QUOTE(Dozz @ Jul 7 2009, 02:18 PM) Different cards come with different benefits and privileges, sometime one card does not satisfied our needs Now you mention it, the Amex Concierge Service is really good!!.. I try to use it at fully book hotel in new york times square during Christmas/new year and surprisingly Amex ring me and said "We have room available at the hotel for you sir. Would you like to proceed ?" Anyone try use the concierge service yet ? |

I never been to US la. I just check the price on the internet and ring the hotel. No room available. I ring AMEX, and ask them to book at the same hotel, the same day, in 15 minutes they ring me back and have room available for me. For the price, i still get the same price as per internet rate. Where did you book the hotel ? Maybe it's vary depend on hotels ?

QUOTE(winner @ Jul 7 2009, 03:19 PM) This not only pleases those who always pay minimum, but also benefits people who make payment promptly like us. I got a 3-month interest free when I got my Alliance cc early this year. I reserved the fund in the FD and earned some interest for that tenure. You may think the interest is peanut but if you make big purchase, a few hundred RM of interest is better than nothing. It's supplementary card. Therefore no AF. I'm not that rich lor..Mind to share how did you manage to get AF waiver for your Centurion Black card? Or is it a new card and the bank gives you free for the 1st 3 years? QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 7 2009, 03:20 PM) @vampbreak, I just try the concierge service when I first get my black card. My principal card holder give a go ask me to try it Er.. U never been to the US but U called and ask to make a hotel reservation? hMm.. I'm surprised the rates are as good as that of the internet - well at least now that's an option or avenue. I could always give it a try but am not travelling for the next few months. QUOTE(tgeoklin @ Jul 7 2009, 05:24 PM) You have taste and lucky got plat card as well. Their priority reservations will ensure you get the best seats at the house. I have to say Cirque Du Soleil was fabulous but did not managed to catch Zumanity. Too bad Celion Dion stint's now over. Damn good and better than the BD/DVD copy now on sale. Another to recommend is the Bluesman Show. Tinkerbel must be the richest lady in here eh ? Make your date and enjoy yrself Added on July 7, 2009, 5:39 pm QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 7 2009, 05:11 PM) @tgeoklin, I'm in Sydney. Call me lah leng lui when you come down under ~ hEHehhe.. well, Amex has been pretty lenient; the last time I needed additional CL they gave me RM50k when I called them - and that was enough to tie me over. Also, I don't have a habit of using my CC when I'm abroad, usually go cash Vegas.. Yes.. I think I'll die with all those performances there.. been waiting to catch Cirque Du Soleil's O & Zumanity!! muAhahAHahHAHA This post has been edited by vampbreak: Jul 7 2009, 05:39 PM |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 7 2009, 05:46 PM) @tgeoklin, No problem. I belanja you cappuccino dekat starbuck with my black card. As usual the the counter girl will say "Ni Kad Ape Ni Encik? Tak Pernah Tengok Pun. Ada Kad Lain Tak?" No reason for Amex Australia to give me an Australian issued card since I'm not based there. Er.. Yes S&A and U shouldn't believe what others mention about me on other threads @vampbreak, OOh! I thought you're back in KL QUOTE(hueyseng84 @ Jul 7 2009, 05:46 PM) He or She ? I'm confuse now.. QUOTE(tgeoklin @ Jul 7 2009, 05:55 PM) Thanks dear, for the clarification. My apologies for any misunderstanding. But back on track, its not essential for black card holder to be domicile anywhere since the world your home, so why restrict yourself to any country, right? Never mind middle age, dinosaur or reptile. As long as look like Megan Fox and dint drive MPV Actually, by today's standard middle age is pretty subjective but if its any consolation, I am probably defined as a dinosaur when so benchmarked QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 7 2009, 06:00 PM) @tgeoklin, That why you only want to stay as supplementary not principal.. You haf a point but unlike some people, I rather not get stuck holding a Centurion and having to pay loads of AF cause the $ for the AF can be used for something else; for example the trip to Vegas perhaps *shrugs* Ah well.. I think we're probably in the same age group, or if not, at least in the same generation Let someone do the hard work and you earn the benefit This post has been edited by vampbreak: Jul 7 2009, 06:15 PM |

