Updated Feature of the Maybank myimpact Credit Cards/-i
11 December 2025

https://www.maybank2u.com.my/maybank2u/mala...re-updates.page

Dear Valued Cardmembers,

Effective, 1 January 2026, the following updates will apply to your Maybank myimpact Credit Cards/-i:

>> The 8% Cash Back on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)-friendly categories will transition from a promotional offer to a permanent feature, maintaining the same monthly cap of RM35, while the 0.5% Cash Back on contactless spend remains unchanged with the same monthly limit; and

>> TreatsPoints will no longer be awarded for new spending. All previously earned TreatsPoints remain valid until their respective expiry dates; and

>> The minimum annual income requirement for the Maybank Islamic myimpact Ikhwan Mastercard Platinum-i will be revised from RM36,000 to RM24,000 per annum.

All existing product benefits, including no annual fee, no late payment charge, and no compounding interest/ profit, remain unchanged.
**This list is by no means exhaustive but shows the sample merchants
**No cash back will be awarded when spending at these merchant categories: Petrol, Airlines, Government Bodies / JomPAY, E-wallet Reloads, Cash Advance, or Utilities.

likely yes. and probably low requirements too.

For Grab, cb for all grab services including grabfood, grab paylater?

Still thinking if its worth paying another RM25 yearly if the covered areas are also covered by other cards:

Commuter Rail and Bus: seldom utilize unless going to airport for travel. Rapidkl usually will buy MY50 so need to have the credit inside TNG Card.
Ride Hailing: also seldom use grab car, even if need to can be covered by Ikhwan online 8%
EV Charging: Nil
Education: Nil
Sports and Pharma: This is good.
Merchandise Store: Nil

I think the sports and pharma will be the one people will target.

pharma is exactly what i'm targeting currently using Affin duo+ VS for 3%. myimpact giving 5% consider good.
