If you want the output to be:

CashRebate=[true], Platinum=[true], CoBrandCard=[true]{CoBrandType:Holt Renfrew}, ChargeCard=[true], ConsumerCard=[true], Product Type Code:null

Just make the regex non-lazy:

pattern p = Pattern.compile("CardType:\\[(.*)\\]");
Matcher m = p.matcher(value);

This makes the regex match the last instance of ].
