10k TP? even lower when i asked few days ago, 12.5k TP

10k TP, spending with m2c amex for stuffs that gives 5xTP seems doable.

anybody knows if can transfer my installment on amex to another card say barcelona?

Happy holiday! Just called to chat with MB CS and enquire the SST charges for M2C and confirmed that each card will be charged RM25 with 2 different call agents.

Funny why they would quote different points

yearly spending to get 20k treatpoints doesnt seem too bad yeah.

well rm2k for 10k tps if you use amex all the way

guess its confirmed then. Did you enquire about any chance of waiving? eg using treatpoints

No, never bother to ask. I enquire to cancel the card but was asked to keep it first until my anniversary month as now still won't be charged until my anniversary month. Regarding TPs, if i cancel and have no MBB cards at all, will the points disappear? Or it will transfer to my banking TreatsPoints?

I believe the TPs follow the cards, as according to the statements, each cards owns their TPs, so if you cancel your card, TPs goes away with it. But why not use the TPs to waive the card SST fee? Mines due in Oct

someone do correct me if I'm wrong.

I am thinking to apply FCB and transfer the TPs in M2C but worry application rejected cus previously applied and got rejected. How / Where to redeem TPs for SST? Let's see how everything before the anniversary month only decide to cancel or not

They said to just give them a call on the toll free line and request for it, to use TPs to waive SST fee.

so if 2 cards, means need to spend min rm4k to waive rm50

**gulp**

Maybank 2 Cards plus the supplementary cards...I guess I'm looking at RM100 Annual SST fee.

Wondering if it's worth switching to Petronas Platinum or FCB.

Thoughts?

FCB doesn't carry TP

not sure if it can be transferred into from other cards.

depends on your needs. Maybank FCB only 2% (except May and August). Petronas visa ikhwan is 8% cashback on every weekends.

Yeah, that's right. I think I will first wait for announcement from Maybank before taking action.

I think the PETRONAS and PETRONAS IKHWAN card cashbacks and treat poings are only for weekends. I could be (and am probably) wrong.

Thinking about forking out RM100 is inducing knee-jerk reactions but considering cash back, treat points and interest from deposits, it all more than covers it and may be RM50 a year is probably insignificant.

for me it's simple. if you get cashback >RM25 per year, then keep it as you will still get more. But those dormant cards, I'd recommend to cancel them..

Under the Service Tax (Rate of Tax) Order 2018, Lim said RM25 will be charged for each principal credit card or charge card on the date it is activated or the date it is renewed, and every time the card is renewed.

Whoever can activate online, I think better try activate it online by midnite.

just pay it lo.. rm25 per year is not that expensive provided we got benefits from cc

Using TP to redemption is good.
At least 10k points just rm1k with amex.

Quite easy to get that.
