received an email from maybank promoting this maybank 2 card (amex & visa)

plan to apply for the 2 card and cancel my current citi cc.

just want to ask about this amex card.

anything i need to know about amex cards?

last time heard that amex not as popular or good as master/ visa.

if late payment, is interest rate higher than visa/ master?

once u start asking how high the interest rate in case of late payment, clearly you are not advised to own credit cards.  whistling.gif

actually i'm just curious what is the main difference between amex and master/ visa.

last time used to hear that many merchants don't accept amex compare with master/ visa.

also notice amex not as popular as master/ visa.

am planning to change to this maybank 2 card promo since they email me this offer.

don't want to keep my current citi card as every year i have to call them to waive the annual fees despite me being a good paymaster.

Google is your best friend to get more info.
Generally, Visa/MC charge lower fee for merchant when using their service.
Amex charge higher fee, hence less merchant signing up for their service.
However, Amex is lowering their fee nowadays, and it has getting more popular, especially in US.

In short, as a consumer, less places are accepting Amex.
Amex gives better return compare to Visa/MC.
For those places accepting Amex, go for it.
Those not accepting, use your Visa/MC (that's why Maybank give you 2 cards).
Premium business always accept Amex (ie. branded outlets, >4-star hotel).

Additional info, there are Amex Charge Card and Credit Card.
Maybank 2 card belongs to Credit Card.
You can search for their charge card and compare the privileges.

Last but not least, always settle all your monthly billing and won't bother of late payment fee.
