So we brought our 5 year old across the causeway to Genting Highlands over the long weekend and there are some information which I think may be useful for families travelling with young children. Checking-in Being budget conscious, we stayed at First World Hotel. There is a board showing what room types are currently available so you can check-in. The kiosks are quite buggy and we had to approach the staff thats stationed around the kiosk to help. Have some cash in hand to make payment for the taxes as the kiosks that accept credit cards can be buggy. For the uninitiated, Tower 1 is the nearest and Tower 3 is the furthest. Sometimes with a kid in tow, every step counts. Convenience stores There are 7-eleven and family mart located so we are able to buy packet milk for the little one. For other toiletries, there is Guardian and watsons which can satisfy most needs. The bottled water is cheaper at the pharmacies. Payment There is rarely any shop that does not accept cashless paymen...
Wef 1st June Maybank has launched a promo giving 8% cashback on all MYR spends on their Maybank Family and Friends card. Note that the 8% and the usual category 8% do not stack. Meaning all MYR spending that do not fall into the 5 selected categories or above the $312.50 cap will then get the 8% discount. This means after fees of 3.25% we can get up to 4.75% cashback. So for existing cardholders, this is the card to use for your Malaysia trips. If we want to squeeze more out of the card, we can pair it with amaze and use amaze card on the selected categories instead.
