Thanks for the advice donpapachino .

I think I will go for it but I just hate the submitting documents process.

for Msia, hardly got online portal is accepting Amex. i.e. GSC n TVG

Do you know that you can make a donation online using Amex? You do charity and enjoy 2x points plus tax exemption simultaneously. It is such an honour and everybody should do that!

my tax bracket is the lowest... or no tax...

as for me, i no need to donate to get tax exemption...

for amex, i think it is better to redeem point for cash. every 200 mr points gives rm1 rebate on statement, which is worht more than voucher.
based on 2 mr points per ringgit spent, i can get 1% discount on my purchases thru amex.

for voucher, it does not worth than much because in the end, you have to spend to voucher at the particular shop, means less flexibility.

would you mind to provide us the link?

r u sure? have u tried? or anyone you know tried it before?

Courier charges for the service provided by vPost is actually cheaper but it is only for UOB Bank and HSBC credit cardholders. vPost is a courier service provider based in Singapore.

Sigh..apple store Malaysia doesn't accept Amex. Only visa and master.

well, based on my experience certain stores accept amex with a subcharge interest fee. but they kinda "reluctant" to accept amex for small payment below 1k. so try yr luck and argue with them.

me too.. submitted to AMEX but Maybank CS said they didn't received my fax.. ask me re-fax.. Actually our AMEX Application will be process by Maybank or AMEX one? It's almost 1 month d..

As far as I know, you will get the same card number for the renewal card (which expired)... the number will be changed if you get a replacement card due to stolen or security breach (which mean you current number or account is at security risk which couldn't be used anymore).

So far, I just need to update all the autopayment about my new expiry date only... account # will be the same...

Some of the organisations may not be in the list of approved institutions for tax exemption under Section 44 (6) Income Tax Act 1967. Here you go.

Global eShop was designed courtesy of Amex, and of course, all Amex cards are acceptable.

i'm still confused who globaleshop & comgateway works...

let's say i wanna buy something over amazon.com, then add to cart in the comgateway... than how it relates to globaleshop?

Globaleshop will provide you an address in the USA. Then right after they get the shipment from Amazon, they will forward it to your address in Malaysia using courier. It works exactly the same as vPost.

where to use this card in terengganu? already 2 month, but still no use.

try at petronas station, can't use both at pump and inside shop.

Switch to SHELL

After a few attempts at Petronas, finally I managed to use once last week. The one successfully swiped my Amex at the counter was an old Petronas station with Amex logo shown at the entrance. Initially it was rejected at kiosk.

Before that I tried using Amex at some new Petronas stations, over the counters and kiosks, but all the experiments failed. I could therefore make a conclusion that in general, only those Petronas stations showing Amex logo at the entrance probably accept Amex and the card must be swiped over the counter. For those Petronas stations without Amex logo, it is almost impossible to use Amex there.

Just confirmed with MBB CS,
AMEX Ikhwan is now Lifetime Fee Waiver
(Don't have to even swipe 12 times per year for free annual fee)

What a good news...
