Like many here, I have up to 10K in bills to pay per month (4 TNB bills). Considering the limit of just 1K at Sam's, what is the best way to go about this? I don't want the cashier to look at me as if I'm a looney

herc and fruitie, thanks for sharing the option of paying utility bills at Sam's to secure the 5xTP.

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 20 2016, 07:57 PM) You have to visit few times and go different counter. Does it mean if I hv a 3k TNB bill I hv to go to 3 different counters ? Can be done same day ?Same account no. cannot pay at the same counter for more than one time at the same day. Starting to sound like it's not worth the trouble |

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 21 2016, 01:52 PM) His case is valid because his bill is more than RM 1k but you only allow RM 1k per bill per counter. Oh wait let me get this right. It is 1k max per bill per counter or simply 1k max in total? For eg, I have 4 tnb bills each about 2k...can I get 1k settled frm each bill in 1 counter? That way I just need to go 2 counters? Sorry for asking repeatedly, abit blur I always hop from one counter to another counter to fulfill RM 50 per transaction for Wise. |

QUOTE(herc @ May 23 2016, 10:54 AM) tat's why i wonder when someone mention 1k per counter. It's always been 500 to me. herc is it confirmed that your tnb bills paid at Sam's is giving you the 5x TP after the recent annoucement by Maybank?Sam's here only 3~4 counter open, sometimes I need to wait for them to open. Still have a lot outstanding to pay and I have to shift the usage to other cards. I think Maybank will see at least 30% drop in their card usage with this new revision and hopefully they will do something to stop the bleeding. |

QUOTE(herc @ May 23 2016, 11:49 AM) yes confirmed, any bill u pay there is considered as groceries, 5X TP no problem. 40K ?? my goodness you must have racked up a few million points by now. paying 10k bills there is applicable and not too hard to achieve, but imagine mine is 40k 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! This post has been edited by Jack128: May 23 2016, 11:55 AM |

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 23 2016, 12:06 PM) 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. 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 |

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 |

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 23 2016, 03:35 PM) Yes, register for the membership card. Only RM 12 and you will get RM 10 voucher. Applicable for utility bills too? YahooooooRM 1 = 1 point. 1000 points can redeem RM 10 voucher. Register the membership card before making any transaction, the points cannot be backdated. that's another 100RM savings a month |

now that maybank stopped their 5x points for utility bills, I am switching to Hong leong visa infinite. However it looks like I cannot pay by credit card on their online portal?
Anyone with experience with HL online bill payments? Im confused This post has been edited by Jack128: Jun 16 2016, 11:38 AM |
