I just used my AMEX at the ESSO station in SS14 at the roundabout corner, didn't need to go inside lineup also.

Guardian at Jaya One (next to cold storage) does not accept amex. Chilli Rush in Jaya One does not accept amex.

Just used on Sat night at Ace Hardware @ The Curve for RM9.40 =p surprised got no minimum!

LDP just before KJ LRT station (just after the catholic church) there got big big advertisement.

ipay88 no longer support amex

Should be, the one on MRR2 just after jalan genting klang turning accepts.

Sui la, spent 300 ringgit at YS Studio SS15 for photography on Saturday, they say accept AMEX I excited liao, but couldn't go through end up having to use my OCBC Titanium.

Yesterday at Cold Storage Sunway Pyramid again try use, but network down since the morning.

Total this weekend I miss out on 17.50 in rebate =(

Effective benefit vs AMEX is +2.5% (plus works all week not just weekends).

For that +2.5% to be worth your GST, need to buy RM2000 worth of tickets =) I think I'll keep using AMEX, thanks.

If worst case (only weekday purchases allowed) then +7.5%, need to buy RM667 worth of tickets to cover GST, which is more doable in a year (not for me though).

I agree is specific to person personal usage.

However, I disagree on your calculation. You're comparing having 10% cashback to not having anything (hence RM500). I'm comparing having 10% cashback to having 2.5% (since your amex is maxed out) cashback, so your effective gain is 7.5%, as mentioned in my last line.

Put another way:-

Situation one - you only have AMEX and cashback maxed out so we only consider 2.5% - this one we consider as 'normal'

Situation two - you have AMEX and cashback maxed out, so you get HLB for 10%. You gain 7.5% (because if you did not take HLB, you would still have gotten the 2.5%). Hence your amount necessary to be spent is RM667 to cover the RM50 (which you would not have needed to pay without HLB).

Effective gain for me means you must compare two scenario, not just look at one only. In this case, you already got an AMEX card, then you add on HLB. If you didn't add on HLB, will you get any gains from AMEX? Of course right? So the real gain you getting from paying from the HLB is not the 10%, but its the 7.5% difference between HLB and AMEX.


Yes, you do. Your RM500 to cover RM50 is only valid if you assume that, if you don't have HLB, you won't be covering anything (0% cashback). That is not true because you still would have AMEX.

No. They accept on phone but will only process on weekday. Best way is go to MEP and pay over counter, just went the one in ss2

Abang ronnie did they process on Saturday? I paid manually using Amex at counter couple of weeks back, didn't realize can use m2u =( wait more than one hour!

No not accepted, I tried all kiosk while waiting my turn. Taiwan MPSJ

Thanks! Won't need to walk into MPSJ premises anymore

Some time back started to accept liao, remember reading it.

Bagus! Time to pay now (hope get 5‰) and not kena tipu by transaction move to Monday

I can confirm paid Sunday morning immediately got the SMS. More rewards for me =)

Fortunately Harvey Norman don't do that, just bought ipad there on Sat =) Amex card can keep in drawer for this month liao

That's assuming you're spending on weekend. On weekday then not worth it liao.

If you are not getting 5% cash back then you're paying 5% more for 2.5% worth in TP. Smart decision?
