Went to pay TNB bill yesterday and too sad that Amex is not accepted...!!!

Amex should think of a way to improve its acceptance in Malaysia.

Btw, I still feel Amex is more elegant (physical look) than other CC despite of it's poor acceptance...

From my case, I didn't include any proof of income. I just copied them my current credit card and that's it. I told them if you need more documents other than that, then just help me to withdraw my application. The reason is very simple, if I can do so for my other CC application, then why not Amex CC?

But, I can did that because I'm sure they should be comfortable with my history... Also, this doesn't always working as well. Last time, Southern Bank (now, become CIMB) had rejected my CC application (i don't know why) and I told myself that I wouldn't apply any CC from Southern Bank anymore...

thinking of signing up Express AutoPay with my Amex CC... however, I dun know if anybody having any issue with Amex before.

What I'm worry:
1. Amex line down when the service provider credit our account... It happened to my Visa (Alliance Bank Visa) before for my Digi postpaid and it ended up need to use manual credit by Digi and I almost lost my RM10 monthly rebate scheme (as it's on RM5 rebate now and only those signed up long time ago will continue enjoy RM10). Luckily, Digi managed to recover that for me... I don't hope to see similar issue again so I dare not to change to Amex

2. How long does the enrollment takes? If it takes too long, then possibly TNB will cut my electricity...

Just finished reading the T&C, it does mentioned that the Express Autopay will not cover those balance before the effective date, T & C #4.

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...

Tried my Amex at Esso Juru Penang last weekend... but, FAILED!!!

Usually, I don't have problem to use Amex at any Esso/Mobil...

Yes, BHP does not accept AMEX... tried already!

Base on my experience, sometime it's due to their machine problem and they tend to blame amex instead. I used my amex few weeks ago and it failed on the first attempt. The cashier then used another terminal and everything just went fine. See, it's their tactic and keep on blaming amex...

HOWEVER, i think amex should do something to make it more popular in malaysia... otherwise, i could stop using it also next year due to our "smart" government policy.

When u'r not famous then people will tend to blame u (amex) coz the perception is there!

Nicer design, higher rebate... but harder to find merchant to accept it in Malaysia

planning to US and may use my Amex gold cc there... but, i was told that the finance charges (or whatsoever charge they call) are higher then Visa/Master???

Anybody has this experience before?
