spoke to a maybank2 card sales rep at a booth near the curve yesterday.

mention to him that my amex gold just got charged rm50 gst in feb, if i apply new maybank2 card will it charge another rm50? his answer is a definite yes. but he counter back by asking me to signup 2 autopay & will get 10000TP to offset the gst.

but my autopay had just all transferred to ocbc titanium.

yes there are different teams, even the Amex Plat and Amex Gold have different teams. But I noticed MBB CS have been improving since I got my first MBB card in 2009. And if not mistaken lauyaumonk mentioned some Amex CS have been assigned to MBB. Lauyaumonk, if you drop by, do enlighten us on this.

no point crying over spilled milk. The fact is MBB Dua Amex much much better than AMEX Gold CC. The earlier you get MBB 2, the earlier you benefit from it. MBB 2 gives you cash back on weekend which can offset the GST and also just spend RM2,000 with MBB 2 and you have enough points to offset GST.

1. If you had not used the Amex Gold after they charged the GST, you can get it waived via a cancellation.
2. 10000TP is for signing up 3 AutoPay billers.

i agree that the sooner the better, but im gonna wait until i get all my 15% cashback, then only 'jump'. guess bad timing on my anniversary date.

yup, 3 autopay, but he confidently said 2.

5% cashback on weekends is just too good. we all spend more on weekends dont we.

Can give further details about the autopay? how to apply?

in layman terms, ur CC pay for ur bills on ur behalf.

but have to monitor ur bill also, maybe sometimes got error like billing suddenly very high for that particular month. if not buta-buta ur CC pays even though theres a discrepancy.

Does Guardian, Watsons & Caring accept AMEX at their stores ?

Guardian, Watson = yes
Caring = not sure

Yes, Caring accepts Amex also.

hi...anyone purchased electronic devices from globaleshop before??how about the cost (shipping rate,tax....)??

Glad to hear that major pharmacies accept Amex. However, their price of medicines are not cheap at all, even after minus 7.5% equivalent cashback using Amex. I buy a lot of medicines every month, I found a pharmacy in Dataran Sunway which MCC code falls in 5% cashback category, and its price is very very competitive. For example, Plavix 1 blister RM97. I bet you can't get this price anywhere else.

Never tried this service but somehow it's service is linked with comgateway.

You can get the shipping estimate from www.comgateway.com

Yes, all three of them.

While we consider the Amex cashback, sometimes need to survey prices at different places also. No point buying RM300 with Amex 15% cashback, but sold RM250 at Chinese medicine shop. One example was when I bought an Omron blood pressure meter, selling price was like RM270 - RM300 in Jusco, Guardian, Caring, but I got the exact same model at RM199 from a pharmacy in Taman Megah.

Agree. Survey b4 buying else end up d the original price + rebates cost even much more .

This is what I want to say too. I don't understand why you repeated my meaning using another scenario.

You always get higher price tag in big stores like Jusco, Isetan so on. Thats why I only go during "SALES"

Most people will do this, you are not alone

good advice.
