I doubt they will charge me since the CS mentioned that it will be free. But then again, like you said, they may charge me for it. But never mind, Tol Free and can call and complain until they reverse it, haha. Wonder if our conversation was recorded? If call MBB marketing, conversation is recorded.
since you got both cards, take both of them when go you traveling and your problem solved unless the merchant don't accept both cards.

sorry correction...i got amex and mastercard tongue.gif
amex i will use it on weekends for its rebates but is it encouraged to use mastercard during overseas? i mean does it widely used worldwide than visa? let say if i travel to thailand or cambodia?

Read up Gen-X posts / blogs. It explains it all, he took all the pains to write the answers. At least show some appreciation for it by taking your effort to read it and coming in here taking a short cut to just ask. Question has been asked many times and continuously in the year since the MBB2 card was launched.

i read it but did not mention answers of my questions. I'm asking on visa and mastercard of this MBB card.

Thank you for reading my blog. Well I mentioned that for shopping MC better since we get free gifts. Now, the thing is what is the diff in your case? You already got the MC in hand. If you worry so much, go get another Visa card and problem solved.

Thanks for yr advice GenX. Initially i applied for visa but in the end i got mastercard instead. I got these cards pre-approved since i'm MBB user so there's no forms required and it was handled by CS at Ipoh branch.
I was worried that mastercard cant be used in some countries cos the purpose i applied CC just for my overseas spending. Was thinking to apply UOB visa card....Lady's card? hmm.gif

I like you, worry too much and plan in advance, just like me  tongue.gif  I don't think you will face any major problems with merchants accepting MasterCard as most places that accept Visa also accept MasterCard.

As for UOB Lady's card, the overseas conversion rate is higher than MBB MC even with 2X UNIRinggit. Unless the card can save you money with the discount at a particular merchant in Malaysia or Singapore. But if you really want a UOB card, look at the new revamp One Card. Or alternatively get a UOB Debit Card to withdraw cash from ATM but you got to maintain RM500 in the account and there is a RM12 fee for overseas withdrawal.

MasterCard good for shopping, it's the official card for the Great Singapore Sale and Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival. click here to read my article.

I believe Dominos Pizza don't have CC terminals at the outlet. All payment by cash.  whistling.gif

I would like to ask about agoda as well...if i book on agoda on sat will i get the points and cash back?
Besides agoda, what other hotel booking website that accepts Amex?

If they had a quota, they should mention it upfront in the Promotion T&C.
It was pull out in the very last minute.

Maybe they realised that they didn't make any profit from that promo but it was stated clearly in TnC tat it's valid till end of Oct...a bit disappointed...
