I think SMS is only sent after transaction is through. Did they manage to stop the transaction or did it went through before they block it?

Oh if you're referring to OTP, then what I think is, the merchant/payment gateway did not implement that. That day I pay for some exam to some US company also straight went through without OTP. I got an SMS that $$$ was charged to my card though. Another bank's card.

Only thing I cannot remember is whether I received OTP when I bought from eBay and Amazon a couple of years back.

Yeah, but not able to use in Malaysia right?
Even PayPass is already a struggle, the most successful is PayWave.

Well, hopefully it has improved. QM = PBB Quantum MC? I haven't got yet, already received approval SMS two days ago. I should receive on tomorrow.
I shall try again to see if it's not selective like previously which these terminals favoured PayWave.

What's the point when AmEx contactless may not be accepted anywhere yet?

It would be very helpful for us, if you can post your photo of your new Maybank 2 Card American Express card (with your card numbers hidden) here.

Thank you. 

Are you serious about MBB being inefficient? It is very efficient. You may get your card tomorrow or Friday.

The thing is cybpsych for got his card on yesterday via mail after requested on Friday's night. Two working days, still not efficient?
Well, maybe other state, add another 1-2 days?

5 days is inefficient? I have experienced worse from other banks.

Your post definitely sounded like a complaint (as multiple replies show), and it's also an argument against another post. So this post does not make sense at all.

Last time, when I applied for Maybank FC Barcelona Visa Credit Card, it was a extremely frustrating experience dealing with Poslaju. Yeah, I know that this is the Maybank 2 Card thread, but my point is about the rather inefficient Poslaju service.
Maybank was very efficient in quickly preparing and embossing the credit card, and sent out the cards from Maybank Headquarters within 1 working day.
All hard work done by Maybank was literally wasted by inefficient Poslaju, as my Credit Card was kept at a PosLaju Collection Centre for almost a week. 
Upon getting the tracking number from Maybank CS and checking the status in PosLaju Track and Trace website, it was stated that Poslaju did attempt to come to my house to send my credit card, but the postman cancelled the delivery since there was no one at home. The truth is that my family members were at the home the whole time, and they did not hear any knock or sound from any incoming postman. So, the postman could have "faked" the delivery status of my credit card, in PosLaju Track and Trace website.
When I collected my credit card in the PosLaju Collection Centre, the postman claimed that it was "standard operating procedure" NOT to leave a document collection card in my mailbox, since the document is actually a credit card. It was a security measure implemented by PosLaju.
I replied that the postman could have left a document collection card in my mailbox, and discreetly ticked "document" instead of "credit card" on the document collection card, as a form of security measure. At least that way, I would knew that I have a pending Poslaju envelope waiting to be collected, rather than being left in a state of unknown.
The postman in PosLaju Collection Centre said that if the postman knew it was a credit card, they would NOT deliver the credit card to customer's home, and instead wants the customer to come personally to PosLaju Collection Centre to collect the credit card. No document collection card in my mailbox, no one calling my handphone to notify me, and worst of all, the credit card may be resent to Maybank Headquarters, if I did not get the tracking number from Maybank CS.
In the end, what is the role of Poslaju, after being hired by Maybank to deliver credit card? No one knows for sure. 

it's definitely NOT an official MBB statement!

& the guy did mention that it's up to management's discretion.

however, seeing that other banks are willing to waive, I don't see why MBB can't do the same.

anyway, MBB staff said that the 10,000 TP is worth RM20 and we get a "discount" of RM5! LOL 

Unless it is new flow right now? I upgraded mine last year September. And i got 4 cards till December then only i called to cancel my m2u gold. The reason was my monthly insurance premium charged to my gold, so after filing some documents to change card, then finally saw the premium charged to my platinum then only i called to cancel my gold.

Again the silly thing, CS is like robotic reply:
“Can I know why you want to cancel your m2c gold?”

I told him obviously I already got the platinum, that is why I want to cancel the gold. 🤣

One noob question, if buy flight ticket using Amex, then loss/delay baggage or flight issue, how to claim and who to report to?

This one doesn't carry MBB logo.
Even it has rewards points, it'll be MR (AMEX) points.

This is a very good card with 1% unlimited cash back.
Imagine when you load that to Boost up to RM 6k.

I'm not aware of this.
From which source you get this information from?
I'm interestingly wanting to know too.

U still can pay direct from their apps/site.. Eg. myTNB, IWK, Cukai pintu and etc.
It's not the end yet. lol
