Another question is that regarding Amex, when we say "does not accept AMEX", are we talking about
a) They wont accept payment using AMEX credit card, or
b) AMEX can still be used, not not entitled to 5% Weekend Cash Back and 5% Points

wanna ask, i've encountered some online merchants who say they accept amex but when i key in my amex details, it says it's an invalid card number. i've encountered this a couple of times already, the most recent being tickets booked via marina bay sands in singapore.

anyone knows why this is so?

in case you dont know..when you pay bill in M2u, the system does generate a receipt for u..
you can print screen, print it out or save it to your pc...

hi. i am interested to apply for this card.
however i have minimum annual income of 27.6k.

can i apply for MBB2 gold ?

Should be up to 2nd, most of the time Amex will flow on the same day itself if it is local trasaction. If swipe on 3rd, it may flow to next statement since your statement date is 3rd, please correct if I'm wrong.

I know UOB cc will be flow on the next statement as I have exp before.

Today AEON BIG offers rm8 voucher for rm100 purchase.
So if use Amex effective rebates=5%CB+2%tp+8%voucher=15%.
But preferred to buy things that are on offer.

Free RM8 voucher when spend RM100 at Aeon BIG??

But Jusco only free RM 5 voucher when spend RM100. 

Just a side topic, we may use UOB card that gives 10% CB within jan. So it comes out at 18%

I just received my maybank CC, and wish the enjoy the weekend AMEX 7% rebate, but am a bit confused on the transaction date mentioned in this topic. (I didn't manage to go through all the posts though) Is the transaction date same as the date I made the payment? If NOT, how to estimate when we spend using AMEX card? Thx.

Don't worry... it will come in. Are you worried to be charged ?

had that problem few weeks back. called cs and was told there was no attempt for any transaction. tried a week later and manage to go through. yesterday tried to buy gsc tickets with paypal but only have option for my master and none for d Amex although Amex is my primary card. again I called d cs but was told ntg can be done as there is 'no attempt' to pay with paypal

just used my AMEX for airasia about an hour ago, and my statement date is 14th.

What's the likelyhood of it being captured on this mth statement?

Guys, im really confused now. I want to know whats going on. Every month, i pay the outstanding balance showed in my m2u site. But how come every month the outstanding and statement balance still is very different apart? For example:

This is the highlight of both cards:

[attachmentid=3815556]

And this is the statement for both cards:
[attachmentid=3815555]
[attachmentid=3815557]

So, when i pay outstanding EACH month, and ON time..why is it still bringing forward stuff?
My hard copy statement is the same as the statement balance as above.

Which am i to pay? i dont want to keep over-paying for stuff.
And i rather just pay up all, instead of minimum, or partial or what ever so.

thanks guys!

thanks      

Another thing to be aware of is that this Agoda promo is only for Visa/Mastercard and not AMEX. If you populate your AMEX card into the payment field, the discount won't be reflected.

My MBB2 was approved 31st Dec. Until today haven't received anything.

Gave them a call, saying they tried to deliver to my house but failed for unknown reason?

Now only they will resend it to a branch near me, had to wait another 7 days ... what a bummer ...

Itchy to use the Amex for coming weekend ...

But the exchange rate conversion used by Amex is not as good as VISA/Master, No?

sometimes you pay with USD may be cheaper than RM but you are not aware

if u have cimb platinum cash back use it for agoda much better than amex

ok great so it's :-

Maybank Amex - 7%+5%+2%
Cimb Plat CB -7%+5%
Wed Visa - 10%

Oh, thanks for the info. Your recent refers to the one that is just launched for this year (1st Jan 2014 onwards)? Because I tried end of last year with my AMEX and wasn't entitled for it. Viewed the promo details on the Maybank website and it clearly states only for Visa and Mastercard... :-(

http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p.../PRO-Promotions

Spent close to RM1k on my booking. That's roughly RM70 in discount!

Thanks for sharing anyway. I will try again with AMEX the next time I do my bookings with Agoda, most probably mid of the year.

cannot be la...i've made booking on agoda since early 2013 with maybank amex never fail to receive 7%. you sure go book through the correct website?(with the /maybank) at the back?

nope..the promotion already start since last year..
i make my booking since last year..

if i remember correctly, the promotion only applicable for booking of hotel in certain country and certain period of time..
so maybe that why your amex doesn't applicable for the 7% discount..
