Paying bills in Sam's is considered as groceries. So, if groceries is not one of the affected categories, it will not be affected at all.
I have been paying my bills using my groceries cash back cards and get my cash rebate every month.

I'm using the Amex reserve for making payment and still getting 5x points.

yes confirmed, any bill u pay there is considered as groceries, 5X TP no problem.

paying 10k bills there is applicable and not too hard to achieve, but imagine mine is 40k

MYR 40k of bills. You guys are big spenders. So big.

40K ?? my goodness you must have racked up a few million points by now.
I earned about 1 million points in just 12 months, back when everything thing is 5x on the Amex Reserve.
But now that is history and we have to resort to paying bills at the grocer!

tats why dunno wat card to use now for maximum benefit

its hard to let go M2Premier for its airmiles conversion

Not a big spender Fruitie, but just the privilege of paying company utility bills which can be claimed back anyhow

Luckily I don't always travel on my own, maybe just one year once or twice. Usually travel for business trips, so don't bother much about this.

Well, I can't do this for my company. It is against the compliance. That's one of the bad things working in a MNC.
If I can pay bills on their behalf, that's easily RM 100k I think, I remember my Finance told me about it.

didn't really track how much TP i can earn per year, 3mil maybe?

This is current TP but still far from my flight plan requirement



Jack128 is correct, tat's not personal spending anyhow

I know but too bad my company doesn't allow us to do that.
We cannot even buy our own flight tickets, all must be done via our travel desk and charged straight to company's account.
The only thing I can always do is my boss will allow me to pay on his behalf during team lunch and he pays me back after the meal, he will claim from his own. He just wants me to earn some pocket money.

Business trips cannot bring spouse, and can't opt for J/F class

I only do personal trip for once or twice too, but can fly free around the globe with nice seat, why not.

With MNC you already have very nice perks and benefits, no need to slowly rack up airmiles like us
but it is nice to bring your spouse to a holiday on business class. Take a 13 hour flight to london and when you arrive you go "already?" I was just about to enjoy the A380 haha

We can. You pay on your own.

Strange I just got a call back from CS @ Sam's. Apparently no limit to utility bill payments?
They have actually double checked and verified this info? But i trust you guys more

Good news? But provided the information is correct and passed down to the cashier. End of the day it is still the cashier who deny us to pay more than 500

how do you pay 40k in 500RM transactions?

80 times.

i pay til vomit blood

For the love of airmiles.
You really split to 80 times?

If I and/or the wife have time, I will. For the time being, 20~30x this month.

The first month we doing that too, will have to think again see whether the time spent worth it or not
