I won the Ipod... it's delivered straight to your home

*typo*

@princess_autumn87,
As I've mentioned, some of us got the iPod and Longines Timepiece delivered to our homes.  Others have had to go pick it up.  There's an advantage to picking it up though, U get to choose the colour U want

Did anyone of u receive the 8x point for your AMEX credit/ charge card in the promotion previously?
They promise after 2-3 weeks will put the remaining 6x point to our account

hahahhhhhaaa...r u carzyyyy or no thinking or what. pay RM2380 for annual fee? it not worth lar...
because it is not ur own money so u suggest other ppl to accept it?
not worth it. dad got it before, but has since cancelled it because the benefit is so so only and annual fee is too high...

@princess_autumn87,
Er.. salesperson ?!  Er.. Sorry but are U referring to the Platinum Credit Card which is open to all, or the Charge Card?! 

PS: Maybe I'm just jealous cause I've not been invited by the bank to even decline the offer

@ellimist,
The benefits of the Charge Card doesn't really outweigh that of the Credit Card; maybe we don't have this 80% discount on air travel but that's based on rack rates so that may still be more expensive *shrugs*.  Also the airport lounge is limited to that of KLIA.  The Visa Infinite cards give worldwide access

And now.. I need to check out the Limousine Transfer thingy to see if any of me cards have it; haven't used any of these before and I think it's high time I started making use of it

Dude chill, everyone has his own opinion. Don't have to start bout being crazy and all the bull.

If they were inviting me, and I would utilize the privileges, I would personally pay it myself. We're here to express opinions and give suggestions, I'm not as childish as to ignore another's monetary aspects just "because it's not my own money"

As I said, if it's really useful, I think it's worth the price and prestige. Not everyting has to be measured in quantitative benefits. (i.e. I must save more than RM2.3k before I pay out an annual fee of RM2.3k) There're other qualitative aspects as well. Don't be such a chinaman, might I say.

Also, if 2.3k in a year is relatively immaterial to the person, what's the big fuss?

Anyways, additional benefits I suppose, are mainly, as below:
Which is relatively useful if one is a real frequent travel. (say, for business purposes)

Hmm 80% is quite a decent percentage, even if rates are racked a lil. Would think that if you take into account regular rates, you should be able to save. Don't compare to promotional stuff of course. Which once against ties back to the fact that if you need to fly frequently (and thus can't wait for promotions), that feature might just be useful as well.

As for the lounge, I thought there's - "Other Travel Privileges : International Airport Lounge Access, International Limousine Service, Private Jet"

Wasn't someone just talking bout private jets recently in here? =p

Yea, must admit, other cards have the limo thingie as well. My fren says it helps his dad alot, when he suddenly needs to fly. No idea what card his dad uses for that feature though.
Haha yea, seems tailored to that kinda ppl huh.
Thank you princesss =)
Well yea, I know it's definately not worthwhile taking the card for ppl like us. Was just trying to show another point in view. You know, just in case Dozz flys a gazillion times a week. The benefits might just make life that much more luxurious for him
I don't even earn 6 figures per annum

Hmm out of curiousity, say taking our Malaysian tycoons as an example; does Amex offer the Centurion to ppl like them in M'sia?

Ah ok, you fly alot on business? Or pleasure o_O

If you do take the card, let us know how it us, you know, if the travel benefits are really as good as they sound. Maybe you can tempt Dozz into accepting it =p
Was actually wondering if they even offer the card here. Just assumed they stopped at Plat in terms of charge card for our market

Did you mean that, if you were to pay the RM2380 AF for Amex Plat charge card, they would give you an Amex Plat credit card FREE FOR LIFE?

As far as I know, Amex can only give first year AF waiver for its Plat credit card.
Thank you for OVERRATING me.

This is interesting. This is the 1st time I hear about "free for life" AMEX PLAT CREDIT CARD.

However, are you sure that the PLAT CREDIT CARD will still be FOC if you discontinue to pay the 2nd year AF for the PLAT CHARGE CARD?

Wow nice, do update us all stage by stage if you're free =p
(eg : from the time u receive the card, start using it, etc)

Edit :
@Woodstock : Just call em up, and explain that you're be buying a laptop when. I'm quite sure they'll be fine with temporarily increasing it.

You can't pay for your AMEX Gold CC (the one without Maybank logo) via any Maybank CDM. Not really sure if you can transfer money from your Maybank savings/checking account but last time i always helped my mom to pay her AMEX Personal charge card bill over the counter. But since it is always hard to find a parking space at the Maybank building, i decided to apply for a Maybank savings account. Now i usually go to Maybank at night to deposit some money into my savings account, then i will go home and transfer the money to AMEX via M2U. It is so much more convenient this way 

@princess_autumn87

In addition to that, the CS did inform me something interesting about the fee.

For plat charge, they will give you another plat charge card with word "A/C" on the card after your name to seperate between personal and business use. This is free and available upon request.

For the plat cc, it's free unless you cancel your plat charge card. Which means, if you cancel you plat charge, then you have to pay for the plat cc e:g RM 800p/a.

And oh, the will bill you the MYR 2380 anual fee immediately after you received the card.

do you try at the pump or at the counter?

Yes.. i have bought a macbook pro from machine at around April this year using Amex , the only thing is they are not the platinum partners already  .

By the way i have put up the request for waiving Amex plat AF . Now waiting for Amex to contact me after this. Let's wait and see how is it.

Actually i have a HSBC VISA and HSBC Mastercard. Both cards are given single credit limit. I was told they couldn't combine the credit line of these two cards. Basically both cards are of the same status 



The rate is based on AMEX own exchange rate, not Maybank's.

For Express Autopay, you can get 5x MR points for telco, TM and TNB.
