And with a merchant rate of about 5%, they don't lose but will instead make more as not everyone will monitor their rebates until exactly RM50

In the maybank 2 cards, the Amex is platinum? Charge card or credit card?

It's a AMEX Platinum Credit Card

To be exact, its a Maybank Amex Platinum Credit Card and it entirely different class from AMEX's Amex Platinum Credit Card without the Maybank Logo.

same benefit as AMEX Plat charge card?

the AMEX is cc
and you hv the choice of either gold or plat

do u think that the platinum amex will have the 10x point earned same as the original platinum amex cc and charge card at some amex participated merchant?

Of course NOT entitle to 10X at Platinum Partners..

May not even qualify for lounge access.

RETAIL means must swipe the card terminal?
How about TNB/Celcom/TM/utilities bills? If I pay bills during weekends, what do I get?

For TNB and TM, you need to sign up for auto debit. They do not accept AMEX over the counter.


You can pay for your AMEX over the counter at any RHB Bank, BSN and of course Maybank. Payment can also be made by cheque at any Maybank cheque deposit machine or cash via cash deposit machine. IBG is also another option. However, certain banks do not support IBG payment to AMEX Charge Card.

TM/TNB counters are not open on weekends, right ?

Certain TM Points do open on weekends.

I mean, can I pay utilities bills using Amex Online (M2U?) ??

It's a hassle to go to TM/TNB, worse if mesin rosak. Since nowadays most banks enable online bill payment, who want to go out find parking & waste time queuing up?

Anyway, I like its 5% cashback anywhere (capped RM50). Better than DA MC which restricts spending at Tesco/Giant/Guardian/etc.

Unfortunately no.

i filled the 'interested' form yesterday n just now maybank called me to inform about the new maybank duo cards, the representative said the cards should be delivered to my home in 2 weeks time, platinum somemore...

use amex express autopay la, grant u 10000pt if u sign up. whatever amount u pay grant u 5x pts also. 5x pts equivalent to 2.5% cashback as 200pts = RM1

which MBB cards do you hold currently?

i'm just asking whether can use Amex to pay utilities bills online. Now confirm cannot already, I can just use other card ie. OCBC Ti.

I will deem Amex as a replacement of DA MC.

petronas visa gold and amex gold credit card, but the representative did mentioned my hire purchase loan with them as well
