no benefits from maybank. however, visa or mastercard may have their own specific promotion.

up to you to decide. if you currently have many visa cards around, perhaps getting mastercard instead.

You can ask to cancel 1 of it when you are being charged with rm25 sst fees.

If you stay in Kuching...
(1) PB Quantum MasterCard - spend RM600 at SarawakPay App only to get RM30 monthly CB. Then use Sarawak Pay at supermarkets, KFC (Sarawak outlets only) Pizza Hut (Sarawak outlets only), Guardian (Sarawak outlets only), Petronas (Sarawak outlets only), Sesco, KWB etc.
(2) M2 Amex - Unifi, Aeon, Shell, Petronas, Parkson, Guardian, Watson's, CS Mini Market, a lot of places in Kuching don't accept Amex (including Everrise, H&L, Everwin, DValley). 5% CB on weekend transactions only.
(3) PB Quantum Visa - This card can be more useful than M2 Amex, 5% CB using paywave, can be used at a lot of supermarkets, dining places.
Air Selangor bill can be paid at Boost App, TouchNGo ewallet App, Lazada, Shopee, e-pay.com.my, via FPX / Maybank2U / Maybank Savings account / Visa or MasterCard (not all). Amex not accepted.

You mean when apply, you got two card, have to pay rm25 each as sst regardless whether you cut off visa card and remain amex later stage, as here alot mention they cut off the visa/master and remain the amex only.

On the topic of CL, I just want some insights or wise words from fellow forumers here.

My current CL is very close to my current gross salary already (2-3 years back I applied for MBB2G and never requested to up CL).

Question is, should I request for an increase of CL?

I don't spend even near my CL. Only like very rare occasions I would need to use more than half of my CL.
I'm going overseas soon and I plan to request for a temporary increase of CL (maybe just an extra k or 2) but since as above, why not request for a permanent CL increase right?
I do have other CCs but MBB2G is my main and other CCs, I don't really use them (just to squeeze the perks of other cards).

So fellow forumers, temporary or permanent request is better? Greatly appreciate if the answer comes with some explanations/reasonings. 

Want to apply for Maybank 2 Gold Cards. Should I apply through Maybank website or better go directly?

Yes.

Maybank Manchester United Visa Infinite

But rewards/cashback % not as good as M2 AMEX Gold/Platinum

----
Alternatively, surrender all your Maybank CC and CONVERT the credit limit to Islamic Banking (Maybank Islamic)

Visa-i : 8% CB at Petronas, on SAT and SUN.
MasterCard -i: 5% CB at Petrol stations and grocery shops (supermarket), on FRI and SAT.
Amex-i : 8% CB at online transactions (effective 12/12/22)

Use M2 Amex to buy TNG PINs at Lazada if available, or pay Shopee's SPaylater debt.

Use TNG wallet at any Duitnow QR merchants, so 5% savings.

Use SPayLater to pay at some ShopeePay merchants, 1.5% surcharge, so end up around 3.5% savings, better than most of credit cards.

did you try to buy RM 1000 worth of credits every month to max out the cash back? and can we withdraw back into bank account if we top up with pin?
