Online transactions and auto-debit are all qualified for 5x TP (for MBB2 AMEX).

Yes. I can confirm that Starbucks does accept AMEX. I used to use my AMEX Green Charge Card all the time back in 2008.


Too bad the only participating outlet in KK is the one at the airport which one has to cleared immigration first

And so do all other Best Denki outlets.


Negative. They still do.

Hmm ... all the SHELL stations i've been to all accept AMEX.

This is because Rasa Ayamas has chosen not to accept AMEX. All Public Bank, CIMB Bank and Global Payments (HSBC) credit card processing terminals all can process AMEX, JCB, Diners Club etc. but most of their merchants choose to accept only VISA/MasterCard.

I learned this through an article published by a local financial magazine. It was a while back. Couldn't remember which magazine already. Or may be it was STAR, anyway, couldn't recall now

Besides AMEX, JCB and Diners Club, Public Bank and Global Payments (HSBC) credit card processing terminal also can process payments made by UnionPay too but then, it is also up to what's the merchant's agreement with the bank that provides the credit card processing terminal. I read that JCB's merchant fee is as high as AMEX's, hence why it is not so popular either.

No. It's not.

If you order Pizza online through www.pizzahut.com.my, you will be directed to this exact same page too should you choose to pay with credit card. Although AMEX is also listed, you may only pay using VISA or MasterCard.

I think it's RM50, not RM40.

Maybank took over all American Express business in Malaysia in 2006. Maybank is like the franchisee here.

Been there done that. You can't pay by AMEX.

Well, this is definitely a surprise !


Yes. AMEX is accepted at Kinokuniya.


Those chocolate shops ? Yes. Main terminal building and satellite terminal.

The use of the 50% birthday bonus is not restricted to voice-to-voice calls only but also can be used for internet, sms, mms, video calls etc.


The extra 50% reload bonus for your birthday is for DiGi prepaid users only. Up to a maximum payout of RM250 only.

I always reload only RM200. Can finish it fast if i were to call back to Malaysia from overseas which i won't normally do unless i'm desperate. I usually ask my parents to call to my hotel room instead

The 50% bonus will always be valid as long as your cellphone number is not expired. DiGi allows you to prolong the validity up to 365 days if i'm not mistaken. There is a one-time charge of RM30 for this service.

All the Guardian outlets i've been to all accept AMEX.

- KLCC
- Mid-Valley
- Warisan Square (KK)
- Gaya Street (KK)
- Central Plaza (KK)
- City Mall (KK)
- Centre Point (KK)

Yes but it shouldn't be a problem at those major department stores, bookstores, hotels, airlines etc.


Not quite true. This problem is not unique to Malaysia but to where AMEX originates from (USA). Even in Japan, AMEX is usually only accepted at those major stores just like here in Malaysia. I still remembered when Northwest Airlines was merged into Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines Worldperks credit card members in Japan made a big noise when they were told that their VISA card will be replaced by Delta Airlines AMEX.

If i'm not mistaken, all Sushi Tei outlets don't. The one at my place doesn't accept AMEX either.
