so the last 3 digits at the back of card (behind signature) is no use one?

For the mean time and most of the online transaction, the answer is NO USE.

I always make sure I walk to the counter to pay even during karaoke session.

walao
but i notice most receipt that i get
be it from petrol, dining or groceries transaction

they always display the last 3 or 4 digits

for example
thank you for using your maybank amex
xxxxxxxxxxxx7841

if the last 4 digits are the most important one
why they censored the front number instead of the last 4
it doesnt make any sense

as they also will have their shop receipt and we get one customer recepit
whats the point?

its not the amex no.

check your card above the last 4 digit or the amex logo there is another set of 4 digits

hmm
i hope nothing happened today
i hope that waiter doesnt try to pull any stunt

now to sum up security measure that i need to do/already done

1. cover the 4 digits number with tape
2. only pay/present your card at counter
3. set sms limit to rm1 (checked)
4. make sure maybank2u website address is correct before log in
5. do not respond to any email/call asking details of cc

Remember to save the CS hotline on your phone too

Amex has always had their 4-digit CVV on the front. Their cards start with the number 3 too (as opposed to 4 for Visa, 5 for Mastercard). It's a different product.

what the procedure like if i want to increase my credit limit?
how long does it take ?

Three months payslip is required and please allow 3-5 working days to be process.

You can submit it by walk-in card centre

oh, that 4 digit on top of AMEX logo, i just thought it is no use. I only cover the 3 digit number at the back

the 4 digit number on top of AMEX logo is AMEX CVV number? then what about the 3 digit number at the back of card?


**update:
check with my friend's amex card, we have the same number for the 4 digit on top of AMEX logo. I thought this kind of number is different?

it is printed on the card and not a sticker... should not surprise you in the current lowest cost manufacturing environment. IMO might be safer to have embossed it but I am guessing printed on the card is the standard for Amex everywhere

theres millions of cards out there, its just a coincidence that the CVV of your friend and yours is the same

his complaint is the CID, and not the CVV. You will be surprised how many have the same.

Hi, am curious. Why is it safer to have it embossed?

zenquix, i was referring to the above that is highlighted in bold

embossing allows it to be changed and not fixed at the point of manufacturing

yes I am aware. That is called the CID. CVV is the three numbers at the back and not used by Amex.

You might be surprised, if you asked friends who applied for the card around the same time as you, they will have the same number, Simply because it is printed when the card is manufactured. Example all first batch cards have the same number (mine was frauded abt a year ago).

furthermore the first 6/7 numbers of the card is the same for everyone.. because it ids the card family and issuing bank. Those with both a MBB2 Amex and a legacy Amex charge/credit card can check. I noticed it when i had the amex gold CC previously (since cancelled)

After 1 month, maybank rejected my Visa Infinite application >.<!

thanks for the clarification

and is true, we applied the card in same month, same branch some more

then i need to get another sticker to cover it
