Too bad you need 5600 MR for 1000 KF (how nice if we can get 450 MR to 250 KF).
Sign up bonus 300k MR is very attractive but not many here able to spend RM50k within 90 days (with Amex).
*

Its 20K within 3 months. As I plan to go to Spore and Perth within 3 months so I think will be able to reach the limit as will use for hotel stays. Planning to check out the Tower Club in Spore using the Platinum

I haven’t been in touch with some of the changes recently. Can anyone confirm my latest understanding on these? I have 1 Amex Gold CHARGE Card and 1 Amex Gold CREDIT Card (not the cashback one).

Gold CHARGE Card

. Previously I had Turbo MR thing for 2x becoming 3x MR but does this Turbo still exist? Because I haven’t seen RM100/year “enrolment” fee for a while, unless I missed it when they have it in my statement amongst other expenditures

. I have auto-billing for utilities, DBKL, MBPJ, Timedotcom, TNB, etc; question: now I’m only receiving 1 MR for each RM1?

. Spending this card for petrol will not give me 2+1(Turbo) but only 1 MR, right?

Gold CREDIT CARD

. 5x MR for groceries; this one remains, right? Based on MBB website

. 5x MR for petrol; no more valid, now only 1x MR apparently

Also if I actually still have Turbo (I can call them and ask, LOL), anything that gives 1 MR (eg: utility) can become 2 MR?

EDIT: OK I still have Turbo but unsure if any 1 MR from utilities become 2 MR or not. Their statements only lump sum everything in one report so hard to see unless I calculate manually.

Hi, by Amex Gold CREDIT card, are you referring to the Maybank 2 Gold/Platinum Amex Card? I’m not aware of an Amex Gold Credit Card that isn’t the Cashback one and offer 5xMR

Not Maybank 2 Amex. Many many yrs ago, Maybank had Amex credit card with 5x MR for groceries, petrol and utilities. Now they replaced with this cashback version. And my card now only gets 5x for groceries. No more for petrol and utilities. Only recently I realised this change. After swiping so many times for petrol and not paying attention to my MR statement *sigh*

There's a lot of benefits if you apply US Platinum card, $200 for Uber, $200 for airline credit, $550 on hotel (combine in a year ) despite its $550 annual fee.

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-c.../card/platinum/

Here you need to pay RM3250, which can scare off some people. What else do you get beside of the 300k Membership point? Any voucher for the hotel etc?

Yup, because Msia CC business isn't competitive.
The only good thing from Msia Amex is getting 5x MR for everything (except utilities etc), which gives ~0.9 mile/RM equivalent to ~0.2 mile/$!!!
For US version, you only receive 1 mile/$, except a few categories which get you 5x MR.

Not sure, I never hold this card, but have a look at Thailand benefits, very worthy to get this card (better than Malaysia )

Very good deal. Singapore also has very good deals for their premium credit cards. For me, our Amex charge card has zero incentive to sign up.
