hey everyone, just to check with you. I plan to register for CFA examinations and I would like to pay with my Maybank2kad, amex. someone said that it's based on the transaction date and local time. Since US (CFA hq) is 12 hours slower than Malaysia. means if I pay below Malaysia time (Sunday night 12am).I will almost confirm get cash back and it should be a cheaper option than using my VISA card?

Thanks!

Yeah, hope it maintains. . Even if the 3% cashback capacity is used up, it is comparable with what offered by moneymaster so do not have to carry much cash.

In Taiwan, every bill must choose if card to be charged in Ringgit or $NT. Does it make any difference?

Of course it make a different, if you choose ringgit , the conversion rate is very unfavourable (about 3% higher ) and you might be charge a cross border fee as well! Always pay in the local currency and enjoy the lower rate offered by visa/ mc.
