After saw the contest I just know petronas start accepting amex. Its been few years since petronas last accepted amex for petrol

You can use AMEX to pay for Maxis bill. You just need to give them a call by dialing 123 on your Maxis mobile, then tell them your phone number/account number and that you want to pay by AMEX. They will then tell you that another payment officer will call you back within the same day.

Then later when the Maxis officer calls you back, you just provide your AMEX card details and it's transacted on the spot (sms notification received even before the officer ends the call).

You can do this on Saturday, if you want to maximise the 5% cashback. Just make sure you call between 8am and 1pm on Saturday. On Sundays the AMEX payment department is closed.

Been doing this every month for the past 13 months to pay for my company's Maxis bill which averages RM2.8k so I just time the payment on a Saturday each month.

the last i tried .... the CS told me the payment department is not open on weekends...

weird

Just adding my 2 cents regarding payment of TNB bills using AMEX via Maybank2U.

Once you make your payment, the notification SMS is received immediately, and the amount paid is added immediately to your Card Outstanding Amount.

However, there is a payment cap of RM1,000 per week per TNB account via Maybank2U (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Therefore, if your TNB bill is more than RM1k, you may have to wait one more week before you can pay again, thus in this case don't wait till it's almost the due date before pay your TNB bill this way.

It would thus also be good to hold your horses if you're already thinking of terminating the Express Autopay while your TNB's monthly average bill is a few thousand ringgit, so you don't need to spread out your payments over a few weeks.

I would like to also point out that the capped amount for AMEX Express Autopay for TNB bill is now increased to RM5,000.00 (since middle of 2012) although it is still written on the Express Autopay application form as RM3,000.00. See attached screenshot below for proof. I have even had TNB auto debiting my AMEX for up to RM4999.90 in the past few months.

But of course, if you have a large TNB bill amount and have access to a Kedai TNB which accepts AMEX, then you won't have to bother with the Express Autopay.

When did you last call them? My last call to Maxis was on Saturday morning 30th March 2013.

May be because I'm Enterprise user?

I thought Machines stopped accepting AMEX a few months back. Can anyone confirm if Machines start accepting AMEX again?

somewhere last year...i tried only once, maybe the CS was not as well educated....

Yea. Machinese still aceept amex. I just bought an ipad mini with amex in machines mid valley

Thanks for the tips. Just registered a new Maxis line last week, will start doing this.
I was thinking to use my OCBC Ti, looks like this is a better deal with the 5xTP.

That's sad. I used many times in Viewnet and All IT Hypermarket, they accepted.
Well, last used was this year's January if I'm not mistaken.
I have a few IT stuff need to buy, maybe I'll go again soon after the election week.
