Link

http://www1.uob.com.my/webpages/p_cards_credit_One.htm

The most i surprise is Giant got 4% rebate, for Citibank co-brand card (Giant VISA) it only gives the card user 2%, but UOB give more than that, also for Tesco, HLB gives 3% cash rebate only.

Need some helps here

I saw Maybank offer AMEX Credit Card and Charge Card.
Just want to know more about the charge card part, any Maybank charge card user please help

1) How was the design for the Maybank AMEX charge card? Is it a soldier inside a green card, or a Yellow Card that only have the "AMEX" small sign at the right bottom of the card? I ask the staff inside Maybank, she seems also not clear about the design. Personal prefered the "Soldier in Green"....

2) For the Membership Reward Programme as stated as the brochure, we have to pay RM 25 for each year right? May i know is the point earned consider as Maybank Treatpoints or it is other type of rewards point, if it is Treatpoint it will be great for me as i can use the Petronas VISA + this AMEX to redeem the gift faster, hehe...


Thanks for the helps..

Want to get 1 American Express Card since last week,after thinking i would like to take a Credit Card instead of Charge Card to speed up my point earning.

There are 2 choices for Maybank AMEX Credit Card
1) Ikhwan Maybank AMEX
2) Maybankard Classic AMEX Card

Want to know more about the Maybankard Classic AMEX Card.

For the Treatpoint earning, is that 2x for Maybankard Classic AMEX Card?

Thanks

Thanks Cuteboboi, you answered most of my doubt.

Actually just decided to get the AMEX Ikhwan, but afraid of something is can't buy by using it. (Wine, Pork, Gamble, perhaps i not meant to, but i m afraid 1 day if i m out of cash and need to buy it, then it will be my worst nightmare)

Thanks for the answer, i try to apply for Maybankard Classic Credit Card now smile.gif

You are welcomed. My experience using MBB Amex Credit Card for >2 years:
1) No problem swipe local or overseas at all (Asean & Europe), as long as they accept Amex  icon_rolleyes.gif
2) Sometimes local shops have problem swipe/approval MBB Amex Credit card, but no problem with MBB Visa/Mastercard.  doh.gif 
3) No issue with credit limit, as it is more than enough to use.
4) CL is combined with other MBB Visa/Mastercard. MBB Amex Charge Card CL is separate though.
5) Recognition/status/class/etc - I don't care, as long as can swipe and collect MORE points than normal.
6) Benefits - not much. I seldom use for promotion or airport lounge or etc. I don't like to hang around airport for too long. 1-2 hours for shopping/walk around/wash eyes  rolleyes.gif

Coming back to Ikhwan/basic Amex credit card, I read above posting Ikhwan is rebate % ? Do a simple calculation, nowadays MBB TP 8500 = RM50 voucher, which means need to spend 8500/2 = RM4,250 to get RM50 voucher.

If Ikhwan is 2% rebate, spend RM4,250 x 2% = RM85 !!! More worth it.

To make things complicated a bit  tongue.gif  , my MBB Petronas is 5x TP, which is 8500/5 = RM1,700 to get RM50 voucher.
If Ikhwan rebate 2% @RM1,700 = RM34 only. Means more worthwhile to use MBB Petronas CC at Petronas station, rather than MBB Amex.  sweat.gif

BTW, your signature is Hong Leong Bank CC application ?  rclxub.gif  tongue.gif

Yes, the 2% cash rebate is quite interesting but not all of the purchase we will get 2%, for example Giant VISA, 2% on Giant and others 0.5% only. By the way, AMEX can get 2x on all purchase and it can be accumulate together with other Credit Card/ Savings/ Current Account in M2U (that's i interested). Just want to get the point grow faster, coz MBB Petronas VISA get 1 TP for other purchase outside Petronas, the AMEX will substitude at this part smile.gif

Ya, i m agent for Hong Leong Bank, thanks for the answers smile.gif

Just get my Maybank AMEX card, wanna ask something here, did you guys call to the Maybank and ask them waive your AMEX annual fee and how they response?

I heard nowsaday not all of the bank will waive your annual fee when you call to them (eg Citibank Co-brand card), but i wish the bank can waive for me instead of using my hard earning treat point to pay for the annual fee (10000 points = RM 5000 spend on the AMEX card)

Mine one is Maybank AMEX Classic

Hope somebody helps, thank you

I pumped Petronas yesterday (4/1/2009). Today check MBB online is not there yet. Maybe wait another 12-24 hours and we'll know whether 5x TP is still valid or not.

BTW, pumped on 31/12/2008 (transact) and posted online 1/1/2009, still 5x TP.

Hi cuteboiboi and zenquix,

Now still got 5x TP for MBB Petronas or not? Will use AMEX to buy petrol if it is 1x TP....

wow, Alliance Bank Younique card is cool man!! You can design your own picture and let the bank print it on the card, your card will be the only exclusive card (perhaps if not using any famous picture)

By the way, 3 choice to choose
2% Cash rebate
2x Reward Points
1/2 of the Interest (9%)

So the reward point and interest got any conditions? since there is a minimum spending range for cash rebate to entitle 2% rebate...

Alliance Bank's You:niques cash rebate rate is even better than Public Bank's.

Ya, agree with you, for high volume shopper, it is a good card as 2% cash rebate is a consider fair discount for your purchase.

QUOTE(Asus @ Jan 12 2009, 02:17 PM)
regarding the Alliance Bank's You:niques...the 9% interest charged is it applicable from the 1st month we use the card? or need for few month...
*
No, it charged 9% p.a. when you have any carried forward balance from previous month. Normally the bank charge 18% p.a interest (12% for AmBank True Card)

Hope this helps smile.gif

Maybank branches are terrible service. Tried few times to request for upgrade credit limit..either they request for salary slip/other bank statements latest 3 months since salary not bank-in to Maybank...and EA Form..but no news at all. Maybe the staff there too lazy to submit or lost my forms. Called the card centre to check found out NO REQUEST been made all the while. Made me wasted few weeks waiting only. Finally called up the card centre customer service hotline and the CSO actually do it thru the phone for me ohmy.gif He said no documents required because im holding their card more than 24 months drool.gif 1 day later credit limit increased already...fast service thumbup.gif

Share with you guys my experience here:

I applied for Petronas Supplementary Card, I call the CS after 5 weeks of submission, the officer check there is no submission and ask me to re-submit again, i'm disapointed with their service so i didn't do so. Then you guess what? After 1 day, i receive the card!

Maybe Maybank love to give people surprise?
