is it mean total 8m payout?
den i shld go shop again @@

Here's the latest Maybank annoucement

This is certainly good news! I hope they extend this to shopping malls in other states too...

Actually its more like due to overwhelming complaints since the first 4M was gone even before end of dec 09 but its good news to those Amex CC holders who would otherwise be very disappointment

That sure if very generous of them

Today it's only meant for Klang Valley.

My idea....The extension may just for those who spend in Jan 2010.... So if you decide to spend in Feb, beware you may not get the 15%

@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?

i mainly use CC for petrol ? so did AMEX card accept in major petrol station ?

@tinkerbel
I don't use a AMEX Platinum. I asked you for my information.

no problem with ALL Shell kiosk
for petronas, can accept at certain stations only and need to swipe inside at the counter

@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.

In fact, early last month I was informed by an Amex CS officer that Amex might consider to top up the cash back as a rebate amounting to RM2mil had already been hit in November. And now, it is an official news. I am happy that I will be getting another RM150 for my expenses in January.


Not all petronas stations accept Amex, even though you swipe it inside the counter. Only those petronas stations displacing amex logo at entrance accept Amex in the counter.

I just bought 1 refrigerator from mid valley Harvey Norman.
Hope can get 15% cash Back.

finish my Feb 15% cash back quota...

Hope Amex can extend after CNY..

@Reventon, received officially confirmation from big gun in Miaubank CC department regarding this.
Spend min 40K per month, you will be consider to be invited to platnium class. Spend 60k p/a (5k a month) your AF waiver is almost possible. However, spending pattern are taken to consider. Example, if you spend 60k in first 2 month, and the remaining 10 month are "silent" from any transaction, there is high chance you cannot get the AF waived. If you spend 60K randomly throughout the year, then the chances are high..

Spend 40k per month consider to be invited to platinum class ? What you mean actually ? Amex Plat CC is my primary card since the day i got it except the merchant doesn't accept it.

Nice one. Hope to get full 150 in February. So now, total payout by MBB is 8m, correct?

how to use AMEX to make online payment. i cant select AMEX frm my acc maybank2u

Mine too, only Maybank Petronas Visa can make online payment in my M2U.

Dear all,

Just want to share my experience trying to redeem my MR for Frequent Flyer / Frequent Guest programs.

I have AMEX Gold Credit Card. When I called the CS, they said that Credit Card will NOT be eligible to redeem points such as Starwood, Hiltonhonors, etc. Reason? Maybank still haven't set up the "facility" for this type of redemption.

If you have AMEX Charge Card, then yes, you can redeem for frequent flier / guest points as usual.

I found this to be shocking after spending my purchases mostly to AMEX credit card only to find this issue yesterday. I even talked to the supervisor on the phone and she could only apologised for the problem.

I told her I might just write to AMEX HQ (in USA, I assume) regarding the silly things Maybank is doing to their brand.

Anyone else has the same issue?
