or you can shorten your stay to 1day and rebook again
this is not cancellation then...

i had think ur method before.. but it come with 15usd charges.. lol
not worth at all.. i book cheap2 hotel oni.. can't beat 15usd at all..

I encountered something like this before so when I called to thailand CS waived it off for me

Want to ask, If I pay DBKL cukai taksiran using maybank2u bill payments and select amex effective today.... will i be entitled for the 5% cash back? sorry for noob question, never pay bills online before. thanks in advance

yes. as long as you pay on saturday or sunday

Just some info..
I just booked agoda few days ago..
Visa or master 5% off but amex 7% off hehe, so the info on first page no longer valid? (That visa/master is better than amex for agoda booking)

Mine is just gold but not platinum

and if use amex on weekends for agoda is 7%+5%+5xtp.

just curious, is there any cards other than mb2cards that allow bill payment with rebate benefit? I know wise allows for electricity and water but I need one that covers the range like mb2cards, including unifi, cukai, astro, maxis etc

hi, anyone try to pay cukai taksiran in maybank2u using amex? is it select the majlis bandaraya xxx, fill in the cukai taksiran account and pay? Will they(majlis bandaraya xxx) send you the receipt?

Is it normal if the cash back amount is lesser than expected? Cause I created a spreadsheet to keep track of the expenses (TreatPoints & Cashback), TreatPoint is accurate but cashback is off when compared against statement

yes, the methods correct. no receipt but you can see it deducted in your next bill.

any government or education or insurance related transactions?

maxis can use wise to pay via maxispay.

Nope. So far all are the following categories:
- Groceries
- Online Game Credits / Game Purchases / HumbleBundle / Amazon
- Petrol
- Bills (Maxis via Phone / Payment Counter, TNB via M2U)

Calculating the differences (RM43.2 - RM41.55) is RM1.65 differences (5% cashback); RM1.65/5*100 = RM33. Can't seem to link back to any RM33 transactions that are not eligible for cash back

EDIT: Nevermind, I cross-checked the statement vs. my list, found out why already. It's the first transaction (RM32.61)

I placed order at Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 12:05 AM sharp (based on receipt sent to my email), and seem like M2U recognize it as Friday transaction

ok, i assume all transactions were made with AMEX.

Try to use excel's ROUNDDOWN function, set it 2 decimals.

from ur list, you should get RM43.18 cashback. difference from statement = RM43.19 - RM41.55 = RM1.63.

possibly your 19/7/2014 's transaction (RM1.63 cashback) was missed (dont know for what reasons).

Yup, it's the first transaction that are missed (see my edited post above).

No idea why 12:05AM's transaction is still considered as Friday. Maybe they have a different cut-off period for weekend

Thanks for the tips on ROUNDDOWN though, previously just did a simple round to two deecimal. After rounding down it's much more accurate tracking now

mind to share what transaction was it? Paypal? online service?

sometimes it depend on the merchant's time too. I remember one lyn member was saying even some local merchant have delays especially midnight transaction.

read from post 260 onwards.

Hi guys, whats the difference between Outstanding and Statement balance?

My current understanding is that Statement balance is my previous period balance
and Outstanding balance is my current period balance which is not yet due AND my previous period balance (which is statement balance)

So shouldn't my Outstanding balance ALWAYS be more than Statement balance assuming that I have not yet paid my previous AND current period balance?

cukai taksiran can be paid using amex via maybank2u? if not mistaken, i did not see amex or mastercard option when paying, only saving account...

If you have not paid then by right outstanding balance should be more than statement balance. But i think the cashback just credited today. So that may reduce your outstanding balance to be less than your statement balance? if your "current period balance which is not yet due" is less than the cashback.
