The respond i received is Petronas officially accepts Amex but not at the pump. Can you provide some specific location of petronas stations that do not accept Amex? Thanks

I think there is an issue between AMEX n Petronas not that the pump can support it. What I assume is the merchant fee or chargeback (dispute/fraud cases), may be only not sure.

If MBB really want to boost the revenue of Amex (we can see the intention from the launching of Maybankard 2), hopefully MBB can utilize its influence to help Amex offer even better merchant program than Visa/MC. I don't really understand how this merchant program works, but this is just my wish.

Should Amex continue to sacrifice revenue due to high merchant fee? I think this will require discussion in Amex (USA)? hmm.gif

How i wish also, but i can tell you it a Branding Image issue, if they lower the fee they cant hold their prestiges image, beside AMEX card is known as up market card. so it a chicken and egg thingy, where you want $$$ = lower the fee. Keep the Brand image = lower $$$ but give better customer experience.

Dont forget AMEX have platinum & centurion charge card customer also. you know what i mean.

100,000 customer x RM 1000 spending = RM 100,000,000 x 3% merchant fee + Daily Interest + Late Payment - RM 5mil Cash rebate, so what u think?

Got a credit limit increase recently i think, didnt notice it no SMS no Letter, nothing jsut login to M2U and notice the change. Btw not my card my wife one.

No wonder the new guideline say if banks need to increase the credit limit they need to get the customer to agreed 1st.
