Nerfed: Maybank World and Visa Infinite cards will no longer come with free points conversions

From 1 April 2025, Maybank will charge a standard points conversion fee of S$27.25 on two of its “elite” cards. This fee applies per transaction, regardless of the amount of TREATS points that are converted to air miles.

The cards affected by this change are:

  • Maybank World Mastercard
  • Maybank Visa Infinite

Here’s the notice posted on a Maybank page today:

With effect from 1 April 2025, Maybank TREATS Points Rewards Programme General Terms and Conditions will be revised. The key revisions are summarised below:

  • A S$25 conversion fee will be applicable for Maybank World Mastercard and Visa Infinite Cardmembers for redemption of air miles.
  • Frequent Flyer Program (FFP) fee waiver will continue to be applicable to Maybank Diamanté Metal Visa Infinite and Maybank Diamanté Visa Infinite Cardmembers.
  • S$25 FFP fee will be applicable for all other cards.

TREATS points earned on these cards will continue to not expire.
