I'm not sure if the branch has machine to verify/test the card.

I think I made such complain before on my Ikhwan AMEX.

The counter personnel took my card, rubbed the chip with an eraser and asked me to try again in the next swipe. If problem persists, go back again.

Regarding chip problem, I think Citibank is very concerned.
Because every year when I requested fee waiver, the CS sure ask me "Is the card in good condition?".

More than that. Till 15th February 2011

I checked their website, it seems that I can redeem RM50 voucher using 10000 pts or less depending on the outlets that I am interested to.

Lazy to do the maths but agak agak is PBB Esso/Mobil + Smiles Card >>> MBB Petronas + Mesra Card

Hmm for CC replacement due to faulty chip, how can we talk to them and convince them the chip is faulty? As mine sometime works sometime don't...
My card is Amex Gold CC... 75% of the chip is rusted with dark brown color now...

Usually how long does it take to get replacement card? Will the CC number changed too?
I'm curious if you say its not in good condition, will they replace the card immediately? and also waive the annual fees?

I switched to PBB Esso/ Mobil too. I pumps around RM200 of fuel/month. So, not much saving to me. I just don't like Petronas fuel.

I also noticed that smiles pts is based on the ringgit you spend while mesra point based on litres of fuel you pump.

So basically, you will get more points when you are using Esso/mobil fuel.

Smiles points redemption = 1000 pts = RM15 while,

Mesra points = 100 pts = RM1.

I'm not sure how fast new card is issued.
Last October is my Citibank Shell card's expiry date, they sent me new card even before expiry.
I got it waived but still I cancelled it already.

oh again my mistake. typo error

should press 2 but 1 so become 15/1/2011 then i just calculate till january

so got 9 more tuesday.

but again, i'm not using petronas

we talking about fuel rebates not other vouchers!

btw, funny, there is no petronas voucher at https://www.maybankard.net.my/index.php
why eh? correct me if i'm wrong

but at http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...=null&pageNum=1 got rm10x5 for 11000 tp

yes u are correct regarding the reward points given by the petrol station (smiles & mesra).

to get rm10 petronas from mesra card, u need to pump 1000 litres which for ron95, its rm1900

don't forget petronas hv contest, MAY win something, although i never have b4
plus at kajang hard to find esso/mobil

I'm curious if you say its not in good condition, will they replace the card immediately?

lol, sry ah, since i live around jln reko and kajang town, didn't really notice it.  petronas n shell conquer

guys, which one better?

HSBC Amanah which give you 0.5% rebate or PBB Esso/Mobil CC which give you rebate for petrol and also if not wrong 0.5% also for all kind of usage right?

Is there any Esso/Mobil in PLUS highway nearby Kajang? northbound or southbound also OK.

Be aware, HSBC Amanah is Islamic card, so can't use for clubbing, non-halal merchant. Just like one of case in MalayMail, one of amanah user was declined when he try to swipe in pizza restaurant. If i'm not mistaken, it was domino pizza as mentioned by a forumer 

inside plus dont have.

but if exit kajang, go straight to bangi, esso is on the left after traffic light. there also offer 2x points.
