want to ask about the maybank amex link to paypal
been readhing some of the posts but not manage to find some solid answer
1. for buying item in oversea (USD),will the exchange rate be higher than visa/master
The final amount will definitely be higher. It can be because the exchange rate is higher or because of the higher admin fee imposed for AMEX.

2. any other processing fee involve when buying? If the item is USD50, i will be charged at USD50 X exchange rate only ?
+ 0.5% + 2.5%. For more information, kindly refer to the
Credit Card Foreign Exchange Rate thread.

3. also can get 5% discount and 5X treatpoint if purchase made on weekend
For the 5% discount, yes, provided you have not used up your quota for that particular month.

4. which one is more recommend. Linking paypal to debit card/ amex/visa/master
I personally use all AMEX, VISA and MC. Do note that you should only use your AMEX linked to Paypal after 2pm on every Saturdays if you want to the get 5% weekend discount as it follows Paypal's HQ time in US.
