In conjunction with the 20^th anniversary of the partnership between Maybank and American Express (AMEX), the bank is currently running its Register, Spend, And Win RM200,000 Cashback campaign. Ongoing until 15 July 2022, selected AMEX credit cardholders will be able to earn up to RM5,000 monthly cashback by becoming a monthly top spender, as well as 8% cashback on online retail spend.

Specifically, this campaign has two tiers of cashback rewards to be won, and is open to Maybank customers who hold these cards:

Maybank 2 American Express Platinum credit card
Maybank 2 American Express Gold credit card
Maybank American Express Gold Cashback credit card
Maybank Islamic Ikhwan American Express Platinum credit card

Tier 1: Spend & Win (All AMEX Credit Cards)

Under Tier 1 – which is open to all of the cards listed above – you can win up to RM5,000 cashback by becoming one of the top spenders of the month, through the transaction of any retail expenses. Here’s the full list of the cashback prizes that can be won:

Monthly prizes	Amount	Monthly top spenders	Winners per month	Total winners (for whole campaign period)
Grand prize	RM5,000 cashback	Top 1	1	4
1^st prize	RM3,000 cashback	Top 2 – 4	3	12
2^nd prize	RM2,000 cashback	Top 5 – 10	6	24
3^rd prize	RM1,000 cashback	Top 11 – 20	10	40
Consolation prizes	RM20 cashback	Top 21 – 500	480	1,920

Note that your monthly expenses for Tier 1 will be calculated as per the following schedule:

Month 1: 15 March – 14 April 2022
Month 2: 15 April – 14 May 2022
Month 3: 15 May – 15 June 2022
Month 4: 14 June – 15 July 2022

Maybank also clarified that transactions such as Flexi or Easy Payment Plan instalments, balance transfers , e-wallets, and cash advance do not quality for this campaign. Additionally, each cardmember is only allowed to win one prize under Tier 1 throughout the whole campaign period – so let’s say you’ve won a cashback in Month 2, you will not be able to win again in Month 3 or 4.

Tier 2: Spend & Win (Maybank Islamic Ikhwan American Express Platinum Card-i)

Meanwhile, Tier 2 is open only to cardholders of the Maybank Islamic Ikhwan American Express Platinum credit card-i, allowing them to earn an extra 8% cashback when they spend on online expenses via the card (capped at RM80). This is on top of the winnings allowed under Tier 1.

Again, note that only online retail expenses will qualify for this campaign, so expenses such as Maybank EzyCash or EzyPay transactions, JomPay payments, FPX transactions, and e-wallet reloads are not accepted as qualifying transactions. Maybank further stated that the cashback reward will be awarded based on transaction date, irrespective of the posting date.

***

If you do earn rewards from either tiers, the cashback amount earned will be credited into your account within 12 weeks from the end of the campaign period. You’ll also be notified of your winnings via SMS.

To join in Maybank’s Register, Spend, And Win RM200,000 Cashback campaign, go ahead and register your participation by sending an SMS (AMEX<space>last 6-digit NRIC/passport number) to 66628. Once successfully registered, you’ll automatically be enrolled for both Tier 1 and 2 sub-campaigns; there is no need to register twice.
