I redeemed 2000 Smiles points for RM30 petrol. I noticed that the RM30 I redeemed was entitled for another 30 Smiles points based on the receipt. Isn't Esso/Mobil generous. smile.gif

Today tried another station near JB town but also declined. End up use my MBB2 Amex at Caltex nearby. No problem with Caltex stations. Last I checked Caltex no points/ reward programme. Can anyone confirm?

So far Esso stations tried but declined:
1) Esso station towards Gelang Patah
2) Esso station below flyover to Jalan Skudai
3 and 4) Esso stations at Jalan Skudai towards Senai direction
5) Esso station before Tebrau flyover along Pasir Gudang Highway (towards Pasir Gudang direction)
6 and 7) Esso stations along Pasir Gudang Highway (towards Skudai direction).

Amex was declined at pump at all the stations above. Stations 1) and 2) declined at pump and counter. The rest, I din't ask at the counters.

Esso Malaysia is facing its own problem now since Exxon Mobile wants to sell Malaysia retail business and now looking for potential buyer.

It is already sold isn't it. To San Miguel from Philippine.

Approved? I'm not sure. Didn't really follow up. The last news I remembered is that the offer from San Miguel isn't that good. Sorry for being outdated.

Over time.
Offer price from San Miguel was not attractive but was the best to Exxon Mobil in their opinion. You are right. Technically, it is not sold yet as approval has not been obtained.

Back to CC, it seems only my area's Esso stations are affected. sigh.

I am switching to other brands if this persist.

"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.

Yes. For MBB2 Amex, the TP point will be 5X everyday without cap. You will earn additional 5% cash back if you use it during weekend, cap at RM50 per month.

I received a promotion SMS from Esso. It sounds like this:

"Get 500 bonus smiles points with minimum RM500 spent on Synergy petrol from 14Oct-12Dec using Smiles card (no. XXXXXXX). T&C apply. For info: 1300-880-323".

Good deal.smile.gif
