Redemption of Maybank treatpoints

Many of you all might not know that Maybank have actually 4 On-the-spot redemption centres that have a much better rates if you want to redeem your points for cash vouchers. Below are the 4 Maybank Card Centre in Klang Valley.

Most of them are in major shopping malls such as Mid Valley, KLCC and of course my favorite 1 Utama. Most of you have read that me and my gf moved to Singapore for work. Therefore we went to redeem all of our Maybank points to do some shopping.

Back to topic, most of us normally does online redemption through Maybank treats catalogue and therefore might lose out in some really good deals. Let me just make a very good example here. As many of us redeem Aeon vouchers. According to treats catalogue, you will need 46,400 TP to redeem RM100 vouchers. I have made a snapshot of the amount of points required for RM100 Aeon vouchers.

However if you redeem through on-the-spot Maybank Card Centres, you will require a lower amount of points for the same amount of vouchers. 40,000 TP for RM100 Aeon vouchers to be exact. That's more than 10% discount and it's a really good deal! With Maybank2Card Amex, you will only require RM8000 to redeem RM100 Aeon Vouchers. That's actually additional of any discount you obtained in store. I took a picture of the rates when i redeem my points.

In conclusion, please don't be lazy. Go redeem your points in one of the Maybank Card Centres and enjoy more discounts!

Revision of treat points earnings from Maybank

Hey guys, many of you all should know about the revision of treat points earnings and also the 5% cash back changes.

Some of this news wasn't new as Maybank had reduced their 5% cash back to only weekend dining starting 1st August 2015.

This is the snapshot from Maybank website and shows that currently the 5% only applicable to Weekend Dining Cashback.

That's not all guys, starting 15th April 2016 Maybank will revise some of their treat points earnings. This is mainly affected Maybank 2 Card users as some of their items will revise to only 1x points instead of the usual 5x points on American Express card.

Revise in Maybank Treat Points and Membership Rewards Points

This would be blogging on something different. I am from Malaysia and this post is mainly in relation to people from Malaysia. I really sorry for my oversea readers. Please bear with me for this one post. As some of you all had know, our national bank (Malayan Bank in short we call it as "Maybank") will be revising it's treat points and membership rewards points. 

Just a word of caution, this post is not to promote or selling any Maybank card I am just trying to spread this important news. 

Effective from 1st of March 1st of May2015, Maybank will be revising redemption rate from 250TP=RM1 to 400TP=RM1. Maybank has extended their revision date 2 months later!

This is a snapshot from Maybank website itself. 

Trying to make a comparison on the before and after the revision:-

previously was 25,000 TP = RM100

revision will be 40,000 TP = RM100

Imagine you have 160,000 TP, you will be able to redeem RM640 Aeon vouchers or any other vouchers. However in revision, with 160,000 TP will only enable you to redeem RM400 Aeon vouchers starting 1st March 2015.
