so what, the points are evergreen, better than to redeem it with 1000 points

however, the points "cash value" depreciates over time.
For example, "1000 pts = RM15 fuel " becomes "950 pts = RM10 fuel".

Not for 3000 point lah. My point was better to wait up to 9 months in snigapoe case and get 1.5% back instead of about 1%.

Must be you leg lighter when you use Shell

I'm afraid ExxonMobil will revise the "3000pts=RM45 fuel" item very soon.
Now, 950 pts = RM10.
Perhaps, 3000 pts can only redeem RM35 fuel in near future.

Then you go start a Facebook protest and we all go Like it

so u do not feel the difference in term of power and distance for shell and esso?

go create fb protest if this really occuring
and i will be the first to support it if i changing to esso fuel near future

I don't know how to start a protest in FB...

may be just start a page kot...
since i never had my fb acc lolx
but if u open up in fb i will just register and support ur protest in fb

IF really depreciate, Shout hardly lu..

Based on what i've see, why they changed the points is because... motorcyclist Pumps around RM20 per week, RM80 Per month, and only can get around 1k point per year. So If 1k = RM15, they will be happy, and it will be a LOT of redemption going on for motorists.

But if set to 3k - RM45, motorcyclist will take UP to 3 years, and EVEN if they Achieve the 3k, it is IMPOSSIBLE to feed the motorcycle With RM45.. Except SuperBike... But if SuperBike, it doesn't apply on my Theory, more towards those with kawasaki / Kap-Chai's

It also Indirectly Affects the low petrol consumption owners on point's savings (those who uses less then RM60 per week, RM240 per month, and RM2880 per year.. With approximate calculation, They also can't Hit 3k Points in a Month, and EVEN if they do..To Pump RM45 Per month Would be harsh for them


what i scare is later 5000 = RM75, and that will be HARSH for those who everytime pumps lesser then RM60... or small cars like kancil and Kelisa would be Forced to claim EITHER the lower points, or Take on Ron97 to fully utilize the RM75... >.<

Nevertheless, i believe @ this point of time, If the Smarts 1% cashback + 5% petrol cashback from UOB One Card is still valid, + BHP 0.9% Cashback = 6.9% Cash Rebate. This would be good for those who pump More on Weekday's basis. (Compared to 5% uob + 1.5% Esso Points, But Lower then AMEX 2.5% point + 5% cash rebate + 1.5% esso points)

Just that caps are on RM60 for UOB card... >.<

keep your OCBC for other thing's else if you are not utilizing it for fuel

Guys, would like to ask if any of you knows how to set credit limit when pumping petrol? Many years back, I remembered seeing an attendant pressing the amount I wanted to pump, and then used a credit card which he took out from his pouch. So I assume it's possible to do so?

i tried to use amex card at caltex station today
but seems that it take infiniti time to read my card
finally decided to pay by cash instead

anyone facing the problem?

i tried with mastercard also the same

how long they will hold the rm200?
its been a week now and they still holding my rm200...

sure machine fault. did you ask the cashier inside?

at the end i give up and go to other station instead

by right shouldn't be tht long, its a day or 2 the most

it can go up to 7 days

Yesterday i used Maybank Visa Debit Card at shell petrol pump to pump petrol but after coming home and checking my maybank account I saw
PRE-AUTH DEBIT RM200.00

after calling CS they said after 2 ~ 3 days my money will get refunded in my account.

so does it mean every time I pump petrol I get RM200 cut ?

and after few days get my money back ?



or was it because of Sunday ?

everytime
if you don't want to let them hold RM200, swipe at the counter or preset the amount at the pump
