QUOTE(ben_ang @ May 7 2019, 11:10 AM) my situation dun hav many place to utilize Amex, so even in 5% getting the full RM50/month is quite hard already, use mostly fuel,unifi & occasion groceries shopping only.  Suggest you visit Finance - Ewallet - Boost Thread to discover something different.

QUOTE(alexwsk @ May 7 2019, 03:20 PM) still ok, just miss 5k TP for weekend spending, hopefully next revision will come in another few years QUOTE(Sumofwhich @ May 7 2019, 03:21 PM) it's okay. More ppl cancelling soon and hope they will reinstate the benefits. Use Amex on Boost for now during weekends? QUOTE(digidigi @ May 7 2019, 03:22 PM) next time in order to offer benefit they need to charge high annual fees 31 December 2020 is the due date set by Bank Negara (Payment Card Reform Framework), most of the card benefits will be revised by then unless more people fall into credit card trap to pay interest.

QUOTE(JuneResources @ May 7 2019, 03:42 PM) Not all the place can use AMEX.. Normally physically outlet can use.. (But of course not ALL). Even through online also issued not lot of merchant accept AMEX. If AMEX can accept Bigpay or Boost, then still have a way to do it.. But just the process to payment need "middle man" (Oooppss.. sorry, is called "Middle card"...) Not understand your statment say 31 Dec 2020 is due date.. You mean end of 2020 must change everything all benefits which set by bank negara? Or you mean after 2020 no more credit card.. Everything is using "Prepaid or debit" card?  In accordance with Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) Payment Card Reform Framework dated 23 December 2014, with effect from 1 January 2021, the CC interchange rate will be reduced to 0.48% (max) only, which was 2-3% in the past (when Treatpoints worth 0.6%) , 1.1% (TP devalued to 0.25-0.3%) in 2015. http://www.bnm.gov.my/guidelines/50_others...m_Framework.pdfThis post has been edited by ClarenceT: May 7 2019, 03:51 PM

No need to think, during weekend, just spend on all categories... now need to check back before swiping my card.  Get HLB Wise card loh RM1000 on Govt and RM1000 on utilities every month to get RM100 CB.

QUOTE(ckweng @ May 8 2019, 01:39 PM) People never learn to trust LYN and prefer to alert bank CS by asking about cashback "loopholes"  Don't complain when you no longer can reap the benefits if TnC is amended again in the future! All the Bigpay transactions and all the Boost transactions (regardless of using any credit cards including from other banks), and all the Amex transactions in Malaysia are exclusively managed by Maybank. So how to hide? We can't manipulate! Of course Maybank will further reduce the benefits in coming months or next year, due to the payment framework by Bank Negara. Not because of increasing activities at Bigpay and Boost, or people asking "silly" questions.

QUOTE(inquiries @ May 8 2019, 02:13 PM) Thanks, but you actually check it through https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3711577, where Boost (MCC 5968) is definitely not under Utilities. By the way, in case if anyone else are curious about GrabPay (MCC 6540), no, it is not under Utilities either. MCC 5968 for Visa if I am not wrong. Different MCC if using Amex. You can find Boost under different categories at M2U's pie-chart.

QUOTE(mytaffeta @ May 8 2019, 03:16 PM) can i just not activate visa to avoid sst charge? You choose a bundled product M2. You still need to pay SST for inactive Visa/MC. You can choose stand-alone Amex, only 1xSST.

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ May 9 2019, 08:26 AM) New card anniversary should follow the approved/issued month why would it anniversary on Nov? New additional cards follow expiry month+year of existing cards as they are sharing 1 credit limit. Easier for the bank to review the credit facility every year.

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ May 9 2019, 12:56 PM) Thats why im confused why he says Amex no CB on weekend because for Govt and Utilities is already no CB regardless weekend or weekdays No. All the while we could get weekend CB from Govt+Utilities, but No TP for govt and 1TP for utilities.
