Claim your Maybank Treat Points directly to the Merchant

In the latest treat point brochure by Maybank, a RM50 voucher from Metrojaya can be exchanged with 10,000 points. I was willing to make such a transaction. Nevertheless, I was very lucky that the lady from Maybank advised me that it would be faster if I could go directly to Metrojaya to make the exchange. I took her advice.

When I got to Metrojaya, I was pleasantly surprised that the conversion rate was RM50 for every 8,000 points! That is an increase of 25%. Originally I only though of getting RM150 but instead I got RM200.

I then realized why the different in value. If you were to claim via Maybank direct, they will incur costs to get it and send the stuff to you. Therefore they want to change for that service.

Moral of the story – Claim directly to get the best value.

I am not sure about credit cards from other banks but I guess it should be similar.

I am not sure about that. You may have to check with Maybank.

I guess, this can only happen with big outlets. I also know that Hock Seng Lee Electrical outlets also provide the service.
