Anyone bought laptop from All IT ikano b4? They told me Amex is not accepted

Ya, I would like to know as well. I plan to buy a LED monitor from ALL IT or Viewnet from LYP, I saw from first page it shows these two shops accept.
Wanna fully utilise weekend cash rebate.

Yea same. Saw on the first page as well. Luckily I called them to ask but I believe my requested laptop was already discounted. But again, why double standard?

All IT in LYP accepts AMEX. Done that but you need to haggle with them not to charge you on the 3% extra charge for CC usage.

Any tips how to haggle that? Isn't all its counters should have the same alignment?

Ikano All IT anyone lol

Fruitie, try the walk away method lol

At first they say they need to charge me 3% for my transactions. Then I told them I bought before with CC and it was waived, the cashier went to talked to the supervisor and in the end all was waived.

I think it depends on the margin they are getting for the items and from there they will deduce if they can absorb the cost or not.

Good tips, guys! I didn't know we can sort of "threaten" them.

How about Viewnet? Do we need to do the same thing too? Reason being these two stores are having quite competitive price. I always survey in these stores and they are just next to each other in LYP.

how much amex charging if we were to transfer fund to paypal in usd?

TGV cinema in Seremban 2 Jusco, Amex accepted logo at the counter but they use citybank terminal and cannot support my mbb Amex...

As in putting physical fund to paypal or paying people via paypal in USD? For me,its cheaper than bank forex rate after calculating 5X TP . Gonna get 100K TP in 1 Swipe later

let say i transfer rm 1k into paypal is there any charges on the transfer made?

Not sure. why would you even want to transfer RM1k to paypal. To pay locally in Malaysia? If i not mistaken, For local RM charges, you get the USD > convert to RM then convert it according to buying spread to USD again to be charged into amex

well i'm not buying anything from malaysia
and the currency will deal in usd too

still considering between google checkout and paypal service

for paying, not much different

does every Digi Centre accept AMEX? plan to buy bundle phone at there.

more people accepting paypal for me but sometime they ask you to bare with 2% surcharge. for small amount its ok la because bank commission also RM 25 for T/T

hah i using it to buy xunlei vip account only
still considering between these 2 payment option

I heard that they do accept AMEX but better confirm with them before making any purchases.

I tried purchasing bus ticket from Transnasional Online. From the drop down menu, AmEx is one of the accepted type of cards besides MasterCard and VISA.

Unfortunately when I tried putting in the security code (the front 4 digits), it only allows 3 digits to be inserted.

The most ironic part is they can show an illustration that AmEx uses the front 4 digits yet the column only accepts maximum 3 digits.

Long story short, I used my VISA to pay.

There goes my 16x5 = 80 points. Now only got 16 points.
