QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Mar 16 2009, 03:31 PM) @RockIron, Yes please do check if Amex can give me a waiver for a Platinum Charge Card  Also, I just received (and collected!) my iPod Nano 8GB from their current on-going promotion.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Mar 17 2009, 12:51 PM) @Dozz, Amex didn't give me a waiver on my Amex Platinum Credit Card. I had to pay a whopping RM800 for but since it came with the Shangri-la Prestige Card and a RM2k Longines watch I figured I'll bite it and pay the RM800! *gulp* Perhaps I could get a waiver on the 2nd year?! I've spent enough in my first couple of months since I been with Amex. Checked my points, have about 354k points to date. The iPod Nano promotion came as a bonus so I was determined to ensure I was one of the 600 winners !! *grins* Seriously tink, why bother? Shd just cut it & say bye bye to them. RM800 is a lot of $$$ and with the crappy service they been providing, can be put to more use elsewhere. And that's a whole lots of points there, makes us drool only But seriously, if you have still yet to get a SCB card, now would be a good time, what with their guaranteed gifts and all

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Mar 17 2009, 01:16 PM) @tgeoklin, hMm.. I ain't in the market for a credit card so haven't quite been checking what's available in the market. What's this guaranteed gifts with SCB - I should check it out  And yup.. I have absolutely no intentions of paying another RM800 for the 2nd year - so I'll just wait till my 1st year is up, redeem all my points and move on to another bank , unless of course Amex offers me a waiver. I'm still waiting for RockIron to get back to me on the waiver of the Amex Platinum Charge Card  I guess I just want that for show! hAHahAHhahAHahA Show off Anyway, do check out the SCB site, should be something there to take your fancy

QUOTE(pmsoo @ Mar 26 2009, 04:13 PM) Hi, My CC is ending on Nov 2009. When is a good time to call them to ask for waiver? I Have 3 Maybank CC's, all applied different time, all ending same time  That's good, can resolve all at one shot So do you intend to keep the cards? If so, just pay up. Otherwise, just cancel them all

QUOTE(rockefeller @ Mar 29 2009, 09:41 AM) Just to make it clear, the Amex Platinum Charge Card is still the most prestigious Amex card in Malaysia. Annual income requirement used to be RM 300,000 but has been reduced to RM 190,000. Not ony income evidence required, an applicant must also have strong financial standing as bank statements are required. Proving your salary credited into your account alone will not do. You must have consistent credit balance of six figures to ease the process. If you do not have income documents, you may try applying by submitting copies of FD probably in the region of RM 1 million. On rare occasions, they do grant pre approved Amex Platinum Charge Card to Maybank Wealth Management clients with assets under management of RM 4 million and above with first year annual fee waiver. Subsequently even these big timers must pay their annual fees. Getting annual fee waiver for Amex Platinum Charge Card is almost next to impossible. Its really is just marketing hype as since its a charge card there is effectively no differences on how much you can charge on either your amex personal, gold or plat cards as its all dependent on your actual financial standing, thus even George W Bush only uses a green card for those not in the know In terms of benefits, sorry to say but the Visa Infinite & World Mastercard already surpassed it. Its just an old dinosaur nowadays, reliving its days of glory for all purposes. In time to come, it may probably go the way of Diners, which incidentally is the first charge card to be introduced to the world.

QUOTE(rockefeller @ Mar 30 2009, 08:18 AM) I may be wrong but through experience, American Express Platinum Charge Card's level of service is still much superior compared to Visa Infinite or World Mastercard in more ways than one especially their Customer Service and the willingness of the Concierge to go the extra mile to please its cardmember. Just my 2cents. Previously you may be right but since MBB took over, its been sliding while Visa & Master (referring to the actual Visa/Master concierge service & not the individual bank's CSO) has been improving. At least such was my experience over the past year etc. This post has been edited by tgeoklin: Mar 30 2009, 10:45 AM

QUOTE(wirelessdude @ Apr 2 2009, 04:47 PM) I'm devasted! Had wanted to apply Amex to collect Enrich miles quicker, especially Amex plat, so I thought start with gold then upgrade later. Mana tau, gold also don't qualify. Why don't you get a CIMB Enrich Plat Mastercard? If you a big spender, they will invite you to their Worldcard later on, which will allow the best enrich miles ever  Btw, any updates from the Rock? Its been awhile This post has been edited by tgeoklin: Apr 3 2009, 08:56 AM

QUOTE(vianc @ Apr 6 2009, 07:15 PM) I think the Plat Credit Cards 10X rewards are good. I think it is the only credit card that has 10x rewards. Do u all know of any other cards with 10x rewards? That's only applicable for a few selected merchants, which most credit cards also offer from time to time.
