Best Used When you Can Hit the Tiers Consistently for 3 Months in a Quarter

The way to optimise this is to spend up to either S$300, S$1,000 or S$2000 every month for three consecutive months according to Maybank’s quarter.

• Cashback Tier:

• • Quarterly cashback is based on a fixed 3-month spending period (e.g. Jan–Mar, Apr–Jun, Jul–Sep, Oct–Dec

  • If you spend S$330 in Month 1, S$1,010 in Month 2, and S$2,030 in Month 3, you will only get cashback based on S$300/month = Tier 1 (S$30 cashback). This card rewards consistency, so it’s best to plan and track your spending to stay in one tier across the quarter.

• Minimum Spend Mechanics:

• • Before July 2025, you will only have to spend S$300, S$1,000, or S$2,000 each month per calendar quarter to get the cashback. Now, it requires stricter spend tracking.
  • For example, if you spend S$200 in selected categories, only S$90 will be considered for the S$300 minimum spend. To qualify, you need to spend at least S$210 in general categories. 

• What Counts as ‘Selected Categories’:
•  

• Note: Only 30% of your spending counts toward CardUp/iPayMy (MCC 7399) — you need to spend the other 70% on other eligible categories just to qualify for the cashback tiers. That makes the effective cashback much lower and harder to achieve.

Can be used on Insurance Payments, To A Limited Extent

• Insurance payment can be accumulated as eligible spend for up to 30% of the monthly spend amount for each tier.

• Eg. If your monthly spend is S$1,000, only up to 30%—that’s S$300—can be from selected categories like insurance. The remaining S$700 must be from general spending to qualify for cashback.

• For clarity: Insurance payments are not required—but if you include them, they must not exceed the 30% cap for your tier.
