hey guys,

I got my maybank 2 cards (mastercard + amex) this month.
Wondering if I can cancel the mastercard and keep amex?

My GF in the middle of applying, the staff whatsapp say after 6 months can cancel mastercard and keep the amex. Is it true?

Er, can try to cancel and update us here?

My personal experience:
Got my m2c plat in earlier this month (I already had the amex gold previously); asked for cancellation of m2c mastercard last week, (1st) CS said 'ok will proceed', called up on Friday to follow up and also mentioned 'last time CS said will proceed with cancellation', this (2nd) CS did not query and told me it's still in process according to system. Called up again today to get an update, was informed, after checking by (3rd) CS: 'can't cancel, we understand there was a request for cancellation sent, but rejected by management. Now all m2c CC after 1.9.2018 can't cancel just one card'. Called another (4th) CS afterwards and was told the usual 'now m2c cannot cancel either cards anymore'.

Wondering if anyone else did manage to get their m2c visa/mastercard cancelled post 1.9.2018 (especially if it's applied this year), at least some sharing would allow others to know that it can still be cancelled but depending on the CS..

Managed to cancel both gold visa / Amex and visa plat m2c.

Done it in mid Feb. Was offered plat cards. Not sure if this makes a difference. Just signed an upgrade form and someone called to verify.

Points were all transferred to visa infinite.

Thanks. But I'd like to clarify, were your m2c Platinum CCs approved before 1.9.2018? Or just this year?

Eh, you mean you got your m2c plat this month and managed to cancel the m2c visa plat? By calling the normal CS line or the plat CS line?

Oh ya. Short conclusion is: Ended up I can only cancel both or keep both.

Long story: I followed up with 3 calls which were handled by 3 different people. First 2 mentioned to me that they would expedite and they could cancel instantly if the MasterCard was activated already during the time (which made me felt like cancellation would be successful).

Last person whom called me... ended telling it was not possible and there was notice at my cancellation request stating application was after Sept’18.

My experience is the same as yours. However i feel there's still inconsistencies in their position on this.. Can still try, though chances may be slim..

Gave the instruction at 1U card centre.

she wrote the instructions on the form on Saturday. Paid everything on Friday (balance shown as 0.)

Tuesday received a call to confirm upgrade + cancellation + transfer of points

Friday got the card. Test charge old card on Saturday- transaction declined. (assumed cancelled- all points reflected on amex plat)

Try online to find out card validity.

I see. Wow thanks for the info.. Guess we can only try our luck to cancel the m2c visa/mastercard CC sweat.gif (without them giving the standard can't cancel either one card answer)..
