Do you have BNM's email address? Cant get it from their site.

telelink@bnm.gov.my

tried to renew my car insurance online thru motortakaful.com using my amex to get extra 10% rebate, but unsuccessful twice. then call etiqa & everything was done thru the phone in less than 5 minutes.

then, call amex to ask about my january cashback, CS inform that either march or april statement should appear. but march statement jsut received, didnt appear, so hope that next month will get the cashback.

did u get the 10% thru phone?

yes, 10% also can get thru phone. the process will take ~2 days to complete & the policy will be send to my mailing address. by friday morning, can go to JPJ to renew roadtax.

etiqa took months to send out the policy
so best is to call etiqa on weekend and pay using M2 Amex, then you'll get 10% + 5%

still using 'old' amex, not yet applied for maybankard2 amex.

if after getting all my cashbacks & still no cc as attractive as maybankard2, then only i will apply it & cancel 'old' amex.

Motor insurance due soon and now contemplating switching to Etiqa for the extra 5% (on top of the 5x TP) through MBBKard 2 Amex, on top of the 10% rebate we enjoy for purchasing directly from the insurance companies. Anybody with AIA/Chartis motor insurance experience since it has been reported here that some of AIA's branches (eg Menara Axis) do accept AMEX, in particular the Jalan Ampang HQ?

Currently on AXA-Affin Smart Drive, as Additional Drivers Cover (Extends insurance coverage to additional named drivers) is complimentary. There is also no loading/no excess currently for motor cars less than 10 years old too provided that the insured value is less than RM150,000.00, according to their product brochure. Perfect for my situation except they only accept Visa or MasterCard and not AMEX

Anyway, I do have DAMC and may just use it instead of AMEX to take the 10-months 0% installment offer for insurance payments in the event switching to Etiqa/AIA is not worth the trouble.

Etiqa working mon-fri.
Please check the last month thread.

Correct me if I am wrong, so paying car insurance thru Etiqa:
1. Call Oneline 1300 13 8888 on Saturday entitles you 10% discount and they accepts MBB2Amex and gives 5% rebate.
2. Motortakaful -online (open 7/24) entitles you 10% discount but they dont accept MBB2Amex
3. Branch office (open Mon-Fri) no 10% discount but they accepts MBB2Amex.

Has anyone tried option 1 and get the 5% rebate? Read somewhere that the transaction might be regarded as Monday's transaction.

option 1, maybe u can try on a weekend & let us all know. on weekdays, 10% rebate is confirmed & accept amex over the phone.

option 2, tried to pay using amex twice yesterday, but both also failed. there's an option to select amex, visa or mastercard; not sure whether system error or what.

option 3, i remember going to maybank to renew last year, but they cant accept amex, so had to use cash. not sure now can already or not.

Then I will try option 2 first which definately gives 10%discount and might get 5%rebate if they accept Amex.

My car insurance expires on 16-April .

I have tried the option 1 last month, received the 10% discount, 5% MBB2AMEX Rebate and 5x TP

So long you purchase directly from the insurance company, you will enjoy the 10% premium rebate. See BNM's press statement dated 19/6/2009 and entitled "Premium Rebates for Purchasing Insurance Covers Directly from Insurers" here.
I got it by walking in to AXA-Affin's HQ at Wisma Goldhill, opposite The Weld

@MGM Thanks for your useful info on AIA/Chartis.

any1 know how to terminate AMEX ?

call 1800889559. Last time I asked CS if I could terminate my Amex Gold CC via phone, answer was yes.

Anyway I have yet to receive my 15% cash back for January 2011, told CS again yesterday night when I caleed on something else, the CS I spoke to yesterday so helpful and this morning called me back to inform me of my queries. I really like AMEX CS.

I called AMEX CS, they said any grocery related purchase (eg. Giant & etc.) is excluded in the 15% cashback promo. Anyone can verify this?

It has been stated clearly.

Only participating merchants at the participating malls excluding supermarkets/hypermarkets.

i thought the promo 15% rebate over already on February?

Yes ended in Feb but many of us yet to get the cash back. Anyway to update all, the CS told me Jan quota finish on 18th January and I have two transactions before then and she said she will let Marketing know to get the cash back sorted out.
