QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Jun 8 2011, 05:11 PM) Your statement contradicts.. There are no way (actually very low possibility) for the machine to decline Amex only but accept Visa/Master for your so-called "line down".. If line down then it wont able to accept Visa/Master too, and all pump will down not only 1. Most of the petrol stations are using Leased Line for petrol pump because its stable and always-on connection to bank for approval..So no way Amex down but others ok. Why i know? Coz i have atleast 5 years experience in credit card terminals  For the counter terminal i think they are using different bank thats why it can accept Amex. good clarification |

The Esso in my hometown uses two different terminals, one for Amex only, another one for Visa/Master.
This station is still using the old design pump without card terminal. Credit card users must pay at counter. And, if you use Amex, you must wait until refilling completed then only you can make payment. If you pumped full tank and your Amex can't get approval, hah! Use other card or use CASH. You can say you have only this Amex and you don't bring a cent, please suck the petrol out of my tank. LOL.

Funny thing was I went to the counter and they asked me to go back to the pump and ask the attendant's help. Even he informed me that AMEX was accepted, and tried, but declined, that's when i decided to use my back-up card for petrol. Thank goodness for competiton.  |

QUOTE(DATO CHIKA @ Jun 9 2011, 04:12 PM) Hey guys, do u know that u use AMEX to buy gold will rewards u greatly?...Tips, u can compare at wah chan and tomei. wah chan can use amex but with 3% charges. Tomei can use Amex at any amount of gold purchased, no handling charges. Imagine u buy from tomei on sunday, 5x treats points and 5% cash rebate, of course up to rm50 only per month. Hey it is great oppurtunity oso to buy gold for investment and get rewards too. but sometime wah chan came out an unbeatable deal, rm 155 per gram for all gold when market rate is rm 167 per gram in selective outlet and days. Until tis weekend, wah chan in midvalley oso doing great deal, rm161 per gram fro all golds. try ask for minimal labour charges. i oso got a good deal there last time. But i still prefer tomei, hassle free and even charge low entry for 0 installement scheme. Now, this is how u maximise ur cards benefit. From my point of view, buying gold for investment is purely waste if you go to wah chan and tomei or other normal jewelery shop because their main target is to sell jewelery to end user (to wear purpose). They have huge differences between selling and buying price. For investment better go something like publicgold that offer small differences for buying and selling price. |

Consumers gold ornament is tradeable at a deficit of 20% minus labour charges (workmanship). Unless if the price increased to RM250 per gram, it is hardly you can make any money out of it. However, i will not deny it will happen because 10 years ago while i was still in jewelery line, the lowest for 916 was RM30.80. |
