I won't pay 40k for a watch, at least for the time being.

It's actually for the booking fee for some sort of investment.

Do insurance company, general or life, accept Amex credit card? Specifically AXA, Great Eastern and Prudential. Thks.

Great Eastern does not accept Amex.

This is interesting. I thought credit card is credit card but it seems some are not as useful than others. Now I am having 2nd thought as to the usefulness of AMEX. Imagine going traveling and merchant not accepting it here and there.

yeah optilex330, can't buy gsc movie tickets with amex
but maybank amex gives me good rewards. i spend RM5K, they give me RM50 MPH voucher (for example)

Now already changed to Visa. Dam!

Guys, for those who applied for that American Express Gold Credit Card, does your online/e-statement comes seperately from MBB AMEX Gold Or is it combined into one statement?

GE is associated with OCBC.

pay via OCBC card can get cash rebate.

today im just got my hard copy statement. its Amex statement.

It is a fact that Amex is not widely accepted, be it in M'sia or overseas. Therefore, you still need to bring along MC and/or Visa card for backup. I only use Amex cc in petrol stations and hypermarkets. Besides, I also use Amex cc if my Alliance CCs have hit the monthly rebate limit.

You pay RM5 for Amex Gold cc statement?

im only want to stress paying GE premium with OCBC card (vica / mc) can get cash rebate.

RM5 for the paper? no way!

this is my 1st statement, showing zero value and i never opt for paper statement nor e-statement.

The statement option is clearly stated in the application form. RM5 will be charged monthly if you opt for paper statement instead of e-statement. I would suggest you to check with the CS, otherwise RM5 could be charged and shown in your next month statement.

i owned the amex gold charge card. it claimed it has no credit limit. eager to try that out last time when purchasing new car for my sis a month ago. in the end i still resort to old banker's cheque payment. anyone ever swipe 5 or 6 figures amount with your amex charge card? interested to share?

For purchase involving extremely big amount, I guess you still need to inform Amex CS 1st although it is a charge card. If you regularly spend that kinda amount, you then needn't inform Amex prior to the purchase as Amex has already known your spending pattern. Anyway, I have never swiped a card for a 6-figure amount in a single receipt.

that's the only advantage of this card compared to current newly launched amex gold cc - no credit limit! Think someday i'll try that, clear up my house loan...wahaha

For those that using new MBB Amex Gold Credit Card, not sure if your card 4 digit code at front is same as the code advertised on Amex Gold CC leaflets?

ok. noted.

during application, the bank staff never mentioned this to me.

hmmm, if they charge me, i can blame the bank staff.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use credit or charge card to pay monthly installment of your home loan.

You can only pay booking fee via cc if you purchase a new property through developer (if the developer accepts payment of booking fee via cc). Some developers even allow you to pay the down payment (normally 10% of the purchase price) by cc.

btw,

did any1 have tried on the Amex online paying?

oops, the only high amount purchases i can think off are buying house, car & holiday package....i'll cross houses from my list then...

there are some to add: diamond ring, watches...
