This new gold AMEX credit card is not issued by Maybank? From the attached picture, it doesn't carry the Maybank logo nor the blue AMEX emblem.

What's the difference compared to Maybank AMEX conventional gold credit card? This new gold AMEX credit card won't be earning TP from MBB; only MR from AMEX?

But the 5x is MR not TP. You have to remember that. MR and TP are not the same.
It depends on how you look it. For me, I have other cards from MBB that are earning TP and therefore, personally, I think TP is more suitable for me. I don't have MR and if I want to venture to MR, I have to start from zero again.

Besides, MR and TP have different rewards (stuffs) to be redeemed for; meaning different catalogue.

Yes, MBB main CC page, no more this card 

Eh.. Y put in ur application so early?  No freebies also!  Wait till got freebies mah!

But I'm quite sure my application will be rejected as I'm oredi holding the Platinum Amex.  I think maybe I could just ask for an automatic downgrade?

This new credit card is now on AMEX MALAYSIA
LOL ! A newborn baby that many people still don't know its existence yet. Anyway, this card wasn't on AMEX Malaysia website last night.

By right they should send you a renewal card each year , the gold credit card seems a good deal ya, maybe its time to downgrade my card to it 

Check the AMEX and M2U website on June 19 2009 

Same here, all the voucher is still there untouched,  , eeh, Dozz, your Amex already entering 2nd year AF ? so fast? Mine i think is around Nov this year.

@Dozz,
Did U even make an attempt to ask for a waiver?!  Maybe you can take the lead and ask Amex if they can just downgrade u to a Gold ?!

Let us know the outcome though!

@Reventon,
You're absolutely right!  I know for sure in Singapore, Amex Platinum cardholders can get their AF waived easily.

what T & C for waiver ? i dont think they will just accept one call asking for waiver , i have asked several time and the answer is still the same.. keep using the prestige platinum card as an excuse why the AF unwaivable. 
Tinky, in bolehland we always get peanuts la, automobiles , gadgets , you name it . Paying much more higher than others but yet get lesser than them !

This is just matter of time before MBB actually realized it. Inflation already happen on some redeemable voucher , i just hope MBB can try to seperate TP and MR more efficiently. My M2U will show my Visa & Master + Amex Plat CC = TP , in fact Amex falls in MR category !!

@Dozz,
If I understand you right, if U don't want to extend the Shangri-la membership, there's a possibility of getting AF waived for 2nd year?! Anyhow, please do keep us informed on whether U get the AF waived.  Also, what were the T&C?  Mine me asking what was your annual spending with Amex? *grins*

An associate's associate apparently got his AF waived but he spend in the region of RM1m p/year.  I spend nowhere near that amount hence, I popped the question at U   U could PM me if U like

Ok back to AMEX topic but on CC.

I applied for the AMEX Gold CC today. Went to Maybank branch to drop my cheque for my charged card and picked up the application form for Gold CC but did not fill the form on the spot since wanted to get my wife a supp.

Then read in CC thread that one needs to have Maybank account, this was not stated in the application form nor was it in the AMEX's website but was stated in Maybank's website.

So I called this number 603-22958877 and they confirmed don't have to be a maybank account holder and I can just fax the application form to them with just a photocopy of my credit cards and no need submit the other troublesome documents. Faxed in the application to AMEX about lunch time. Wonder how long it takes to get it approved and want to see if the credit limit given to me will me higher or lower than my Charged Card (oh yes, there is a credit limit for charged card too).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

For AMEX Charge card issued by MBB, we only can view the statement through AMEX website?

While for AMEX Credit card issued by MBB, we can view it through MBU & AMEX website?

Are my statement correct?

@Dozz,
I'm a little unclear now.  Is this Amex Gold Credit Card issued by Amex or Maybank?!  Statements for Amex Gold Credit Card will be available where?  Amex website or M2U?
