Are you sure you want to buy rolex here in Malaysia? Have you check the price minus 11% tax at Europe?

Base on my spending experience using m2c for the past 3 months, not many merchant accept amex. Even some rolex ad does not accept amex. Its like 90% spending on visa vs 10% amex. Hope there will be more merchant accepts amex 😅

Spot on - not everywhere accepts AMEX. Based on my past 2 years spending pattern, only 30% is charged to AMEX, and the rest on VISA.

I managed to use Amex : Visa at 2:1 for last year.
Nevertheless, I grouped overseas / foreign currency transaction under Amex (actual usage is Visa, but most cases Amex is acceptable, and both getting x5 TP).
No luxury spending (usually accepting Amex).
A large portion from visa are contributed from insurance though.

Very true, 2:1 to me more on no of transactions and smaller value ones. If have big ticket items normally can sign Amex.

My transactions probably 2:1 too, but when comes to value, Amex will be 75%

Value at 2:1, didn't count on number of transaction.
Due to insurance, else Amex value will close to 75-80%.

Oh you spend so much on insurance, Amex usually flight tickets, hotel, groceries, e-wallet, some shopping, overseas spending total up quite substantial

Mentioned no of transactions because normally more places reject Amex, so it always give us the feeling can spend too little with it but if value actually comprise much higher

Overall spending isn't too big, so insurance amount looks a lot.
Actually spent on a one-off big amount insurance last year.
My most non-Amex use is online shopping (shopee etc), a few restaurants and pharmacy not accepting Amex.
Will try every possible chance to pay with Amex (via e-wallet etc) tongue.gif
