Just realised about the changes to M2C now and I'm kind of in a panic since it's closed to month end again (meaning bills to pay!).

Payments from my M2C AMEX are for:-

1) TNB (about RM300-400)
2) Astro (about RM200-300)
3) Unifi (about RM150)

I've roughly read about reloadind the money to Boost using AMEX (on weekend?) then pay the bills from Boost on any day from now onwards to earn 5% cashback from M2C AMEX?

Please correct me if I'm wrong or suggest me alternative/best way to work around the revision. Thank you.

p/s: I do have PBB Quantum MasterCard as well and was planning to terminate it.

Thanks for the prompt response.

What a hassle now, especially I cancelled my UOC YOLO a few years back when M2C made its return.

So, to recap, just pay Unifi, Astro, Digi & Maxis as usual during weekends using AMEX.

For TNB, IWK and PBA, just for the sake of simplicity, I can reload BigPay with my PBB Quantum MasterCard any day (online transactions).

By doing the above, I will be able to maximise the cash back from my CCs?

Ahh.. I forgot I've been paying IWK and PBA using my savings account. Sounds like too much work for these 2.

Thanks for your valuable advice! Really appreciate it.

I've just discovered about BigPay and just downloaded the app to apply for the prepaid card

Hopefully every thing can be sort out before my next payment cycle, which is normally 1st week of a new month

PBA is water supply for Penang state.

Don't really want to download another App if the cashback from using AMEX for Unifi and Astro still valid.

huh, reload to BigPay using AMEX on weekend will give CB?

Is it confirmed?

So is it confirmed that bill payment (i.e. TNB) via Shopee with AMEX will earn CB now?

What do you mean by indirectly?

Can you please elaborate further?

I seldom use Shopee and I currently reload BigPay with PBB Quantum (Mastercard) for TNB payment to earn the cash back

I have the activation pending on website but didn’t receive the cards yet smh

1) April 22. I've contact the CS last month and they confirmed that my new cards are coming.

2) Under new UI, go to My Accounts, then under individual tab(s), you will see the status "pending new card activation". Then tap in the triple dots on the top right of the tab for activation (look for it in the long list of actions available).

Is AMEX payment to TNB via TNB app entitled for cash back?

read that somehow for PBB Quantum Mastercard, it's valid for cash back.

I cancelled it before MCO IIRC .. but how far back (whether in 2018 or 2019) I cant remember

Is it still worth holding the AMEX card now?

Was thinking to switch to KrisFlyer AMEX instead

Main bulk of the spendings are utilities that not entitled to cash back nowadays

Sad owner of FCB and AMEX card

is there a thread for Maybank VI? couldn't find it

Is it worth to dump M2C Amex & FCB and go all in for Maybank VI? Feels like it's better than Maybank World Mastercard which only awards airmiles. At least treat points can be redeemed for cash.

I'm not getting alot cash back from both cards, less than RM30 per month usually. However, I'm also not a frequent traveler but thought the treatpoints from VI is more flexible for miles redemption from different alliance + free lounge access, which comes in RM800 annual fee from 2nd year onwards.

if payment for utilities fall on weekend, does it means we dun get 1x TP as well?

just to confirm since TP is on weekdays and cash back is on weekend.

might want to go PBB Islamic Visa Platinum for TNG reload

then from there pay utilities ... 4% - 1% is still better than RHB Shell I guess since no tiered spending

btw for AMEX, Maxis, Unifi and Astro all no issues for cash back right?

thanks for confirming.

diff bank diff definition I oso pening sometimes

If I pay water / sewerage bill through Lazada during weekend, I still can earn 5% cash back right? Would like to confirm on this.

Any workaround for TNB that I'm not aware of, since TNB is not an option on Lazada / Grab / Shopee?