You give me too much credit. Chances are we are at least a generation apart. Thankful I still not feel my age As to the AF, maybe some generous gentleman here would like to supp you one for free? Added on July 7, 2009, 6:42 pm We all here are VERY Gentleman. But we don't have Centurion. On the other hand, Tinkerbel is rich rich lady! Maybe she want to supp us with her plat ?? Eh ? Eh ? |

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Jul 7 2009, 10:53 PM) Guess it is normal for many for us to have many cards, I myself got 1 charged card and 10 CC and I don't pay AF for any of them Eh Gen-X, If I do that "rich and famous" swipe, I will ending up bankrupt lah By the way, rather than buying a plane, how about taking over a few company and becoming CEO is just one swipe away..~ This post has been edited by vampbreak: Jul 8 2009, 08:39 AM |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 8 2009, 09:27 AM) @vampbreak, U could do that but IMHO U'd better not waste $ cause if U don't know how manage those companies, U'll end up losing them and perhaps your Centurion with it too |

Tinkerbel
I'm working worldwide. Currently I was in Australia. More than 2 years now. I go back to MY every 6 month. I apply JustOne card with fax. I use my address in MY for the application. And since they cannot contact me with my maxis no, that why they declined the application. Hope you are crystal clear now : @Gen-X, It's ok.. I've loads of friends in your age group too! Ah well... I was kinda mean to "ahem" (thank God he hasn't found this thread or we'll haf no peace and quiet here!) and starting reporting a couple of his threads [/quote] Can.. No problem. Doesn't cost me anything. This post has been edited by vampbreak: Jul 8 2009, 12:34 PM |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 8 2009, 12:44 PM) @vampbreak, Ahehe. What to do. English not so good. I apply for JustOne because I don't have any mastercard cc.

QUOTE(tgeoklin @ Jul 11 2009, 09:43 AM) Er.. thank you so much for the info. Good to know from the end user rather than CS.. QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 11 2009, 09:59 AM) @vampbreak, Tinkerbel, I just asking la. Just in case people ask me I can answer with confident.. U oredi haf the Centurion and that supercedes the Platinum so Y even bother with the Platinum? Also, we've discussed it at lengths here that the benefits aren't worth RM2k and most of us are just too cheapskate to even want to pay the RM2k! I know for a fact I wouldn't. |

Tinkerbell, that why I ask if anyone here holding that card.
Anyway, something I want to share with you guys. I book my flight ticket to Malaysia with concierge service today plus an accommodation for 3 days in KL. They give me 15% off if I stay on their listed hotel or 5% discount on other hotel. Transit limo from KLIA to KL is complimentary. I read previously that someone mention about extra charge on concierge service and I hope this can make it clear. If anyone experience something different, please share. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 12 2009, 06:16 PM) @vampbreak, Tinkerbell, I don't think anyone mentioned extra charges; we just said things booked through Concierge Services may be more expensive but we're not too sure. Perhaps, let us know which hotel you've booked urself into and we'll do a comparison to costs - will also need to have check-in and check-out dates & room category booked into Btw U coming back from Sydney?

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 13 2009, 04:05 PM) @vampbreak, Yerp. Flight ticket also by Amex. But not many diff. Only 103 MYR cheaper. Eh.. did U book the air ticket via Amex or U just asked them to make the hotel reservations and the airport limo was complimentary? Or U can get that complimentary even without using Amex? Er.. Yes I want the iPhone 3GS - can ah?! --Added-- Eh btw... RM260++ is close to RM300. How did u get RM78 for the 3 nights?! I thought you have iphone olredi! I believe that RM78 is service charge and tax ? This post has been edited by vampbreak: Jul 13 2009, 05:11 PM |
