you forgot to get BHP card and earn another 0.9%?

not maybe, but definately must! brows.gif

since uob give 5% cashback on all petrol + 2% cashback at bhp, i just use bhp.
plus, got 1 bhp station at kajang, will give extra rewards points!
the station need to swipe inside, the pump machine dont have credit card terminal.

what i get is, pump rm30, the rewards card (i'm using genting), the attendance swipe for 40 or 45 points.
pump rm60, get 80 or 85 or 90 points.
pump rm90, got 100 or 110 points.

btw i pump in block of rm30 to enter their contest biggrin.gif

"With Maybankard 2 American Express, I will get 5X Treats Points points everyday at all Petrol Stations but Petronas generally don't accept Amex. The 5X TP is equivalent to about 2.5% cash back in terms of voucher. Therefore adding this 2.5% with Esso Smiles points, I'll get 4% cash back. So you can see that OCBC + Smiles Card combination is better on weekdays. "

If I used this card to pump diesel or petrol at Esso, I will receive more TP? Only interested in TP since can change for cool gadgets. Currently using the Maybank 2 VISA for fuel at Petronas.

if u want to pump at esso, use maybankard 2 AMEX, dont use the visa ~

if u still want to use petronas, go apply maybank petronas visa, so u can get 5x tp at petronas, but another rm50 gst laugh.gif

i dont know why u guys need exact amount.

me myself, i prefer not exact amount, easy to track the record.

besides, like esso/mobile smiles card, if u stop at >0.05, will get points rounded up to 0.1

example stop at 90.36 then will get 90.40 points brows.gif

I would suggest ocbc titanium card. My fave.
5% on petrol, groceries, bills and dining. 1% on everything else. No points though. Capped at rm50. Go to the thread for more info.

Btw, ur toll is a bit high. Do use tngo and register it. U get some discount, forget how much if u swipe 80 times a month solely on tolls.
*
yes since petronas, go for ocbc titanium.

and for toll, get tng and reload it @ tng hub (e.g kl sentral) with ur ocbc and u get back 1%.

What i hate is these few months, After Pre-set @ Pump, and after C.C Approval, then when i insert Smiles, Tarik Balik, then Say " See Cashier To use Card"

Imagine 3 times Fail on the Smiles Card Authentication, what will happen...
*
THIS IS CONFIRMED - YOUR SMILES CARD PROBLEM, NOT AMEX! notworthy.gif

i faced this before, change new smiles card, problem solved icon_rolleyes.gif

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) laugh.gif

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

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