Maybank increases TREATS points balance cap to 5 million

Before today, Maybank cardholders could only hold a maximum of 1 million TREATS points (equivalent to 400k miles) in their account. This has (finally) changed.

New 5 million TREATS points cap

Effective immediately, cardholders can hold up to 5 million TREATS points (equivalent to 2 million miles) in their account.

This increased cap should be most helpful to cardholders who redeem miles/points for more than 1 pax (e.g. family members, friends).
