Datuk Hamirullah Boorhan, Head, Community Financial Services Malaysia of Maybank said, “We transformed our annual Treats Fair to a virtual experience last year so that our cardmembers could continue to enjoy the perks of their Maybank TreatsPoints and Membership RewardsTM Points at the fair, despite the pandemic. The response was very positive and this has inspired us to make this year’s fair even more extensive with better deals, and greater variety of goods and brands. We are looking forward to welcoming more than 200,000 visitors to the fair, and expect sales to double from last year, with over 1.5 billion points to be redeemed.”

For the first time ever, we are bringing the Manchester United Megastore to the Virtual Treats Fair. Cardmembers will be able to use their Maybank Points to redeem selected official merchandise at discounted prices, which are inclusive of shipping charges; or they can redeem e-vouchers and use them at the Manchester United Online Megastore to purchase next season’s kit! ”
