yes, current 8x is better but just cant wait to get the new card need to regiser for auto pay and etc, so that can start to use the gold card right after the current promotion end. lol

@Dozz,
Maybe MBB can't approve it for U cause Ur oredi holding the higher level card? From what I know, banks aren't allowed to issue 2 Visas to a person. I only assume the same works for Amex cards

Btw have U decided on whether ur going to cancel ur Amex Plat or what?!

At first i worry about this problem too, but a friend of mine who is working with AMEX told me there is no such restriction. Anyway, i will call them up again later today and see what they say.

I am wondering if they have any records we have registered for this 8X. To me it's just sending SMS and receiving a confirmation SMS, but in their records, how sure is it we have registered...

@guanteik,
I believe the vendor who sent U the SMS would keep records of it. Now that U mention it, I didn't even keep a copy of the SMS I received! *siGh* Nanti ada dispute macam mana ?! *gulp*

@Dozz,
U cancelling Amex Plat then when Gold is approved?!

This morning I did call them to check my application too Their system shows my application pending my supp IC which I did refax to them last week and since the person handling my case was on leave can't check further. So I asked why can't they check with my Charged Card data as the supp is the same and was informed that AMEX CC and Charged Card are two different department. Well that explains why the Charged Card CS people are more curteous and "better".

I did receive confirmation reply after I sms, however I have subsequently deleted it and got no record of it
Don't worry lah, it should be in the system but you can always call them and reconfirm.

Wow! I just received a call from AMEX and inform me that my request for fee waived of plat card fee has been approved. I keep saying thank you for him to save my RM800... haha Therefore, i wont cancel it now... at least not this year. hahaha...

Bro, congrats on you AMEX Plat (charged card?) AF waiver What string you had to pull to get the waiver? Mind sharing how much you spend on your Plat for the last year. If they start giving AF waiver for Plat I might just ask them for an upgrade (that is if my member since stays the same).

He was talking about the AMEX Platinum Credit Card.

Aiyah, I thought Charged Card as he applied for Gold CC. Kind of odd for Amex to allow having both Gold and Plat CC.

hi guys,

Yes, mine is platinum credit card not charge card. Just call them up to request fee waiver... it took 3 days to process after that someone will call you for the outcome. Perhaps i m just lucky enough to got it approved.

Added on June 25, 2009, 7:59 pmIn fact i have Amex Kris Flyer, Plat and Charge card with them. There is no limitation on how many card u could have, as long as the payment history isnt too ugly, i guess shouldnt be a problem.

You are lucky one because it's difficult to get AF waiver for Amex Plat charge or credit card, according to one of my friends working in banking industry. Btw, you apply for Amex gold cc while having Amex Plat cc? Do update us on the result of your application if you receive the cc.

Now that Dozz has successfully got his annual fee for the AMEX Platinum credit card waived. I guess the next to try would be Tinkerbel

If the AF for Amex Plat is waivable, this will definitely boost its business as most of the existing visa and mastercard Plat cardholders are reluctant to downgrade themselves to own an Amex gold card. A good news!

Agreed as I share your sentiments and perhaps part of your statistics. Dozz's case could be a unique one so I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

I think my application for the latest Amex Express Gold CC is approved. I can see this in my M2u

xxxx-xxxxxx-009xx American Express Gold Credit Card

Applicant #90+ ? I recall the last digit is check-digit

Note: Not to confused with the Maybankard Amex Gold.

Seriously speaking, for the moment Amex Gold CC is better for people like me who does not play golf, dine at Shangarila often and spend money at merchants that give 10X rewards. As you all know Gold Amex CC 5X MR for purchases of groceries & petrol and have auto AF beats the Plat card. I would prefer to use Amex Gold CC over any of my Plat CC simply because of the 5X reward points and I don't consider it a downgrade. But if AMEX do waive AF for Plat charge card I would definately ask for upgrade for "shiok sendiri" feeling

hi cute_boiboi, just want to ask when you submit the application? The process is quite fast....
I also got apply for this Gold CC, but until now still can't view inside M2u yet

i official fax in on this Monday (22nd June 2009). Last week fax in not complete and blur. One thing to note, I'm an existing MBB a/c and CC holder. Maybe faster processing & approval.

Hey dude, wish to ask is it a better way rather than gathering point via KrisFlyer card?
May I know how many reward points can be converted to frequent flyer point? 1 to 1 kah? hehe
Also the frequent flyer program is under which airline alliance one? hehe thx
