Why 81 pages is because newbies like you like to ask before searching for the answers

not an excuse. there is a forum search function and you can choose to display as posts. you can even search this topic only with the search box on the lower left of this page.

i swipe my Amex at Jusco and Padini on the same day, only received sms on Jusco's transaction. damn funny. it may be Jusco is using MBB terminal

Not an excuse.Just use the forum search function.

Search for GST and u will get your answer.

Recently, MBB increase CL for me, I'm not sure does it a permanent increase or just temporary? Anywhere to check? or hav to give them a call again!?

I'm do request for a temporary but no notifications/phone call indicate the increase pun on that week. Coz usually once request approved, they will give us a call. So I wonder does it a temp/perma increase!?

hi all...just now, i paid all outstanding amount for my amex but it doesnt appears at the amex acount page...the transaction only appears at my saving account..

does the system updated later or this mean problem?

will be updated later

Haha, trust you have to be best info on this topic. I'll read that thread to know more.


I'm glad they are wrong.

haha, no lah, he is not pissed off but doing what he has been entrusted to do, which is point to you in the right direction in a direct manner. Nowadays the members here not so "bad" already ( I guessed many of us gave up repeating to newbies to do a search), few years back, you ask a question which has been discussed before, you be flamed left right center. Bro, you got to understand also, if everyone like you just post without doing a search first, then all the threads here will have more pages.

Anyway, added your question to FAQ at post#2 so next time someone else ask the same question I can flamed him left right center for not doing a search and for being lazy by not even reading the 1st page, hahaha

To ALL: I did a transaction in SG today with my MBB VI and received SMS from MBB after half hour or so.

i only pay rm2k plus for the professional exam ppr. not the whole course, thats why wanna earn the point to waive GST. i had read some of your article, i would say it is interesting. anyway thanks for those references

I don't see this reason as any basis to your demands for quick information. You equate your approach as your interpretation of sharing but I will will quickly point out that it is a display of arrogance and a display of your personal attitude.

As many would have pointed out, you could have put in some effort to search and still get some answer although not in the lightning speed that you want. If you think your time is valuable ... your time is not the only one valuable here. Everyone's time here is valuable and by giving you the sliver platter privilege of Google like information - don't you think it is unfair to others as well ?

Google is free and Google need some efforts to search also. We also freely contribute our knowledge (as what you term as sharing) on a volunteer basis. To expect Premier treatment is very unfair to everyone else just because you think your time is the only time that is valuable here. Ours is not ? And we have to answer you just because you justify your request? I think not ...

You may still defend your actions ... I will let it be but I won't allow such request like what you did to propagate in this section of this forum.

RM50 GST is not a lot. I'm not justifying the GST but you should weigh carefully your chase for rebate / points vs what you need to pay. Especially when you are using the card overseas ... I personally will not do it because I can get back the rebate via local spending which I will be charged in RM vs in overseas currency (which costs more) as per what you were considering.

yes i understood what u are trying to emphasize here. anyway as per mentioned in previous posts, as long as my transaction date and posting date are dated during weekend, then i will be entitled the 5% cash back right, i think this will cover the surcharge fee 2-3%..n i earn the 10k point to waive the GST. this is what i thought.

You have the base idea correct but it is only an ideal situation which may not materialize in reality.
This is because ... you have control over the transaction date but not the posting date. The posting date depends on when the merchant actually make their claims to the bank. If you can guarantee that the merchant does post your transaction on the weekend then you'll get your rebate. i would like to reiterate that transaction date and posting date may be days apart or might happen on the same day.

You are still talking about using your MBB2 AMEX overseas right ? What determines whether or not you are entitled for the 5% weekend cash rebate is the transaction date. The transaction date must falls on either Saturday or Sunday. Posting date will however, determine you will get the rebate this month or next month.

For example, you bought something in USA on 31st December 2011 which is a Saturday, thus making you eligible for the MBB2 AMEX weekend 5% cash rebate. However, the payment was only posted to your account a few days later and the posting date is recorded as x Jan 2012 in your account. The 5% weekend cash rebate will be credited to your account only next month and is counted towards your 5% weekend rebate for January 2012 instead of December 2011.

Bro, tell you what, since you want the points, go swipe RM1K and see if you get the 5% cash back on weekends with the online payment and then post the outcome at the thread hye started to benefit all. And from then on, you and me can know the right answer once and for all. The remaining RM1K swipe with the Visa or MC to compare.

I renewed my car insurance with Etiqa yesterday using MBB2 AMEX yesterday through phone. The agent requested for my 4-digit CID number to be given. Is this normal?

I just give them AMEX card 15 digit numbers only.

Used my MBB 2 Amex card on 31st Dec 2011 for Getha. Surprisingly the transaction is still "floating" according to MBB customer service, pending from mechant's claim. Unfortunately also is that (according to MBB customer service), the rebate from that transaction will not be counted in Dec 2011 or Jan 2012 rebate limit since it is still "floating".

Is this true?
