How to reload Touch & Go with AMEX? The centre at KL Sentral does not accept AMEX.

Amex gives 2x points only for every RM1 spending. Also, some IT shops tend to impose surcharge when you use Amex to pay. Currently, there are other CCs offering better cash back and promotions. Therefore, you may split your payment if you have other cards coincidently offering attractive discount. At the same time, your RM500 target spending on Amex is fulfilled.


Yes, RM500 is easily achieved on a monthly basis if you opt for Express Autopay for payment of telco and utility bills.


That previous promotion was MUCH BETTER AND EASIER, without asking you to spend any big amount on other retail transactions.

So the extra 8X of TP is equal to how many % of rebate? Is that nearly about 3.8%? Ok let's do a simple calculation:

21000TP = RM100 Jusco Voucher
210TP = RM1

So when we spend RM1000 and get extra 8X of TP, we get 10000TP = RM47.62 (2X = RM9.524, 8X = RM38.096)
Hence, RM38.096 over RM1000 we spent = 3.8096%

Correct me please if my calculation is wrong, thanks.

Why did you make it so complicated? 200 MR points = RM1. So 1 MR = RM0.005

do you guys notice what is the difference between Membership Reward and Maybanks TreatPoint ?

I can't register my Maybank AMEX card into www.americanexpress.com.my and i saw only Platinum card able to collect membership Reward point

correct me if im wrong

what do you mean? Only Platinum cards have points? Our normal Amex cards got no points??? :S

/me prefer American Express card issued by American Express themselves , not outsourced it to Maybank .

Somehow , i felt misunderstood on this matter ,whether Membership Rewards applicable to all Maybank AMEX card holder or not ...

Read thru here, click Terms and Conditions, in page 4 got explain which amex gain Treat Point and which amex gain Membership Rewards.

MR is strictly for AMEX without any other banks logo while TP is for all Maybank VISA/MasterCard/AMEX.


Not only Platinum Charge Card or Platinum Credit Card earn MR. Green Personal Charge Card, Gold Charge Card and Gold Credit Card are all on MR system. I was a Green Personal Charge Card user before.

I assume you're a Gold Credit Card holder ? That is the reason why you can't add the card to AMEX online. You can however, still view your card details on M2U.

I suggest that all new Amex users refer to the first page of this thread. At least this forum will sound more constructive. Questions on TP and MR have been answered again and again.

Actually I do agree that the MR and TP are rather confusing. Why they just standardize into one?

New express Autopay is the monthly auto bill payment right?


Look's like we need to register for every month:

Month 1: From 1 April – 30 April 2010 (both dates are inclusive)
Month 2: From 1 May – 31 May 2010 (both dates are inclusive)
Month 3: From 1 June – 30 June 2010 (both dates are inclusive)
Month 4: From 1 July– 31 July 2010 (both dates are inclusive)


Unexpired vouchers from Jusco is not count as groceries? Buying clothes from Jusco consider eligible for the RM500?

Btw, anyone know if any Touch n'Go reload accept AMEX?

they can't, one belongs to AMEX and one belongs to MBB

Not that I'm aware of. The T&G centre at KL Sentral definitely does not accept AMEX. Their terminal is from HLB.

Yea, tried a few TnG Reload center and all doesn't accept AMEX, only Visa/Master..
If HLB should accept right? Cause HLB also offer AMEX CC right?

Did IKEA accept Amex?

any1 have swipe their Amex in IKEA?

It depends whether the merchant wants to enable AMEX in the terminal.

Like TESCO, they're using CIMB terminal but CIMB has no association with AMEX.

Try to reload at the big shell station. If possible Big shell station nearby highway i.e Shell Jln Duta Toll...
Others shell good luck!

They accept Amex and accept reload TnG via credit card (which include Amex)

I tried to reload T&G at Petronas station and they only accept CASH; not CC.

Yes, Amex accepted. Used b4 but only normal 2x points.
