No. That won't be possible. You cannot pay for your AMEX using IBG.

You may only pay for your AMEX card from M2U or RHB online banking. You have to select bill payment.

I guess this is it now. With MBB's decision to tax individual cards, I'm left with no choice but to cut my Ikhwan AMEX and keep my Ikhwan Visa Petronas. Will wait for a while though, as my anniversary is in July, and hopefully they can work something out to retain members. Now waiting for my 15% rebate from my shopping spree in KL. As things stand now, I have to say goodbye, dear AMEX friends.

6 nov oso cannot see
maybe they are doing in batches

alexwsk: Maybe they give out to those who gets RM150 in full rebate first...

yes, we can pay MBB AMEX as show in the HLB list

hopefully, else the 4m is finish so so fast

Received a mailer frm MBB this morning:
10,000 TP for Ikwan AMEX if u enroll Express AutoPay
1 bill = 2,000 TP
2 bills = 5,000 TP
3 or more bill = 10,000 TP

download the form from m2u
T&C stated needs 4-6 process after sucessful enrolment

I stand corrected. Apparently we can now do IBG online via HLB.com and CIMBCLICKS.com because last time AMEX wasn't listed in the IBG list. However, CIMBCLICKS.com IBG only supports payment to Maybank AMEX credit card. IBG to AMEX charge card is still not possible.

By the way, i just checked my Public Bank and HSBC online banking accounts. Both now support IBG to Maybank AMEX and Hong Leong Bank AMEX too. However, HSBC stated that IBG to AMEX Charge Card is not allowed just like CIMBCLICKS.com.


Wow ! Desperate to retain customers i suppose. Anyway, this is good to the consumers

not sure whether this is the correct thread to ask this..but i am just gona ask..

if i use amex card in a different country, how will the exchange rate be like? will it be the same as the currency u exchange manually? is the amex card exchange rate different than normal visa exchange rate when used in a different country?

The exchange rate will be determined by American Express. Please note that there will also be 1.5% - 2.5% of admin fee charged.

AMEX with Maybankard logo (include Maybank Islamic Ikhwan series) - 1.5%
AMEX charge card and credit card (all without Maybank logo) - 2.5%

owh..what about the normal visa credit cards?anyone know whether they charge admin fees as well?

My latest statement just came out and I can't see any rebates too.

I'm pretty sure I would have qualified for the earlier ones - Purchase date was 8th November. In 1 Utama ....

I checked the T&Cs and it says :

10. The cash back will be credited to Principal Cardmember’s Card account 4 – 6 weeks after the Tracking Month end.
The cash back amount will be rounded up to the nearest sen, for
example 1) Charge amount RM499.90 – Cash back amount will be RM75.99,
example 2) Charge amount RM999.75 – Cash back amount will be RM149.96.

It's about 4 weeks already since end of November ...

Yes. They do. For Maybank VISA and Mastercard, the admin fee is 0.5%.

No.


I guess Amex is giving out the rebates gradually. We don't get it for Christmas but we have to be patient.

I'm not going to swipe it anymore for the 15%

Since a few days ago, I have been using it in petrol stations and hypermarkets ONLY.

Yeah, considering it's only 4m total rebates, I would think it's dried up by now

yea, just use it for 5X points
