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

QUOTE(David83 @ Dec 10 2018, 03:48 PM) QUOTE(fruitie @ Dec 28 2017, 06:50 PM) 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.  Learn to search. This post has been edited by coolguy99: Nov 30 2019, 08:41 AM

QUOTE(ProxMatoR @ Feb 11 2020, 11:27 AM) guess boost is at the back.... since the eTunai... favepay been pushing boost quite a lot....  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.

QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Feb 12 2020, 08:55 AM) 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.

QUOTE(Anson Wong 412 @ Jun 2 2020, 02:47 PM) 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.

QUOTE(zforce @ Aug 29 2020, 12:15 AM) 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.

QUOTE(Zegoon681111 @ Jan 4 2021, 10:05 PM) 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.

QUOTE(red streak @ Apr 13 2021, 07:48 PM) 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.
