Dunno la, not really thrilled with branded Longines watch to spend X/Y/Z thousand amount in a month.

Maybe next time got offer for cool gadgets like iPod and iPhone, then I'll find excuse to spend that much money early that month.

Petrol station already discussed countless times. In short, Petronas nope except "manual enter" or whatever, didn't bother to ask further.

Shell yes, Caltex yes, BHP maybe yes, Esso yes.

How do you guys know what was your before and after points? My online billing in americanexpress.com only displays the latest MR points, no history view. And I didn't remember what was my points the past few days.

Yeap, my charge card also only accessible via amexmalaysia.com but detailed of MR points accrued is not readily available, only the latest points being shown.

I count left and right, up and down. x2 x3 x4 x5 x6. Cannot find how they come up with the remaining 6x TP.  rclxub.gif  Seems like it is not only me.

I have my own Excel worksheet for each transaction.  sweat.gif

Darn, spreadsheet, wow!

That's the thing, it's hard to track these points. Assuming Amex CS is only slightly better than Maybank CS, you will need a full expenditure report to fight with them. Otherwise they'll claim those are your only 6x points.

Dear all

After thorough discussion with AMEX CS just now and after receiving both Gold Charge card and Credit card, here are the important details:

Charge Card
- annual fee about RM100+ but at the moment still waived
- balance and MR points can check at amexmalaysia website, not mb2u
- turbo rewards 3x is available for RM50 fee
- no differentiation in purchase of petrol, grocery, book store, all with receive either 2x or 3x MR points with or without turbo rewards

Credit Card
- lifetime annual fee waiver
- balance is available in mb2u, at this moment its says Treatspoint but it is actually MR points, mb2u is trying to fix this
- no turbo rewards 3x MR points available
- 5x MR points for petrol, grocery, etc as advertised, but other purchases will only get 2x

In short, I ll continue to use both cards for different purpose to maximise MR points. But if no more waiver for charge card in next few years, this one has to go.
