Last Saturday, I went to lowyat plaza to purchase an external HDD RM250, viewnet said they accept AMEX without charge but their machine rosak, can't use on that day.
So I went to All-IT to purchase, but they said AMEX charge 3% (compare with visa/master 2%), so they want to add this 1% to my price. So my HDD become RM253. |

QUOTE(smsbusiness2u @ May 28 2013, 02:14 PM) How the calculation with additional 3% on RM250 become RM253? The sales person told me will add 1%. 1% of RM250 should be RM2.50, but they add RM3 which is 1.2%. it should be RM257.50 if only charged you RM253, it is 1.2% only   |

QUOTE(echoesian @ Jul 4 2013, 09:34 PM) I guess this does not work anymore, last time I once tried this method, however the transaction date is reflected on the next following Monday instead. I just renew in Mid June, call in Saturday. But my case is abit different because when I called, the insurance is expired, so the customer service staff charge on that day (sat), but renew on Monday. And I still get 5% cash back.  |

QUOTE(Erehwon @ Jul 29 2013, 11:28 AM) If this was a one-off event I can understand. But it looks as though they are abusing this, turning away customers from using Amex on the excuse that their "system is down". Furthermore, I find it suspicious that only a single card is offline when all other cards from the same merchant bank works. I visit lowyat plaza in June (or May At the very least with All-IT, I've never been turned away even once from using Amex. Extremely unfair to consumers  ), viewnet said AMEX down, so no choice I went to All IT which charge me extra 1.2% QUOTE(Human Nature @ Jul 29 2013, 12:28 AM) the exact same outlet? send an email to Maybank AMEX CS to check on this. Sudah report and waiting for AMEX CS ....This post has been edited by Sirius: Jul 29 2013, 03:17 PM |
