considering many of us subscribed to ASTRO, we need to push ASTRO to add in AMEX payment in Maybank2U.

put more pressure to them by email/contact/etc.

BINGO!

Uniqlo KLCC accepts AMEX

by right it should be linked.

if not, call the CS to clarify and ask them to link ur AMEX to ur M2U acct.

jump to Uniqlo happy with their clothes, and AMEX acceptance there

seems not all Nando's accepting AMEX.

tried Nando's Paradigm Mall and Setia City Mall. both not accepting AMEX

just tried to pay Quit Rent (cukai hasil tanah) via M2U using AMEX (listed payment type).

Confirmation #1: According to MBB CS, the payee (Pejabat Pengarah Tanah & Galian Selangor) in M2U does not accept any payment by any credit cards.



Confirmation #2: Payment via CASA is accepted (just confirmed pay thru via Savings Accounts in M2U).

Observation: The AMEX option from the payment list is a bug/misleading from M2U.

maybe you can try out too, who knows it might work? no harm trying anyway

AMEX not available in M2U when paying for MBPJ Assessment.

is that correct? i just paid via VISA instead. CASA options available, but not AMEX.

good news (sort of), seems MBB has fixed their payment selection bug in Bill Payments:


Today



3 days ago



could it be that MBB removed AMEX option from all govt-related bill payments?

Amex listed as payment option is ok, but does the transaction goes thru successfully?


nice payment options for MBSA. jeless!! MBPJ removed Amex option though.

guys, any ideas if Compu-Zone (C-Zone) accepts Amex?

planning to get some stuffs, probably about RM1K in total transactions.

thanks!

orite thanks!

good to know that!

any surcharge imposed for using credit card?

awesome!

gsc (golden screen cinema) web and mobile app accepts paypal.

since my amex is tied to paypal, will it go thru successfully, since the transaction is in RM?

not sure if there's a surcharge or not, paying via paypal.

gotta wait till after midnight to buy the tix wish me luck!

exactly, which is why i was curious why GSC accepts paypal at the first place since they most probably cater 100% malaysians with RM currency anyway will try this out in a few mins.

another thing that worries me is the timezone. if i pay with paypal now, the transaction is based on paypal's timezone in the US (about 12hrs later than MY), but what will be stated in M2U? equivalent US time or "converted" based on actual MY timezone? <--- ok, this was stated in MBB thread

*update1: just tried paypal for gsc payment. since i have 2 credit cards (visa + amex, both mbb2cards) linked with paypal, it automatically selected the visa card to be charged (eventhough i set amex as my primary card in paypal).

i'm not sure about paypal, but my amex was not fully verified (the dreaded 4-digit verification that requires bill statement checking). i wonder if this has any limitation charging to it.

maybe i should remove the visa card from being linked to paypal. what will happen?

*update2: ok, removed visa from paypal. cannot proceed with payment with amex-paypal. so, the conclusion for the time being is visa/mastercard-linked with paypal is accepted, amex-linked will not.



*update3: ok, my amex now verified in paypal. found the option to change the payment method, only visa/mastercard accepted. here's the error message:

oh my. i almost go there to overpay the bills with amex too.

not sure if they've changed the payment options for amex cuz post #1 stated amex is accepted via OTC.

thanks for highlighting this!

blast the question to their FB https://www.facebook.com/umobile

faster response and more eyeballs too. they will feel the pressure to answer you.

if email, it's 1-to-1 between you and umobile. they can ignore your email easily

all mbb2card amex users are waiting for this!

problem for tesco to offer tng reload is to have a separate or replace existing card terminal.

e.g. replace existing with a contact + contactless card terminal that can read both chip card (contact) and RFID tng card (contactless), this, in turn, must be integrated with tesco's POS terminals, which may incur more cost as well.

one merchant i noticed is Petronas Puchong accepts both amex/credit cards and reload tng (slot the cc into the reader, put the tng on top of it)


reason why tesco and other merchants (e.g. 7E, M2U, etc) can offer telco reload is because telco can generate pinless reload vouchers (aka softpin).

that means, they bought a bulk of reload vouchers (at discounted rate) from telco, and load the pinless vouchers into their POS database (as part of the retail SKU). this way, no hardware integration need. Just need to tweak the billing software to print out the reload serial number onto the POS receipt.

unless, TNG themself able to generate reload softpin at certain denomination (e.g. RM30, RM50, RM100, RM200, etc), then they can "sell" this to retailers/merchants. <--- one big problem, how to transfer the pin to the card??? still need a reader!

oh well, we can wish
