read first post, confirmed with CS. It will not count as part of the retail spending.

I second this, myself and my sister also got credited at different timing.

Mine slightly longer at 5 days for 5.5k, but considering that Maybank has been quite consistent, I'd like to think of it as a good start. Hopefully they don't screw this up, credit card benefits has been very very saddening these days.


Try to contact Shopee CS to see if they could help remove any "cache" or "failed attempts" to add the card for your Shopee account if there's any (to prevent system from detecting you already added the card, and left in pending state while you have not), then try again.

Could be Mbb server reroute fail as well..

Call Maybank CS to set your SMS alert to RM1. But I am not sure whether they still allow this or not, but mine still receiving both Secure2u pings and also RM1 SMS trx.

Definitely do not, I repeat, DO NOT include any of your PII (personally identifiable information) in your recording.

I would suggest you to try on different device / different network to see if it resolves your issue. Try also check if you have pop-up blocker on or not as well.

If you successfully amended the phone number to account "A" in both Shopee and MBB system, then the next cycle will go to account "A".

But the past credited ones will not go to A. Whether you can transfer or not you need to check with shopee.

Give it a few hours / a day to refresh maybe its credited in different micro-phases

If still don't have, its time to contact CS.

Haihs similar treatment, will get back but can't offer simple solution..

For me I just be nice to CS and offer whatsoever information I can for them, get them to pity and help me, hopefully.

Yes, Deals, Top up and bills are considered under MCC code compared to FnB

Top ups can be under 4816 etc
Whereas Fnb 5812, 5813 etc
Therefore vouchers can be different as well, depending on what MCC code the merchant is assigned to during signup
*Shopee should be marketplace/onine mall, 5311


Do take note that RM300 is for retail spending, if you use to top up ur shopee pay then it will not count.

I think MBB, in describing what is 'retail' to them is vague. As I have seen some online shopping qualified as 'retail' transaction; whereas some was listed as 'online' transaction. But to be safe, I would say its offline (pin / wave) transactions that are not service based i.e. PTPTN / bills etc.

At the moment it seems that the card is poorly organized and lack of support and coordination between MBB and Shopee, so I'd say if their main feature also can't be conveyed properly; probably should stay away unless Shopee is your main driver (i.e. for Shopee coins etc).

Personally, I am quite disappointed as this card seemed to be promising at first considering that this is a new co-brand card by MBB. But after so much hassle and fifofifo with Shopee and MBB CS, I can't say I'm very happy with the card at the moment. But will be keeping them for now, use other cards unless they start revising benefits again.

At this point, the service I received from Amex's Charge card makes the card look even more appealing =="

I think that's a viable option, but I am not sure how the outlook would look like since I didn't reserve any posts, unless I sandwich it between past replies to mod hahaha! But I'm open to suggestions.

That aside, its concerning how MBB keeps coming up with new co-brand cards that are not well thought out. On top of that, the benefits are ... disappointing. It will be appealing to me if Grab has good point redeem rates, PLUS MBB ALLOWS transactions over Grab to be considered as a part of point earnings / cashbacks.

Agreed. At this point I am just keeping it until the next time I'm being charged, unless it will impact my CL then that's another story.

Alrighties, I shall get some preparation done and propose it to mod tmr !

Any mods around that can let me know if this is a good to go? Or would be better for another thread specifically for this new Grab x MBB cc?

Alright got it, I shall rename the title of this thread and get some contents up the soonest.

Hmmmm, I certainly do hope so. Especially when its possible that the launch of this Grab x MBB cc will further cannibalize their Shopee card if it's benefits / support is still underwhelming.

I think after a year you'll see that this card removed from their line up (taking into consideration the stats / benefits remain the same)

With another OPR cut looming, I can only wish for better days.

Cool, if that's the case, I'll add double dipping into the post as well later on. May I include your calculation as per above in the post?

That's still some way to go.. hopefully the end of moratorium won't lead to an awful increase of NPL, subsequently reducing profit for MBB then less likely to improve benefits. Hahaha maybe its just me wondering if all these are interlinked one way another.


Grab points can also convert to KrisFlyer airmiles... hmm hmmm hmm... that's interesting for me...

Thank you, shall update once I'm done XD

Do you have any arrears recently? Maybe a quick look at CCRIS can tell you more.

Hmmm, as this card is mainly for Grab usage, I would say this card I will only specifically use for Grab related payments.

Krisflyer is another option for me here

Let me summarize my thoughts in next post.

So far I did a little bit of research on this new Grab card, here's what I would consider:

1. If I only hold MBB Amex 2 card (and cancelled the Master/Visa) / AMEX cards, then this card can be alternative for me.
- Due to the fact that there's Maybank Promo for Lazada/Shopee that only accepts Visa/Master.
> The Mastercard that comes with the 2 card is rubbish btw. So I cancelled it and this could be its replacement instead.

2. Actually I find that Grab is quite useful, Speedmart accepts them, many of the merchants (eateries such as Go Noodle, Pan Mee / KFC / Baskin Robbin / etc) that I frequent, and also some online websites (Kaodim / Pet Shop/ etc), therefore earning the points can be a breeze for me as compared to Boost / TnG.
- Boost and TnG each offers their own benefits (Boost coin / Cashback for TnG), and may have better acceptance, but if I were to consider wholesomeness, Grab seems to be all in 1 app for me (include GrabFood / GrabCar).
- Sometimes when I reload my Grab, I need to think which card to reload with, cuz not all has points / cashback, and I don't know whether they will be entitled or not cuz tracking them sometimes is a hassle for me. With this card, I know it will be entitled for points, no need think much.

3. This points can convert into Krisflyer miles, good supplement for my Krisflyer Amex.

4. Using this Grab card, encourages me to use Grab more often, hence maintain platinum tier, which for me is another plus.

Overall, I just see myself use Grab more with this card. By default whenever there's all 3 wallet above present in a store, I mostly go with Grab unless my wallet out of money and I am pressured to pay faster hence no time reload lol.
