Yo, I just went to Maybank today to change my previous ATM card to a Visa Debit card. The intention to change is after seeing the advertorial on the newspaper a few days ago. Since I do shop online, a Visa Debit card helps me a lot.I already have a Prepaid Mastercard, but then getting another one won’t lose anything. One thing, RM12 will be deducted from account for the card.

I went to Maybank after school. It’s easy.

  1. Tell the counter you want to change the Maybankard to Debit Card.
  2. Fill in the form.
  3. Go back to the counter.
  4. Wait for the process (ID check and everything).
  5. Get your new Visa Debit card on the spot.
  6. Change your PIN at the nearest ATM machine at last.

The whole process took me like about 45 minutes, I believe it could be faster if the person talk less to his colleague. By the way, there’s a Hari Raya open house at Maybank KOMTAR today at the time I was there, free buffet to everyone, but I did not eat.

USA Starbucks Card in Malaysia

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 5, 2008 – 12:28 am -

I remembered when I was ordering food at Starbucks Coffee, Suria KLCC, I saw a lady paid the cashier in cash and later she gave her a card. I then quickly surf the net to look for any Starbucks Coffee privillage card or sort of. What I found is Starbucks Card which is a prepaid card which stores credit for buying coffee.

Unfortunately, it’s only available in a few country only, etc. United States, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, UK and a few more. Malaysia is not in the list. However, that lady did give the cashier a card. Is it a foreign Starbucks Card and she was using it for point collection? I don’t know.

I saw the Starbucks Card quite interesting on the net and decided to get one for myself. For collection and also for use if I could use it in Malaysia. Checked Ebay and I found one that’s only $3. Bought it and it has arrived today in my letterbox. It took about 1 and a half week for the delivery from United States to Malaysia. It seems fast.

Nothing much in the envelope, there’s a greeting card and the Starbucks Card itself.

It has $0 credit in the card and I don’t what should I do with it. For the sake of funness and attractiveness of the card, I bought it off the net. I love Starbucks, but it’s expensive. Any Starbucks collector here?
