Any reason why when I apply for a credit card.

The bank supplies to me both Visa and American Express?

U mentioned Maybank 2 Cards? It's come with 1 set, because not every place accept Amex, thus u can swipe with ur Visa when Amex can't be use.

I dont remember applying for Amex though.

Was applying for credit card just in case needed it when going for business trips as it is more convenient than carrying a stack of money with you.

Since you said that it comes in a set. Then no worries i suppose.

Thank you for your reply. rclxms.gif

For M2Cards, AmEx is the useful card. The other card I locked in drawer.

Lol, I see.

Malaysia merchants accept Amex? I thought it is rare in Malaysia.

Not rare but not widely accepted either. But for bigger merchants (departmental, hypermarkets, certain petrol brand, pharmacy), chances are high.

Just some questions regarding statement balance.

I have already paid the statement balance but the amount is still shown in the account details section.

I always paid the outstanding balance.

Am i doing it wrong or something?

Statement balance will not change or real time updated only outstanding balance will change.

I did some digging.

As long as the outstanding payment is zero. I do not need to worry about statement balance as i already paid it off so is my understanding is correct?

Kinda dumb that the system implemented online ask you to pay the statement balance when i have already fully paid it...

not dumb.

statement-ed amount never change. it's fixed. it doesn't TELL you to pay, it's just a statement info for the current cycle USAGE. it's just like postpaid mobile bill.

what u truly owe is outstanding amount. it increases or decreases according to spending or payment.

benefit of postpaid-monthly billing is you only need to clear each statement amount, latest by due date. any newer spending after current statement date, will be billed in next statement cycle.

since u cleared all outstanding amount, then it's fine anyway. it doesn't CHANGE the fact of your statement amount, right? what were spent is documented in the statement.

Nah, dumb as in after i paid it still shows an option to pay. (i got shock)

Then again i should have studied up. My fault also.

But thanks for your reply as it is clear now.

I thought they didnt record my payment.

Cheers.
