BHP SS2 (Near SS2 starbucks) and BHP Damansara Jaya (beside Petronas along LDP) accepts Amex - pay at counter

BHP Kayu Ara also accepts Amex by paying at counter (not the small kiosk outside need go all the way in)

Accepted (sort of):
BHP Sri Petaling - Morning only. Need to swipe inside. But when I go it was down. Staff say Amex unreliable. That morning only works 1-2 hours then down.


Not Accepted:
BHP Happy Garden

Dafuq? In the counter is it? You tried at the pump?

BHP never accept Amex at pump as far as I know, its always pay at counter. Then I dulan d, i went to another BHP nearby Old Klang Road. They accept it with no problem. Finally I found a BHP that accept Amex "near" my house d.

This BHP is opposite Petron (used to be Esso) nearby the Police Station. There is another BHP opposite, that does not accept Amex.

Wrong place to discuss. Better go to the Mach thread. But yes, its HLB card. I used to buy TGV with Citibank (promo RM10/ticket till 31st Dec) & GSC with Amex (7.5% weekend cashback)

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).

Well like i always tell ppl, CC is very specific on the person personal usage. In my case most of the time i max out my AMEX cashback, leaving me with only 2.5% cashback. Also your analysis is flawed because u assume a few things:

1. That Amex cashback is still available.
2. You cannot calculate 10-7.5=2.5%, hence i need to spend 2k of movie ticket doh.gif


Correct calculation is I only need to spend RM500 of movie ticket to get RM50 cashback vs Amex RM667

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).

Your statement from top to bottom makes no sense.

"You're comparing having 10% cashback to not having anything (hence RM500)."

No, I am comparing 10% vs 7.5% as it should be. Where to get the result for RM50 cashback is RM500 vs RM667.

"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."


"Effective gain"? I think you need to define to me what you mean by "effective gain", because as far as i know effective gain means after you minus all the cost, your final amount is known as effective gain. BUT there is no such thing as "effective gain" when comparing two product. This is not call effective gain.

If 10%-7.5% (as in your first calculation) = 2.5% is what you call effective gain. Explain to me then, this is 2.5% of what?? How do you calculate in monetary form this 2.5% gain?

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

No, this is call weekday spending on Amex

"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."

Again, what?? 10-2.5=7.5% gain.... So i need to spend 667 to cover rm50?? shakehead.gif

"(which you would not have needed to pay without HLB)"

???? doh.gif

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.
