I apply via relationship manager, approved in 4 days. for eligibility, just read the requirement from maybank website will do. I do business, therefore need to submit 6 months bank statement plus B Form + tax receipt plus company registration form. Since amex plat is totally different from other maybank credit card. I don think it can be upgraded, need to apply fresh. Min income is 190000.

At one point I have accumulated over 15million treat point from amex reserve, therefore I can't finish it in years, therefore I redeem it partial to airmiles and partially with iPhone, Mac pc and so on

Hi all, curious about how minimum income will be calculated if you are working overseas and only have overseas income slips with foreign currency?

Planning to apply platinum charge, and if I convert my annual salary from foreign currency to MYR, I will meet the income requirement. Anyone tried it before?

Really weak benefits compared to other countries. Business Class and First Class comes with lounge access so it's not a very useful benefit for this level of consumer.

Also no mention of FHR perks on the Malaysian site. Impossible to recoup RM3250 of value on this card.

Oh wow! now that you mentioned it, the Malaysian Platinum Charge really does lack a lot of features compare to other countries.
Currently I am deciding to apply between New Zealand and Malaysia Platinum card as it is not worth to apply in both countries.

The only real benefit for me to apply in Malaysia is I could have supplementary cards issued for family members to earn points on and to use it while I am in Malaysia or overseas, the points exchange rate are better than the NZ version too.

Malaysia Platinum Charge
MYR1120 = 5600 MR points = 1000 Krisflyer miles

New Zealand Platinum Charge
NZD1000 = 2000 MR points = 1000 Krisflyer miles (NZD1000 is equivalent to MYR2698.35 at the time of writing)

For overseas transactions, the Malaysia version is certainly better in terms of earning points. In theory, its more than 2x better in terms of points earning compare to the NZ version.

Different features between cards
=============================
Malaysia Version:
Priority Pass for Supplementary Card holder only
Golf Club and Green Benefits
SPG Hotels & Resorts Privileges Dinning discounts in Malaysia
Access to Tower Club, Singapore

New Zealand Version:
Priority Pass + 1 guest for Supplementary Card holder
NZD200 Travel Credit each year through Amex Travel
Fine Hotel and Resorts programes and benefits*
The Hotel Collection program and benefits*
Hotel Status: Accor Plus Membership, Hilton Honors Gold, Marriot Bonvoy Gold Elite
Radisson Rewards Gold, Shangri-La Golden Circle Jade Membership.
With Shangri-La Jade Membership able to status match to Krisflyer Status
Platinum Concierge*

*Highlighted in Red are features that maybe included in the Malaysia version, just not advertised.
Could any Malaysian Platinum Charge holders confirm this?

Common:
Priority Pass + 1 guest for Primary card
Points tranfer to other frequent flyer programes
Access to Amex lounges,Centurion lounges
Hertz Gold Plus and Avis for Complimentary Car upgrades
International Airline Programme for preferential fares thru Amex travel
Insurance
Purchase Protection
Amex Invites

If I have missed any features please point it out.

Amex Malaysia has recently improved their redemption to 5000MR = 1000 Krisflyer, and Asia Miles.
Enrich was 5000 MR = 1000 all along.
There's also a RM400 hotel credit. I think this is new. But if the hotel credit is applicable only to selected hotels, then RM400 doesn't go a long way.

Singaporean card gives SGD 800 travel credit ($400 hotel and $400 airline credit)
Singapore Amex $800 Travel Credit

hmmm amex here dont provide airmiles points for star alliance ka?

thinking about getting an amex but still debating if i should just stick with visa / mc since most places accept them

The transfer partners are here;
Amex Transfer Partners

Could I see the source for the 5000MR = 1000 Krisflyer? couldnt find anything on the internet about that.

and the CS rep got back to me and confirmed that the Malaysia Amex Platinum card does include Platinum Concierge, The Hotel Collection, Fine Hotels & Resorts and a smaller list of Hotel Loyalty Programme which only include Shangri-La Jade Membership, Hilton Honors Gold and Carlson Gold Elite aka Radisson Rewards.

But it do not include the Accor plus membership which include 1 complimentary night of accommodation.

GG, no amex for me in msia i guess. ah, felt like an opportunity just passed by me wasted...

Woohoo. that's nice. Thank you.

Just incase anyone wants to know more about the amex plat 👇🏼

Nice review. Thanks for posting it.

I saw your video yesterday, great unboxing video. Thanks! Also have your supplementary card holder use the priority pass yet? how do lounges know which one can bring guests in and which one can't?

I saw someone in another forums manage to bring guests in without any charge on their supplementary priority pass. Not sure how this works.

Where is the link for this review?
