cempedaklife is correct, OCBC TMC is a better card than UOB in general as it earns 5% for more kind of spending. The reason why I mentioned only UOB One Card to anangryorc is because I got no idea on his fixed income as he mentioned allowance to achieve income RM3K/month. But yah, if you guys can proof your income close to RM36K/yr or more, OCBC much better card.

THIS IS CONFIRMED - YOUR SMILES CARD PROBLEM, NOT AMEX!

i faced this before, change new smiles card, problem solved

u can transfer points between cards (using form).
but what i did was redeem all the points from old card till finish (last is 300 = use at mart)

The PROBLEM is not because of AMEX not accepting @ Pump, and yea it's My SMILES problem

The problem is AMEX aren't really accepted on Counter, Replying to erry-'s message of asking us to swipe inside, where 8 out of 10 station's don't accept AMEX Swipes INSIDE the Counter

+ I Never say it's AMEX problem, i have Said that it's the Smiles that makes my Pumping "sales Canceled", despite it has been approved, so yea, it's Smiles Card pRoblem...

What i am saying is where if you wanna pay using AMEX THROUGH COUNTER, MOSTLY not accepted... only through Pump.

So if Unfortunately you meet with a faulty C.C. Terminal @ pump, Don't bother trying to swipe your AMEX inside the counter, change other pumps.

I think you guys need better Reading >.< I Did say properly it only rejected my sales After C.C. Approval.. just blame myself that i wanna the Point also, AMEX Point not enough >.<

So if you don't have smiles, then you don't have this problem, only when your smiles Card is Acting Weird, then mayb... Try again?

boony, you can try inserting smiles card first then only insert cc. last time my smiles card got problem before. do try.

ok... >.<

i believe it says payment card first.... ~_~

and normally the "rewards cards first" only applies to bonuslink... But i shall give it a try if that's the case

after inserting smiles card, the screen will still prompt for your payment card. And when you insert credit card and get the approval, the system won't ask for your Smiles card anymore. Most importantly, Smiles Points are awarded.
trust me, I have done this.

+1, i am also doing do that now for some time already

i have never have prob swipe amex inside (kajang/bangi area + mrr2 + gambang toll plaza pahang).
coz sometimes i just buy drink + petrol so pay together inside.

what suprised me is, at my amex statement, the bill is separate!
example petrol rm90 + drink rm2.60, so swipe and sign rm92.60
but later at bill, rm90 and rm2.60 are different transaction.
i even bought a lot things at mart and later at the bill all the amount are separate!

yes
at esso mobil station
the smile card and credit card can inserted whichever frist
i tried just now
successful

Hey guys

i reicieved a SMS from Smiles (Esso) that there's Double Points Discounts or something, but didn't really see it when pumping fuel this afternoon

any iddeas on the T&C or something, @ esso smiles website also nothing mentioned...

Esso Smile points is great but the gasoline is not so great almost everytime I pump Esso, my car feel heavier...

To me, getting the right fuel for my car is far more important than getting the miserable points. (about 1.5% cashback equivalent)

for me, all fuels feels the same except and except if i pump in ron97, else all tastes the same, so might as well get the best in value then What i see and Pump

if you calculate FC over a long term, you will know the difference.

Is Smile card available for supplementary card?

No I had this query before, but Smiles says, no supplementary card.
Best gas? I am pumping Fuelsave95 from Shell, i prefer it, on top of that can collect Bonuslink points. Second is BHPetrol' 95. Lastly, is Esso/Mobil's 95.

I avoid Petronas's as it has the worst loyalty program and it's petrol finishes bery fast.

no. but u can combine points from multipe cards (need to fill a form, each owner of the card need to sign).
