  1. Beware people intending to use the Maybank Cherry Debit Card as their main card:

    There is a hidden 10 transaction limit/day since my card was declined while I was doing some online shopping today. One transaction, card worked, the next, declined.

    Calling Maybank's customer service was just 5 minutes of verifications then another 5 minutes of them 'checking' and they came back to tell me there is a 10 transaction limit to your account. So beware if you intend to use this as your main card and go shopping (and avoid the embarrassment if your card gets declined at the counter) or even buy stuff online.

    Oh, and for stuff that does pre-authorization, that's considered as one, then if they refund, another, and the real charge, a third transaction.

    I've searched through Maybank2u and can't find this referenced anywhere at all, with the only 'purchasing limit' mentioned being your set amount that can be spent for a day.

    See #13 on http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/public/faqList.do?cntTypeId=0&channelId=CRD-Cards&cntKey=CRD03.03&programId=CRD03-DebitCards&chCatId=%2Fmbb%2FPersonal%2FCRD-Cards&faqId=CRD03.03-VisaDebit and tell me where is the 10 transaction limit?

    Avoid this card, unless you like not being able to use your card when you do need it.

    That's a good information for all of us. Maybank didn't actually mentioned there would be transaction limitation. I guess they prefer us to try and experience it by ourselves.
