Yes, rebates are based on transaction dates.

Yup, no harm to do so. I swiped it once for around RM6 too. I think usually the cashiers are ok with it, but the customers behind would probably be cursing us.

Yup. that's true for me too. Rule:

To qualify for 5% rebate, it is based on transaction date
To decide which month the rebate will be given, it is based on posting date.

AMEX, 5x TP as long as you use AMEX. Rebates only on weekends.

The 4-digit code is the CVV. AMEX uses this, unlike Visa/MC which has the CVV at the back of the card.

No m2u bill payments available for AMEX so far.

I applied via email, and i got RM4 discount each month.

Streamyx 1mbps. Actual bill per month is 111.05 after tax. Now i'm paying 106.80 per month after tax.

Yes, there's this "cukai perkhidmatan" thing, but it's only a few cents.

amex.customercare@maybank.com.my

They mentioned 3-4 weeks. Not too sure when it took effect because my bills are dated around 11-15th each month, while i submitted the request at the beginning of August. So I still had to pay August's bills myself. September bills onward on auto-debit.

You can try to go to TMPoint to change the name. I think your sister got to be there to change it. If not, the other way is to cancel your current subscription, and register for a new account.

Loyalty card is usually for rewards/benefits (points, discount, promotion). A card with value in it is more like a prepaid card. So I guess tifosi's term is more appropriate.

The agent who served me last time told me if i'm a degree holder, basic 2k can apply d wo.

1.6k monthly, you won't get any issuers to approve you. It'll come to <20k per annum...

I think all Maxis centers and MEPs are opened at least on Saturdays. Those in shopping malls should be available everyday.

Also, the link ronnie provided contains the list of Maxis center that most of us tried to pay with AMEX (regardless of acceptance).

Try again at a later time. It's always like this in the morning. I usually check after lunch hour. Probably the updating for reward points is done around this time of the day.

I remembered reading somewhere in this forum that Maybank offers the lowest exchange rate. How true is that? And how much extra does AMEX charges?

I got that too, stating that the amount is RM200. I was shocked to see it at first...but then I realised that it should be the pre-credited amount, just like how debit cards work. Hope this is true. Anyone who got the SMS care to verify this too?

Yes, same goes for me.

Look at transaction date, not posting. Posting date might affect which month the cashback will be given.

e.g. Transaction date is on a Sunday, but posting date is 1st of February. You'll get your cashback for that transaction the following month.
