Limited to retail shopping? What about online purchase?

If I wish to upgrade my card to platinum, how does the SST work? Have cancelled the other card due to SST and keep my AMEX, no SST charged yet because my card expires next year in March.

So if my request to upgrade to Platinum is approved, will there be two credit cards given and I gotta pay RM50 SST? Or I can simply request for one card, AMEX to be upgraded only. And do I have to send the request and ensure it's approved prior my current Gold card expiry is March to avoid double charge of SST?

Thanks, I didn't read the T&C, simply checked out the main title 'retail' 😋 so making oversea purchase online is eligible for oversea one I suppose - thanks!

Ahh.. I got what u meant, I thought to request for an upgrade this year so I guess id better wait till early next year or latest by end of the year then I don't have to pay x2 SST.

Is upgrading easier by just providing my EA form to show my annual income? I worry applying a new one might involve more complicated procedures. And I wish to my get AMEX platinum and hoping won't to receive d other card.. Not sure how the application works currently - whether 2 cards are still given at once.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is so crazy and troubling, is it safer to use secure2u? As if our phones have extra storage to install more apps!

I'll try to find out but not gonna do that this year since mine will be expired next year.. But I already canceled my visa card, if I request for an upgrade reasonably they should only give out 1 AMEX card.

I agree!

Failed to make online purchase via MBB credit card, tried to call CS several times but was told to email them due to high call volume. Anybody else is facing the same issue?

I am just wondering how long it takes for canx Visa/Master card to 'disappear' from M2U? How to tell points have been transferred?

Having the same situation although CS told me card was cancelled immediately while card still appears in M2U. Called CS again to inquire, was been told they gotta send request to IT department to get the card removed and asked for my banking card no to proceed.

When I inquired CS upgrading/applying M2card, they told me as long as I don't activate the visa/master card, no SST will be imposed.


Please do keep us posted if SST is charged d u don't activate the credit card.

Oh sounds like what the CS explained to me when I called up to inquire but she didn't explain after 3 months SST will be imposed.

Do you think I'd simply apply a new Platinum card or request to upgrade my current Gold card better? My card will be expired somewhere in March. I'll either apply/upgrade this Platinum one end of d month or early next year.

Oh I am thinking like this.. If I apply for a new platinum one, once it's approved, I'll request to cancel the gold one prior activating the platinum one.. Just have to make sure all is done before old card expiry month - am I thinking correctly? Then there will be only 1x SST.

Anyone tried adding AMEX to paypal? I had no issue adding another Visa credit card but when I added AMEX, it requires confirmation - have to wait for the verification amount/code shows in my statement then only I can confirm the card.

Initially I thought to fully utilise 5% cashback by using AMEX over the weekend. Anyone knows if it's worth using AMEX for foreign currency payment? Or I'd just stick to other credit card like visa instead.

Did u have to wait for the small charge billed to your statement to confirm your AMEX card to paypal? If so roughly how long it takes? They charged my card last night but I can't find the transaction yet in my statement, hopefully next weekend the price I wanna pay is still the same! I don't understand why it's more complicated adding AMEX while I have no issues with visa at all.

Regarding the new platinum card, is there any reason I have to do it in the same month? Why can't I apply in adVance then cancel my gold card and only activate my platinum card? I hope I don't sound too stupid 😅

I can't confirm the card yet since the verification code hasn't appeared in my statement yet. However, I did try to make payment using AMEX via paypal but I couldn't as the card is pending confirmation. Now I begin to wonder if possible the merchant doesn't accept AMEX? Although it says to accept AMEX..

Yes but it also said I have to key in the 4 digit verification code appears in the statement, the amount only will be reversed. I don't worry much bout that, it's just that I don't think I can make payment this weekend as I tried making payment using AMEX although the card is not confirmed yet. My concern is next weekend the rate will be different/higher..

OK, I got what u mean now. Have no idea the expiry date = my current CC expiry. So I'd only apply for the platinum card in March. What if the card gel rejected? If the appeal & approval process extends till April, then I will be charged twice still?

I tried making reservation for this hotel - do u think you'd try to check if AMEX is accepted? It only shows my visa card for payment and I can't switch to AMEX so I am not sure if it's my card is pending confirmation or what..

Yes, I'd have done that before SST implementation! I only realised Platinum offers travel insurance coverage, better discount when I recently research for oversea trip. Multi quote my posts now.. Although I am not sure if any quicker way to do multi-quoting? I replied one post, then looked for your post & clicked reply, then copy the whole text to paste over my posted post 😅
