Hello, I went to maybank and asked for upgrade to platinum. Luckily I got it. But it seems my gold cards are active too. Does this mean I can still get cashback for the gold, in addition to the plat amex cards?

I was thinking I should keep both and just offset the sst fees for both sets using points & cashback.

No, you shouldn't keep the Gold cards anymore. Cash back is only one RM 50 per month even if you have Gold and Plat, yet SST will be charged to 4 cards.

Thanx for the heads up

Hi, you just masuk and request for update kah? haha

Ya, I asked if can do upgrade. They said I had slim chance, since didn’t bring payslip, but can try. Went in 11am, got email to pick up the plat cards at 3.30pm.

are you sure its still active? have u try and swipe or pay anything to proof it? or it just stuck there in your online banking.

I just tried to top up prepaid card after reading ur post. It went through, so I guess it's still active.

Edit: My mistake, it was a different card. I'll try to swipe something with the gold cards and give an update later.

Now that the e-wallet method has been plugged, any other loophole to pay utilities using the maybank cards?

Use back credit card to pay bills and retail transactions.

Though you won't use Amex / FCB VS / Boost to pay SESCo directly. You may consider SarawakPay (online banking to topup only) or use FCB VS to Paybillsmalaysia.com (hopefully it will not be treated as an e-wallet by Maybank, the platform is not an e-wallet but Siliconnet Technology is operating SarawakPay) to pay SESCo bills.

Any alternatives to pay SESB?

I was checking out the pie chart for my cards in modern M2U. From the category breakdown, it seems that:
- Boost App top-up is under (Telecommunications) [Top-up full using AMEX]
- BigPay top-up (Financial Services) [Top-up full using Maybank FCB]
- Agoda (Transportation) [AMEX]
- Astro (Utilities) [AMEX]
- Netflix (Utilities) [AMEX]

These are all based on the amount I paid to the services. They all line-up together. FCB only used to top-up BigPay. I only use Amex for Agoda, Astro & Netflix autodeduct, for cashback, all to Boost App. The breakdowns should be accurate.

Anything under Financial Services will be for e-wallets, right. Boost App is under Telecommunications though. So, maybe can still earn cashback from it?

Some say Unifi/Astro still can earn cashback, but Astro seems to be listed as Utilities...hmm.

Unless Maybank puts them in the categories, but still able to differentiate what is what within that category.

Recently Boost has been moved to the "Others" category instead. For all we know, Maybank might be identifying eWallet transactions via name instead of MCC or category. All we can do now is just to speculate & the final results will be made known only on 2-AUG.
*
Oh, I see. My Boost top-up was in the beginning of the month, so if they moved it to Others already, then yeah, maybe they already thought how to close the loophole.

Will see what category it is again when I top up Boost before 8th Jul.

Would paying using the e-pay website work too? Or would this only work if you use the terminals in petrol stations/grocery stores? https://www.e-pay.com.my/shop/category/2/bi...ment-collection

Sorry if this was asked before, but after searching I didn't come across any info.

If I use M2U to pay SESB (electricity) using AMEX (or visa barcelona), will I get cashback? I've been using Shopee but sometimes Shopee is a hassle to use for me.

Thanks!

Update: My bad, seems I have forgotten no cashback if using M2U. Looks like still have to use Shopee.

Do you what is the MCC for SESB?

If it fall under utilities (4900) or government, then no cash back will be granted.

How do I look for the MCC code to make sure?

Update: I looked past previous pdf receipts, and it says "Payee Code: 1131". Is that it?

Make a test transaction and call CS to find out.

From MCC thread, it was listed as 4900 Utilities using OCBC Internet Banking portal.

Oh ok thanks!

Does the M2card platinum amex have paywave? Mine doesn't have it.

Can email them to request for new card if amex platinum has paywave? Any fees?

I just paid electricity bill today (Saturday) on the Lazada app using Amex. Can get the 5% weekend cashback this way, right?

I've used the whole quota to pay for bills on Lazada on a Saturday last month. Today I checked I only got rm8 cashback, which I think is for a Shoppee bill payment.

Amex doesn't give cashback for utility bills paid in Lazada anymore?
If I get the same amount or none next month, then I guess it will be confirmed...
