Am i in danger?

Was trying to pay something thru paypal with my Amex but it fail so i called MBB CS.
That fella ask for my card number, then subsequently ask for the 4 digit 'security code'.
I asked why the security code, he replied 'to check'.
After i provided the number... somehow the line got cut off after a little while. (Is this normal? Asking for security code?)

I called back shortly after and this time it is another CS that answered, she enable the online transaction without asking for my security code.

This makes me wonder why the hell that fella ask for my security code

1st time when i called i was driving and lazy to call back after the call was disconnected.
Later when i called back, i just reached restaurant for dinner and my gf was bugging me with what to order.. so didn't really come into my mind. It was during the dinner and after processing my paypal transaction only I started to wonder about it.

 

I think people are confused between buying stuff using CC through the phone and calling MBB CS for an issue. When buying stuff, getting asked for the CVV number is normal. When calling CS, this question should never arise.

Guys,

Let say i buy somehing at rm100 using cc, then i pay immediately right after i get back home on the aame day, will i earn threat points?

Ah ha! You caught me red-handed, Bear with me as I was trying to clear my piling tasks.

Yes, mine was for purchase. So far no CS asks me on CVV before.

So guys...anybody here got a problem booking hotels in agoda using Amex? Twice (different transaction) my card got rejected even putting the correct CVV etc...had to instead use Mastercard and miss out on the 5% weekend and 5xTP

anyone knows?

Can i use the amex to autodebit the monthly payment of prudential insurance? Then got additional charges or not?
Currently the monthly payment is autodebit through my saving account and  will charge RM 1 for each transaction.

Not entirely relevant but to those who shop at Tesco, if u spend >RM100 this weekend, you'll get a RM10 voucher (All Tesco's) and 2 RM2.50 vouchers (Only certain Tesco's). That'll give you essentially 22.5 % returns if you were to spend RM100 with your M2Amex at Tesco this weekend !

P/S: You need to have a Tesco ClubCard to get the vouchers

Just get my MBB 2 cards(mastercard as i request) =)

This is my first credit card, want to ask i need to have a 3/4 digits for online transaction right ? (not the 3/4 digit on the card itself)

how to get that?

and i need to sign behind the card right ?

last time when i hvn get my credit card, i use my sis card to buy AA ticket. I key in all info from the card, include the ccv, but after that still need to enter a 3-4 digit code, that code is not on the card.

my question is how to get that code ?

Is the 10K TP GST offset is available today?
I asked at 2 different MBB branches in Dec2012, but their answers were negative.

got the 10k tp for the VI 2 weeks after i received the card.

have you redeem the GST with your treat points before paying rm50?

Errm..just wanna ask something here....I wish to apply for this maybankard 2 gold card.....and I read from the blog that the fastest way to get the card is going to 1U Maybank Card center....Do I still need to provide all the details mention even though I'm a maybank2u user??
