I used M2C since 2011. Last year called CS & they allowed to cancel.
But later they offered special discount rate to deduct from treatpoint (if not mistaken 50% less points), so I've agreed to retain.
In fact I didn't use MC, only use Amex & other bank CC (UOB, PBB & Citibank).

May I know anyone used to try to pay GE insurance premium online using Amex on Saturday?
Is it eligible for 5% cash back?

Every month has to pay nearly RM400 GE premium.

Thanx!

Currently is auto debit by GE.
I plan to cancel that credit card & thinking to pay using MBB AMEX (if possible).

I've checked UOB YOLO and PBB Quantum, both no cash back for insurance payment.

Thanks for all replies here.

Update: I saw Maybank MAE App has option to pay GE through AMEX. I will try next week and update here.

UPDATE:
Sorry, it didn't work. If you select MBB AMEX & GE Life, the system will show error message, something like "... this payment is not supported ..."
You can only choose MBB Savings Account to make payment.

I just double check PBB Quantum MasterCard, there is no exclusion for insurance payment.
I will try to make payment next month.

No, ewallet is not eligible for 5% cash back (MBB AMEX).
Please use UOB YOLO Visa for TnG, Grab, Boost etc ewallet top up for 5% cash back.
Then use PBB Quantum MasterCard for BigPay cash back.

T&C subject to change ya!
Up to Nov 2020, above still valid.

Shopee now accept AMEX payment (saw it on 01/12). It's good news for MBB Amex holder.

Wonder whether it's eligible for 5% cash back if you make purchase on weekend (Sat & Sun)?
As I know, ewallet top up is not eligible for cash back (top up ShopeePay). How about direct purchase using Amex?

Debit card is no SST.
Maybank only charge annual fee RM8/year.

In my opinion, BigPay is better than Mae because

#1 No annual fee
#2 Can top up via credit card (Mae top up via bank transfer/ ATM only)

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, I've just called them, they said will replace within 7 days.

Update on Amex Paywave Location (Johor Bahru) to entitle for 10x Treatpoints

1. Aeon Permas Jaya - yes, accept Amex Paywave
2. Tesco Extra Plentong - yes, accept Amex Paywave
3. NSK Pandan - No, as the cashier requests to enter PIN
4. EconSave Permas Jaya - not accept Amex

I have cancelled the MasterCard last year (12/2020).
But in my Maybank2u still showing both cards icon with MasterCard showing "ACCOUNT CLOSED", only Amex is active.
Fyi, I've started using both cards since 2011.

Acceptable @ NSK, Tesco, Aeon, Shopee, Agoda, Expedia, MAS etc

Yes, that's right. Now many e-wallets and other credit cards offer more than 5%.
Last time I spend average RM700-1,000/month on Amex, now hardly to reach RM200.

In my opinion, it's worth to buy additional travel insurance on top of those given by credit card.
Usually I've bought either MSIG or AXA travel insurance (Couple or Family Plan). I used to claim big amount when my flight stuck in Athern, Greece.
From my own experience, travel insurance that bundle with credit card will only cover a basic protection.

Haha... same to me. Usually I spend a lot (using Amex) until last year.

Now,
Use PBB Quantum and Citibank CashBack about 2-3 times a week
Use GrabPay & ShopeePay almost everyday :-)

May I know how you grab ShopeePay 25% coins redemption for Bill Payment?

I guess can't withdraw.
Last time Qatar Airways refunded me to my MBB Amex (if I'm not mistaken around RM3,000), I also used to talk to MBB CS. They asked me just to spend it ...
The problem is, Amex only gives 5% cashback on weekend, so it took me 20 weekends to fully spend it :-(
Usually on weekday I will use Citibank (10% cashback) or PBB Visa (5% cashback).

MBB MC or Amex? If Amex can't withdraw to BigPay. My BigPay did not accept Amex.
Otherwise can spend on Shopee.

I think if same merchant better split to 2 days.

Both weekend & weekday also got 5% bro!
Check here -> https://www.maybank2u.com.my/iwov-resources...ashback_tnc.pdf

Weekend - spend any amount
Weekday - must spend RM1,000 (can accumulate)

Hope this info help ya!

AMEX no cash back for TNB bill payment.
Use PBB Quantum MasterCard and pay through MyTNB website (for 5% Cash Back), else use Citibank for 10% (on 01/06 or 01/07).

Check here > https://www.citibank.com.my/usage/may-utilities2022.pdf
To optimize your chance, make payment on 01/07 (the promotion was started in May till July).

What do you means "No limit except Petrol"?
As I know refill Petrol on weekend is also eligible for 5% Cash back.

Ya, I always use Amex to book on Agoda, you will enjoy extra discount (usually 7%) on top of 5% Cash back.

M2U > if select Amex as payment method, can pay TNB bill?

Bro, insurance will entitle for 1x Point only, not 5% ya...
