I believe what he meant is the merchant charges 2% fees.

And then asking if still worth it to spend at that merchant on weekends.

Doesn't All-IT or someone do something like this?

Yes. Using amex card on weekends for merchants charging 2% fees. Sorry for the confusion.
Asking because my supplement store charges 2% fee (I think it's 2%), and they're open on weekend. So was wondering if I should use the card or pay by cash.

Edit: Just realized they might not even accept amex. In that case, I guess paying by cash is better

Here's my case with All-It at Low Yat Plaza -

I bought a ACER V Nitro gaming notebook late last year. For ALL-IT case, if you are getting a Windows notebook, it usually comes with freebies. I opted not to receive the FREE gifts and I was given more than RM100 discount of RRP. Other ACER dealers in Low Yat Plaza was not offering discount but selling at RRP but none have stock anyway since it was in great demand. So the discount was more than enough to offset the extra 2% surcharge for 0% installment plan. If you use AMEX for 0% EPP, I think you'll be imposed 3% instead of 2%.

Now, I also did buy a Apple MacBook Air for my daughter in April this year at All-IT, once again opted not to receive any FREE gift and there is no discount for Apple MAcBook Air BUT I was not imposed any surcharge with 0% Installment Plan with my MBB VI.

Anyone else facing problems paying for online items using the Amex card via Paypal on weekends? I've been having this issue the past few months and I'm starting to wonder if it's because of the weekend cash back rebate. I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but in my last call to the call centre, they asked me to not buy stuff on weekends or use the Visa.

summon alexwsk for his consideration/action.

did you follow the rules of thumb at the front page regarding the usage of amex via paypal?

I did. To clarify, most of my items are in foreign currency and even calling up their CS sometimes doesn't work. They keep saying there's nothing they can do and I'd have to talk to 3 different reps at times to finally get it unbarred. I'm just wondering why it's so difficult.

FYI, the reason they usually give is that Paypal is not sending them any requests for the transaction or there's a problem with the terminal. Sometimes a few stern calls and requests to talk to the supervisor help but not all the time. This only happens on weekends though.

So your method is to put 20k into FD and apply an upgrade from gold to platinum over the counter?
Much efficient!

MacBook Air can straight go to Epicenter and Harvey Norman, redeem TPs and pay with AmEx.

I remember this question has been asked before.
for Maybank 2 card. is it possible I request to change my current visa card to the MasterCard varient?

I have quite a number of visa card and I want MasterCard for some MasterCard special promotion

Hi guys. Planning to apply this card this weekend at the card centre in KLCC. But I wonder if its able to process the application on weekend or do I need to go on weekdays only? Hope you guys can enlighten me on this issue.

thanks

yes, it's possible, just write in the form there, the bigger the better, somewhere more visible n easier to be seen.

If u buy from epicenter or Harvey Norman then u won't get any free gift right?
