Can a Maybank Family & Friends Principal Card member exchange or upgrade to other gifts?

Is it possible for a Maybank Family & Friends Principal Card member to exchange or upgrade to other gifts and can Maybank help to reserve gifts? And finally would this be open to overseas and online transactions?

    No. All gifts cannot be exchanged or upgraded. That is, Card members are not allowed to upgrade to redeem for other items and No. All redemption gifts will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Any SMS message sent before spending are made will be automatically rejected. Now yes, it is open to overseas and online transactions. The overseas and online transactions are strictly for Travel Insurance, overseas hotel charges, overseas car rental and air tickets only. Other transactions such as shopping and dining are not eligible.

Too bad it is not an unlimited cashback card

Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.

Great customer service officers

I have had this card for a long while. The good thing with the card is that AMEX have been waiving my annual fees which is probably why I still have the card. The pros with this card include – Great customer service officers that are friendly and will do their best to help you with prompt follow ups, direct credit of miles to your Krisflyer account, many small promos every few months with a fantastic sign up promo, no minimum spending and perfect for concert lovers as AMEX offers priority to provide tickets.

Close to 6.5% rebates on dining

I have held this card for quite a long time and one thing I like about the card is the fact that it is used for CapitaLand malls and they are almost everywhere. So I enjoy dining taking advantage of the 10x rewards merchants to accumulate the points faster. Imagine getting close to 6.5% rebates on dining. Not to forget their sign up bonus of $60 rebates in vouchers when you spend $1,500. That's a 4% rebate excluding the points you will earn which will convert into vouchers too.

Zero Travel Related Online Merchants

The Citi SMRT card is a pretty decent card for spending but they unfortunately exclude travel related online merchants. This to me is the downside of the card and may be a reason to get another card for travel websites.
