You have a point there too.
But I only use it during weekends to maximise the weekend cash rebate and not forgetting the 5xTP.
From my recent transaction, it shows RM 3.047 = USD 1.00
Still OK la...
If normal days, I think VISA/MasterCard is a better choice.


By the way guys, I need your help. My statement date is every month's 24th and due date is the following month's 13th.
I just want to pay for transactions that captured before 24th. As for the rest, I'll pay in next month since those are considered next month's transactions, no point clearing them now.

01-Sep-2011 01-Sep-2011 VINCCI JUSCO SEREMBAN 2 SEREMBAN MY RM44.10
01-Sep-2011 31-Aug-2011 CASH REBATE RM3.50
25-Aug-2011 20-Aug-2011 PAYPAL USA US US$23.00 RM70.08
24-Aug-2011 24-Aug-2011 STARBUCKS-SOOKA SENTRAL KUALA LUMPUR MY RM28.60
19-Aug-2011 19-Aug-2011 PASTA ZANMAI MID VALLEY KUALA LUMPUR MY RM106.70
17-Aug-2011 16-Aug-2011 PP*xxxxCODE USA US US$1.95 RM5.96
01-Aug-2011 31-Jul-2011 CASH REBATE RM17.74
31-Jul-2011 31-Jul-2011 YE OLDE SMOKEHOUSE HOTEL CAMERON HIGHLMY RM49.30

I'll pay those in bold, how about the cash rebate of RM 3.50 can I offset when I pay before 13th? I always have this doubt so far I didn't offset and leave it for next month's bill.

Thanks for the info! Now I know which figure to pay.
I actually manual calculated all this while luckily no interest charged to me. Phew.

It seems M2U will capture the PayPal payment in next month's billing.

Because the statement balance doesn't include the above transaction, must be due to the posting date (after 24th).

Oh, so no interest will be charged eh? Cool.

I got called twice from AmEx, first for my Dell purchase and when I linked my PayPal account...

I bought Flickr Pro account but they didn't call, much cheaper than linking my AmEx to Paypal.
Not sure on which basis they will call and verify.

It is basically the same thing but I think now by default it is MasterCard...
I chose for VISA and caused a lot of hassles for me (i.e. sent me the wrong card).

Me too. That's why we didn't get free iPad2 from Maybank.

Yes, tried before and I got 5% cash back.

Yes, I bought my stuffs on 20th August (Saturday) but only posted on my online statement on 25th (Thursday).
Luckily they captured the transaction date on 20th.

Maybank is very stingy when it comes to increasing CL...

MasterCard + AmEx?

Why not, they are widely accepted?
How can you get VISA on a MC and AmEx?

Yes, as long as that the station accepts AmEx, then you will get the rebate.

You guys are so mean wei.

Service Centre definitely cannot get la, it takes weeks.
Go to 1U and get it done within 60 minutes.
Just make sure you bring all the required documents and you are off to good.

Mine takes about 2 1/2 working days.

Yes, I also went through the route. The convenient part is all documents are not needed and etc.
But the drawback is the waiting time is dreadfully. You gotta do constant follow up with them.

Yes. Though I have constantly reminded them not to deliver it to my hometown, get it sent to my office instead... Yet, eventually those cards were delivered to my hometown address.

First and foremost, Dell will not process during this weekend. (self-experience)
Secondly, AmEx is not eligible for Dell installment.

You PayPal is registered with AmEx?

It is not eligible for transaction in MYR only in USD.
