You made a very bad choice to reject it... unless you despice Credit Cards...

5% Weekend Cash-Back Rebate applicable for Maybankard 2 AMEX ONLY

Haha. To be honest, I wanted to reject it too last time when they offered me. You know, I feel that these CSs were just doing cold calling.
But somehow God shed some lights to me on that day and I accepted the offer.
Subsequently after that, SBC also called to offer me don't know what Business Platinum which I'm not interested at all, plus she called at the wrong time when I was rushing for my work.
Luckily I read it on LYN after that, it is not a good card after all. Phew.

By the way, added "i" to the Platinum at the title.

Noted, Thanks for pointing that out.

OIC, blur lah I **Edited** posted that on 26 Jan 2012, that time still applicable, I guess it stuck to my mind I'll get 10%

Thank you.

Hi, thk for the info.
I thought paying with amex during weekend is more worth as we can get total 7.5% rebate.
Furthermore the Maybank Visa/master, 6% discount only apply on the hotel rate excluded the tax and fees.

Mind to share?

Thanks

IF they process your transaction on weekend. there is a risk there, so avoid risk, i don't mind less 1.5%..

and beside that, not sure if agoda gonna charge MYR or charge USD into the amex. (if that happen, you lose $ again on the forex transaction)

I changed my currency to MYR in Agoda's interface and whatever amount shown on the screen is the amount charged to my card. So, no extra charge for exchange rate.

Huh it works like that? But are you paying with Visa/Master or Amex?

But anyhow, i thought the currency in Agoda was just for user's convenience to know the amount will be charged by them?
And u booked Msia hotel or other country???

Furthermore all transactions actually goes to Agoda account only then they will credit to the hotel's account, and Agoda account are not Msia based so currency exchange are bound to happen.....

Btw, the 2nd post i saw 5% cash back is based on Posting Date instead of Transaction Date?

Becoz if i read correctly, what Ronnie mentioned in the 2nd post means is the comparison if spending on weekend that is the last day of the month...It will be credited on the next month...

I assume that is due to the statement date are usually counted until 20-24th of each month..
So any spending after 24th will only be showing in next month's statement..

I assume he didnt mean the cash back is based on posting date..

I agree, instead of getting 6% may end up with only getting 2.5% returns and thus loose 3.5%. Better go with losing 1.5% then 3.5%

Please read properly again.... Look at the examples.

I already read very properly lor..

All your example transaction date is 29th Oct 2011, which is a Saturday.
But Posting Date is different, that is what makes the difference of cash rebate either going to Oct or Nov statement.

What i mean is that cash rebate are based on Transaction Date, means entitled to cash rebate.

Where as the above Gen-X statement gives me the impressions that cash rebate are based on Posting Date.
Which means if transaction done on 29th Oct but posting date is 2nd Nov is not entitled.

Get what i mean? I think your statement/finding is correct but the way Gen-X put it is confusing

I'm not sure about overseas hotel, I'm going to book one for my Bangkok trip and probably Hanoi later on. I think then I'll be charged with exchange rate.

Gen-X should reword as
"The 5% Cash Back payout is subjected to POSTING DATE not transaction date. Here's a detail example by ronnie"

Thank for all the info.
I will try with my amex card with agoda booking tomorrow.
Since agoda accept paypal, i may use paypal (link with my amex) to pay. If fail, I will pay direct with my amex.

OK, considered it done.

precisely shld be 6.5%, if u count the 1x treat point from maybank master/visa.
but pls also take note that agoda payment with visa/master is only on the room rate excl tax and otehr charges as stated in T&C.
