I have searched the thread and there are conflicting answers to this, hence asking again please don’t be mad at me.

For maxis, the only way to use Amex is to pay at the maxis centre? And it will get u 5x tp right?

There used to be option to pay via m2u but it’s gone?

Edit: seems that paying through m2u is the answer, pls correct me if I’m wrong

I only use my AmEx for M2U payments, PTPTN and Grab/Uber which already maximized my cash back. I seldom have chance to swipe in retails. laugh.gif

New change for airasia? I think maybe it is a result of removing the credit card processing fee as Amex charges a higher fee.

I don't like using Boost with Favepay mainly because it has to be authenticated twice before the payment can go through, which is kinda stupid.

No longer true, in fact Amex's merchant fee is now less than Visa's and Mastercard's. But the merchant fee will be further reduced before 1/1/2021 (the due date for Payment Card Reform Framework initialed by Bank Negara, so the reward/rebate scheme from CC will be revised again soon).

Amex Malaysia already ceased operation in Malaysia and granted the exclusive rights to Maybank in early 2000s. Any bank want to offer Amex services (issuance of card, merchant service) must co-operate with Maybank. So other acquiring banks are not keen in Amex unless the merchants insist. If a merchants want to switch away from Maybank (as acquiring bank), most likely they will give up accepting Amex as the percentage of Amex transactions is too small.

Some merchants are now switching to the acquiring banks (especially HLB, PBB, Ambank etc) which support UnionPay and ewallets. Unionpay's customer base is very much bigger than Amex.

Do you know how much is the merchant fee now? And how much are they looking to reduce? This explains why banks are gradually removing the credit card benefits now.

My friend runs a restaurant chain. Was told that Amex is 3%. Visa and MC can negotiate to below 1% if high turnover. Otherwise, Visa and MC around 1.5%.

Is this the current rate? Or the to be rate after the revision? Thanks again mate.

Thanks for your info. Just renew the Amex card on One Utama this morning. Can’t wait to get the paywave-able Amex card

Not many merchants accept paywave for Amex though. You can only use it if the merchant is using a newer MBB credit card terminal.

Hi. Anyone know or tried using AMEX to pay via Favepay? Do we still get rewards/cashback?

I have read around that many is saying Fave is not an Ewallet. And no reload feature. Should be able to get rewards. Anyone tried? Please share😊

Yes you are able to get cashback using Favepay.

Mbb doesn’t give you cashback or tp when you top up shopeepay with Amex.

If you want to buy things in shopee, use Amex directly to pay to get the reward.

But of course free shipping vouchers are with shopeepay

Wait for those monthly sales to double dip with bank vouchers to offset the shipping fees. biggrin.gif

DON'T ACCEPT AMEX
Merchant Name : NEW BALANCE, CITY SQUARE
Location : JOHOR BAHRU, JOHOR
Type : SHOES

Actually got conned into buying shoes here. Asked multiple times during multiple visits while surveying shoes for their Buy 1 Free 1 deal whether they accepted AMEX and the staff said yes. Even did due diligence myself by going to their checkout counter to see whether they had the AMEX logo (they did). All the signage says they accept AMEX but when paying on a weekend I realized that they had a different terminal (UOB) which was their only one and that the signs were actually Maybank's. Even had an additional Maybank QRpay sign. Failed 5 times and the clueless idiot even had the audacity to say that there was a Maybank branch nearby (to withdraw cash). Didn't really want to go without cashback but I swapped to Visa since I had already wasted an hour trying on shoes and picking the ones I liked and it was instantly approved.

I realize only Maybank credit card terminals work with Amex. Not sure about this but most of the places that accept Amex uses Maybank.
