oh, ok, thanks ya bro!

Hi guy, suddenly a question come cross my mind, hope there will be a clear reply for me ya...

well, scenario is like this, VISA/MASTER/AMEX, which ever la, if I spend oversea, the most important 1 is all about the "logo" right? I mean the VISA logo, the MC logo, or even the AMEX logo. If the oversea merchant got stated accept VISA/MC/AMEX, then, it doesnt depend on which bank issue you the card right?

Will it be:
Merchant: Which bank is it? Maybank??? We dont accept unknown bank credit card. Do you hv a Citibank cc?

Will this happen? Well, I know Citibank is worldwide well-known, but for my current life-style/daily spending, Citibank cc doesnt seems that bring more benefit to me compare to MBB2C.

Hope any1 have a confirm answer for this question... tq tq...

Well, thanks for ur reply, because, i really dont see how the citibank cc will bring me benefit for my current spending limit compare to MBB2C.

I ald hv the MBB2C, and I am the 1 who like to travel, just curious, Maybank, consider a world-wide "well-known" bank? if as u said, they recognise the "logo" rather than the issuer bank, but, cannot deny, if the issuer bank is citibank, sure 100% go through, coz the citibank is just like the "boss" of all the bank. when come to "boss", then all merchants just like, "oh, citibank, 100% no problem, SWIPED!!!" when come to local bank, they will think "huh? what bank is it?!"

I hv MBB2C, my gal recently apply citibank, ald got the card, and one of the reason she go for citibank is as a backup is somehow it is not accepted in certain overseas merchants. other than this reason, it doesnt seem to hv any much benefit... well, buy1-free-1 GSC/TGV, coffee bean... we don like this, we like cash back more than this. So far i am satisfied with the benefit that MBB2C bring for me. If is the case overseas merchant recognise logo rather than the issuer bank, then, after the 2 yrs annual fee waiver, then, go for MBB2C better!

oh well, decades ago ya, so, example, taiwan, china, indonesia (I will go to these country for soon), MBB2C is not an issue right? Great to see ur ans that now issuer bank is not an issue anymore, well, except for global CS for cc lost or replacement. so, MBB has a good global CS reputation huh? haha... i hv so many questions pula...

haha! This MBB2C really attract me much much compare other cc, for the income ~ RM 30k la. If it is only the logo matter not the bank issuer matter, i cannot see any reason to go for citi compare to MBB2C.

I expect the payment u went through Paypal? If yes, then Maxis cannot process Amex payment through Paypal.

I called Maxis CS last time, thr is an option to pay using Amex, that is Pay-By-Phone. Register your Amex in the Pay-By-Phone option, then, everytime you wan to pay, just call them and then they will proceed it with you.


p/s1: I didnt do that yet even I know can do this as claim by Maxis CS la. Coz I will go Penang Queensbay at least once per month, so, normally I just pay my bill there.

p/s2: The Maxis payment kiosk there cannot accept Amex also, hv to go to counter. And, at the counter, only certain CC terminal can recognise Amex only... lol... so, sometimes pay at counter 10, they will say "this terminal cannot accept Amex, I hv to go to counter x to proceed it". hahaha...
