 60k after add up bonus, it's quite far from the 120k requirement from m2p

My income is 9k per month with extra commision yearly yet whenever I pass by cc stall and request from m2p they normally say I can't pass ask me either dont apply or send income tax if got commision . I currently holding m2platinum and barcelona.

I thought maybank is strict ? 60k is pretty far from requirement

may i check if i apply for eazy installment. the weekend 5% cash back will be calculated based on the total amount purchase or based on the 6 months installment?

so we still not sure maybank will charge us RM50 total for this 2 cards?

nothing is for sure until 1 sept

that would be too late to cut the card...
