Yes, for the Amex Gold Charge Card, the CS can waive it on the spot over the phone.

Serious? Should I call to ask now or wait til they charge me first?

Why, you think I joking? I have not paid my AMEX Gold Charge Card annual fee for more than a decade. You can call now and see what they say, it is Tol Free anyway, no cost to you if you use landline or DiGi. AMEX CS 1800-88-9559.

Already called. Can only be waived when it has been charged. I'll have to give a call end again of this year

Well they seem not that reluctant to give the waiver. Glad to hear that.

Gen-X your annual fee is waived for life or you have to call yearly to waive them?

I finally got my January cashback. Manually added into my Amex Gold CC. Time to transfer the balance and cancel the card.

i will redeem all the MR to cash 1st and then cancel it. But will do it on Oct

Me too, finally it was credited into my Gold Charge Card account but keeping the card because of No.88.

I got my 150Rm cashback for Jan as well.. perseverance pays after making enormous of calls to them....

i wanna ask about the points. 7000pts can convert to 1000mile. how the mile interpret? is the distance i can fly?

You need to refer to the Airlines miles .. Miles is another term like Points, not actual miles you can fly lah.

oic, which airline offer the best deal? can choose which airline de.

Added on June 15, 2011, 9:03 ami saw amex can use 20000pts to change RM100 airline voucher, alternatively, can convert 7000pts to 1000 enrich mile. which 1 worth? thinking to register enrich mile card to collect those point through amex mr.

I just got my Amex Plat (not the Maybank 2 card).
I have no other Maybank account, and I requested to have M2U.

Surprisingly, the officer tried and can't create for me. Anyone had that experience where they do not have any other Maybank facilities? Wanted to know whether it's the officer's inexperience or it's the default.

When he enter the card to the "pin machine" the machine came up with error "cannot create pin".

If that is the case, how do I check my transactions and if I wanted to request online statement, where to view? Can it be viewed via Amex website: https://www.americanexpress.com.my/amx/pers...?action=display ?

Haven't called CS yet, just wanted to see other people's experience before I call.

Goto AMEX site and register yourself. My charge card i check thru AMEX site but last time my AMEX Gold Credit Card thru M2U and I don't have a MBB CASA account.

oh yah, your above link will do also.

The officer tried click here click there, insert the card and all but it just wouldn't allow to enter the 1st time pin.
will call later tonight to Amex and see what they say. Will update if I have more infor

b00n, what I meant was go directly to AMEX site and try register online account yourself. no need temporary pin.

That I've done. But saw a note there as well stating: "To view your American Express Credit Card transactions, you may visit www.maybank2u.com.my"

Although I saw a "Recent Charge" button there, since I just got the card; I don't know whether or not this would shows transactions or not. Can advise?

The other thing I thought of is paying bills. Usually for other bank's card; I need to log in to their website and select bill to pay using my card or account. But if M2U is not there, that means I can't pay bill using my Amex right - unless I register for auto deduction lor... am I right?

yes, all new transactions, cash back, etc will be shown in recent transactions.

As for paying bills online no idea. But I know for Maxis and DiGi, you can go to their centres and sign up for auto debit with them.

haha, then at least got more comfort. At least can check on and off to make sure account didn't get fraud
Then for bill paying will still have to use my other cards. I don't like register for auto debit because very troublesome when change card or card number. Need to re-register. That's why I usually use online transaction paying monthly with either my card or bank account.

In future, if you get to pay your utility bills with AMEX via online, please let me know.

on another note, any reason why you chose the standard plat compared to the Maybank2 card?
