Kinome Japanese restaurant - Amex Rejected
Harvey Norman Qbay - Amex Accepted
Eu Yan Sang Tesco Penang - Amex accepted

eu yan sang (taipan) accepts amex.

I guess Uniqlo KLCC accept amex already because I din shop thr for quite some times...

ahh that's good to know

Kedah: Syarikat Air Darul Aman (SADA) accept Amex over the counter, but 1x TP only, government agency..

SADA is private

it should be 2x for gov.

I went to All IT Hypermarket at Low Yat yesterday. When I took out my Amex for payment, the cashier told me that I have to pay extra 3% if I use Amex. I told her that I've purchased something from All IT Hypermarket at Low Yat a few months ago and there was no 3% extra charge. She said no, this practice is not new to All IT Hypermarket. I ended up paying using another card since I refused to pay the extra 3%.

I went back and checked my old receipts from All IT Hypermarket. I found a receipt which I brought something from All IT Hypermarket in November 2013 using Amex with no 3% extra charge. Moreover, it was the same cashier, fazarina.s

My points here are:
1. All IT Hypermarket is scamming customers by making them pay extra 3% if they pay using Amex. The information about 3% extra charge is not displayed anywhere in the store, until the customer proceeds to payment

2. Is it even legal to have two different prices (one hidden) for a product, depending on the method of payment?

3. The cashier is obviously lying when she told me that All IT Hypermarket has been charging the extra 3% since forever since she was also the one who handled my no-extra-charge transaction just mere 4 months ago

My conclusion:
Think twice if you want to shop with your Amex at All IT Hypermarket, better yet, shop at another retailer that does not attempt to scam money out of you.

Mods: Please change All IT Hypermarket's surcharge rate to 3% on the first post

only notice it recently... see attached photo.

My bad, see wrongly, its 2X, 1x ordinary + 1x bonus

But if the thing need to buy from there and urgent for you, why not?

Although it will be extra charge 3% from total amount, but in the end you still earn 4% (7% - 3%) from Amex card or If you dont like their service and not willing to pay for extra, there is another story...

To be honest, if it's for me I would still pay the surcharge like what I did last time when I got my phone from 7 Mobile.

For the sake of the points

if you have max your rm50 rebate no point pay the surcharge

Yeap already applied loyalty card. Thanks bro.

I remember last time I bought there no surcharge as well. Never mind, still got viewet since their Amex merchant is ok already.

Glad that finally tgv accept amex
so far i tried tgv klcc...accept amex!

gsc paradigm accept amex as well...
i always use that last time!

next time, take out your camera phone, record it..
ask the cashier to say again, and let the cashier charge 3%..
then report to bank/bnm after that...

do you know the current on-going promotion between tgv and mbb (amex)?

Does anyone know where one can reload their Touch-n-Go using Amex with a minimum charge? Used to go to Mydin in Bkt Jalil but now its closed down.

Ok, found this in the list - Mydin - Sri Manja, Petaling Jaya (Touch n Go reload accepted)

Anywhere else?

petronas kinrara. 1% cash surcharge (acceptable, imo). effective cashback rate would be 4% + 5x TP.

it's near to Sunway. take the LDP toll heading to Puchong/Bukit Jalil. After toll, keep left to take the exit to Bukit Jalil. Immediately stay left, cuz Petronas is on the left side already. You can see the big signboard. Cant missed it.
