Hi peeps,

Gee.. I certainly had no idea I had so many followers; even some of whom I don't recognise seem to know I managed to get this and that waived *respect*

@guanteik,
Anyhow, I don't exactly know what the criteria is but all you need to do is put a request through to the CS. They'll tell you they need to speak with the Management with regards to it and give you a counter offer in a few days. Usually they'll counter offer you to give you some form of MR points for the RM800 but I took a stance to tell them I wasn't satisfied with that.

Then, they tell you to give them a couple of days and they'll speak with the Management again and come back to you as to whether or not they can waive the RM800 completely.

I did roughly ask the CS what the criteria was and he said it's really on a case to case basis but if you've swiped at least 100k [or was it 50k? *shrugs*] on your card within the year, you'll usually get it waived.

Do let us know how yours works out for you as I soon will have to make a similar call *siGh*

PS: Don't be fooled - I certainly ain't rich!

@bingozero,
Big is relative. What's the point being big when owing bank loads of $

@boonsin23,
Er.. nolah, I don't hold any charge cards. Was hoping to get the Amex Gold Charge Card but now that I've to pay RM50 for it to the damn government, nah - no point !

@Gen-X,
I thought the Turbo Rewards programme ended?! Damn it.. now U make me wanna swap over to a Charge Card. Mom lurves my Tag Heuer and is asking me to redeem another for her; I told her sure - spend another RM350k and I prob have enough points to do that

@Gen-X,
Thanks for the long explanation but I guess I'll just pretend I don't know about the extra 0.5% rebate from the Turbo programme! Haf decided to reduce spending *grins* since I just bought a new property plus am still unemployed! *gulp*

@guanteik,
So.. did U get the waiver?

@guanteik,
Cheh! In that case no need for my long-winded explanation

@nagflar,
Shouldn't be a problem save for Petronas where u'll need to go into the counter to make payment.

@Reventon,
Is the result for that 2nd Longines out yet?! I'm waiting waiting waiting for it to be announced *g*

@tgeoklin,
Her ah?! Damn.. I thought him then U can intro me to him !

@Reventon,
That sux. I'm hoping I was gonna win something for the month of September; but if I didn't get the Longines, I should have qualified for the Delsey bag ! *shrugs*

@tgeoklin,
Hmm.. how come I'm not really feeling it?!

@bingozero,
When U buy stuff? At restaurants?!

@tgeoklin,
I have yet to achieve living the lifestyle of the rich! Maybe when Amex gives me an invite to their Centurion club ?

@stargate8,
Keep using it and soon u'll find 2x points nothing

@boo82,
AF on Amex Plat Charge Card if used more than 12x p/year?! Damn... I didn't even get a damn invite! Speaking of which, I just got billed RM800 for my Amex Plat CC; looks like I'm gonna have to make yet another call for waiver *siGh*

-Added-
Ah... that was quick. Got the waiver almost immediately. Didn't need to go through the usual hassle of waiting and calling again and etc etc.

@lowyatben.
Ah well.. cancel the card then. Surprisingly, I got charged my AF this month but the RM50 surcharge is no where to be found; maybe next month?

@lowyatben,
Be a bit more hard ass and tell them NOT to utilise ur points to offset the RM50. By using your points, you're still at the short end of the stick

@lowyatben,
Oh.. So they give you 10,000 points and then tell U the 10,000 points is for you to contra? Hmm.. that's a pretty smart way to go around the RM50. I'll use that when the RM50 is reflected on me bill

@cute_boboi
I rather have the trolley bag than the stupid Longines watch. They sent me the woman size which is so freaking small; I prefer the male size! *iSh*

@cute_boboi,
U want I swap with U?

@xphossis,
Google should help you explain the difference As to interest rates chargeable, it's much much much higher on a charge card because on that card, ur supposed to clear ur bill every month!

@ben83,
Both the MBB WMC and MBB Plat Charge card doesn't come with 1st year waiver on the Annual Fees right?! Lol.. I think I rather be buying a BV wallet with the RM2.5k on the annual fees than to give it to the bank
