for the mere 5x TP or 2.5% rebate

Oh yea, if like that do it during weekend... hmm.gif

Just a word of caution, even with the 5X treat points, you are paying USD with AMEX which will have a higher than Visa/Master exchange rate.
*
Erm, I think I'm aware about the higher exchange rate, but is it very huge difference?
If the 2.5% rebate can't cover back, I better use my normal VISA/MasterCard. laugh.gif

I think it is not much different if you use it on a weekday. Furthermore, you are paying cash for points which is not worth I guess. But if you use it on a weekend then is definitely a bonus.

So far, all my Paypal I bought with Amex has the same transaction date as to the day I purchase it. But to be safe, I always buy it on a Saturday night tongue.gif

Thanks for the tips! Yes, not worth to pay cash to exchange for points. I will use it on this Saturday's night.
Isn't foreign currency only 2.5% weekend rebate?

Guys, for those that linked their AmEx with their PayPal, please help to enlighten me as I'm still new to this whole PayPal world.

So I managed to get my card verified and paid for the Flickr Pro account just now, it went successful and I finally managed to extend my Pro account with no issues. rclxms.gif

Then I checked back my transaction details via PayPal and noticed this particular transaction is still stated as "pending", is this normal? I'm just afraid PayPal decides to retract the payment. laugh.gif

I see, thanks for the information.
How long does this usually take?
I hope the posting and transaction date can be captured correctly, so I'll get the weekend cash back. biggrin.gif

I can safely say that my case with Maybank for the Flickr Pro account is closed. AmEx fellows asked me to monitor my statement on M2U until last weekend, if I'm being charged, it should then appear on the online statement.

I last checked about 5 minutes ago, it is not appearing there. So, Flickr Pro has already reversed back everything. rclxms.gif

Phew. What a relief!

Immediately I paid using PayPal, then I got my stuff.
Until today the status is still "pending" in my PayPal account, so I can't tell you how much they charge me yet. smile.gif

did u need to verify your card with paypal before u can pay with paypal?

Yes, after registered it takes about 2-3 days to get the code appeared on your M2U, then you can verify your account.
I have verified mine. smile.gif

Hi Guys,

Just want to ask, how long is it for me to get, and can use the card if i go today? I mean, if i went to the card center maybe at One Utama. I've read earlier post stating that the card could be done in just 1 hour. Is it so guys? Appreciate your answer. Cherrss..hehe.. notworthy.gif

Yes, you can use the card immediately once you receive it.

Has anyone bought laptop from Dell online store on weekend and managed to get rebate?
*
Yes and no.
Yes, I bought a laptop from DELL 3 months ago.
No, all transactions will be processed only on weekdays, so technically those transactions will not be captured as weekend's purchase...
