means the bank monitoring system can be bypass by performing a small transaction 1st only big transaction? never heard this before..

paypal charge $1 before the amount entered (example $1000) and later will refund back that $1.

this is use for payment with paypal without the card need to be registered to the paypal account.

means the culprint didnt use the card to activate or add fund.
but use the card to just purchase directly and choose pay with paypal but dont have enough balance in the paypal acc.

icic..thx for the info

How long does amex/maybank charges for oversea transaction will be reflected in my transaction? Has bought something from Aus last friday but still not in my maybank transaction history.

Does anyone know and care to recommend me any tyre shop in Klang Valley (Gombak, Bt Caves, Setapak,Wangsa Maju) who accept AMEX card and they are also good in pricing?? Thanks.

Check out Silverstone Tyres. Please confirm with them if they accept AMEX.

in this case, your income tax form will tell.
If you didn't include rental income in your tax assessment, then sorry lor.

"which can rent" = Have you rented it out yet ?

Nonsense! Don't simply say if you are not certain of how the system works as you'll be responsible for confusing and misleading the readers here.
Small amount also can be flagged "RED" by the bank, it all depends on their Fraud Detection System. Similarly large amount also can be flagged "RED" or "OK" by the fraud detection system. The fraud detection system is used by the bank as the primary fraud detection system for cc, calls are made for verification purposes.

As the cc info by Bata is made public online, it is a different story altogether.

And as mentioned, the small amount is used by PayPal for verification.

If Yes then OK ... if No then you can't add it in.

to do this, normally they wil ask for your EA to see if you declared this as your yearly income for the previous year.

Which is the CVV number for MBB2Amex, the 4-digit no at the front or the 3-digit no at the back?

Just realise that my 2 sisters' and my 4-digit nos are the same.

Maybe should buy 4-D.

That statement was not meant to confuse or mislead readers here. Apologies if you thought I had done so. Like you said, there are many different rules set by different banks in their Fraud Detection system and it all depends on their past experiences as well as other methods where they collect the information to setup their detection rules. But by no means these are perfect systems and they can't detect everything. Fraudsters will always one way or another try to get through these systems and the fact is, they are successful at times.

In addition, as for the Paypal amount for verification, you won't usually get back exactly the same amount due to currency fluctuation and transaction fees.

hi,

pls advice whether i shud change to maybank 2 gold card...

i currently having mbb flex and amex gold card..

ask yourself, would you benefit more if you were to transact using the Maybankard Dua compared to your existing card. For example, the last 10 places you use your existing Amex you earned 2X or 5X points.
