Up to 8% cashback on Air Tickets

From 1 Jan to 31 Mar 2026, Maybank Family & Friends cardholders can receive 6 to 8% cashback when making flight bookings directly with airlines (i.e. not through an online travel agency).

To qualify, cardholders need to select “Commute” as 1 of their 5 preferred cashback categories, which will include the new range of MCCs during the promo period.

Unfortunately, cashback is capped at just S$20 – S$30 per calendar month, which translates to a maximum spend of just S$375/month if spending at least S$1,600/month on the card.

As previously shared, cardholders will need to spend a minimum of S$1,600/month on the card to qualify for 8% bonus cashback on selected categories and S$800/month to qualify for 6% bonus cashback.

Obviously, this promo is only good if you’re already planning on using the Maybank F&F card on other categories, and for cheaper flight tickets under S$375.

Cardholders can also earn the bonus cashback on the taxes/fees portion of flight award bookings.
