ok.

this term of "call-to-open-slot" is not official. coz i had this experienced in malay, the cs just said "KAMI KENA 'BUKA' DULU AMEX KALAU NAK BUAT PEMBAYARAN DI WEBSITE NI". so rather than just said "call-to-open", i prefer "call-to-open-slot"

previously, i try to make payment at a website (refer attachment below), but cannot proceed. after tried it twice, my friend (next to me) who had purchased at this website before said need to call bank 1st to "allow" the transaction, and not long after that (less than 5 mins), maybank cs did call me and asking if i really make the payment at the website (company name), and i said yes. then the cs told me that i need to call them to open transaction for that website (company name) to avoid scam. so i just ask them open/allow, and they verify me, and after that i can proceed with the payment at the website. for my 2nd 3rd and so on transaction, i need to call maybank cs 1st to ask them to open/allow the transaction at the website before can proceed (verification process applied).

1. "call-to-open-slot" for amex is ONLY applicable for company/merchant that support amex for their online payment, but with permission of maybank/amex 1st. number to called is as stated at the back of amex card.

2. usually is bcoz the company faced so many scam (using stolen amex number) to purchase items from their website.
so they co-operate with maybank to block amex transaction for their website (merchant name), unless, maybank un-block it 1st for certain time (example u call at 2pm and maybank open/allow till 12pm for same day).

3. at the website, u can select/choose amex for payment option. but if u just key-in ur amex info without call cs to open the slot, ur transaction will be failed.

here the screenshot of the website payment page:

[attachmentid=2456923]

note: this is malaysian registered-based website (www.*.my).
if call maybank cs and ask to open the slot for this company, they already familiar witth this company name.

AGAIN - this is only for website that CONFIRM can support amex and have this option.

at the time i'm posting this - ETIQA is NOT accepting amex for their online payment yet, even have amex as payment option.
while AIRASIA & MAS didnt implement this "call-to-open-slot" option (yet? or maybe wont?).

hope no need to quote this post as i may update/edit later

Probably ... we need people to start talking about their actual transactions with hotel bookings as well (Website, actual transaction date and time) so that all of us could benefit and plan for best time to do hotel bookings.

I believe (including myself) do quite a fair bit of hotel bookings online.

Just to get the ball rolling

Website : Agoda.com
Transaction Date & Time : 28th Sept 2011, 7.05am
Transaction Posted on  : To be updated (Based on M2U info)
Card Used : MBB AMEX
Currency transacted : MYR (Sometimes other website will use USD or local currency and then converted to MYR. This info optional coz this may provide forex info)

I suggest that a new thread "Online Hotel Bookings via Credit Card" be created. Please come out with a format that everyone could follow. You are nominated and the best person to create this thread.

I believe in giving opportunity for everyone to Own and contribute healthily in the finance thread. I don't fancy threads with short term goals and visions coz they don't contribute much both in terms of content and opportunity for everyone.

Success of this section relies on everyone, I don't think I'm well versed in everything. Just doing my best. But if everyone wants me to consensually start (and none one out there offers), I'm OK to take up that role.

I am not able to be online as frequent as you guys. And "hye" being a mod who does online bookings frequently is the best person to create the thread. I look forward to the new thread.

Anyone wants to start a new thread - How Much Cash Back I Earned with my Maybankard 2 AMEx  And this rate with everybody reporting thier cash back, we will be in v4 soon, hahaha

Just want to check, i just got charged this month for the Rm50 principal tax, if i redeem using points for the RM50 will it credit back into my account? or can i only redeem that tax voucher for next year's tax

and it will credit back to your account the following month, like my case.

then next time i can try it on next year d
only know the procedure but never got enough point for the conversion

i tried to visit on the maybank.net for TP redemption
on the page where we need to enter our CC or ATM card for redemption no amex as option so do we just fill in the visa/master card that come together with amex or can we also use ATM card number for redemption?

just enter ur visa/mc number.

besides, amex dont have gst ~

is it possible to apply maybankard through phone? I didn't see any maybank at shopping center and too busy to visit the bank >.<

1 of treat points redeem item called Caltex star card Rm50. Can this card use to fill up petrol? I plan to redeem this item.

I have other source of income that is taxable just that it is not in any form of official papers. Probably I can print out an A4 paper and have it signed. Thats all. And I did declared it in my BE form and paid my tax for that income.

hi

2. Enjoy a low Finance Charge of 8.88% p.a. on your outstanding retail balance

Also i notice use american express more worth cos can get 5X treat points so usually wont use the visa card la cos only 1X treat points. Is the american express card can use in alot vendor compare VISA?
