You can buy a brand new property directly from developer then. I came across a project which allows customer paying a whopping RM60k of booking fee by cc. And of course, the total purchase price is huge.

This is where VISA and Mastercard come in handy


In the States people use AMEX charge card to pay for private jet plane bill as well as to pay for Bentley, Lexus etc. You might want to give it a try


You mean paying your AMEX via M2U ?

Care to give more details? How much is the rebate and is there any annual fees?

Thanks.

there's no limit, but they have an unwritten single transaction limit assigned to you i.e. they would most likely block a transaction above rm xx.
before making large really large swipes, you can just call them up to inform them. once they approve it, you'll swipe with no problems. and if you settle promptly, your single transactionl limit will default to the particular large amount you swiped and settled.

i plan to apply for amex gold credit card.
it states that the Required documents are:

1.Copy of NRIC (both sides) or Passport, including that of supplementary applicant's
2.Latest BE form with official tax receipt
3.Latest 2 months' salary slips
4. Latest 3 months' savings account activity/current account statements

question is.. do i have to submit all these documents? it's a bit troublesome for me to get 2. and 4.

anyone can share? thanks.

Photostat of your existing card and it's statement will do sometimes.

I also did not tick the 5 bucks statement and i receive it..


I tried paying AMEX through Maybank2u and it updated immediately..

Yeah, photocopy your current credit card more than 12 months and IC will be enough

If you are existing Maybank Credit card holder, it will be more simple, just fax the form together with IC to AMEX office.

You needn't provide all those P&C documents. You can only provide a copy of your 1) IC and 2) existing cc (must be Gold cc or above) which has been used for more than 12 months. If you don't have item no. 2, you then need to provide your latest 2 month's salary slip.

Amex's Amex Gold CC is in separate statement. The other MBB master/visa all in another separate single statement rojak.

i browse thru amex malaysia website, it seems that there are 2 platinum amex in their list.
a) AMEX platinum credit card (annual fee:rm800)
b) The Platinum card (annual fee:rm2380)
i do not know what is the difference in the benefit since the annual fee different by so much. I was told that AMEX platinum, cannot apply, it is by invitation only, what abt access to the airport lounge worldwide. Both above cards gain u the free access? anyone know abt it?

tks to Optiplex330,aeronlim and winner.

@cute_boboi,
Thanks for the reply Luckily the seperated it else it really look messy...

The main difference is that the (a) is a credit card, where you have a credit limit, and can't spend beyond that before settling at least a portion of the bill.

The 2nd is a charge card, where you have no pre set spending limit. But for charge cards, you can't choose to pay a minimum amount in a month (since you don't have an actual line of credit),and thus would have to settle the bill in full each month if u want to continue using it.

Not too sure, but yea, I believe you can't just apply for The Plat Card.

The significantly higher fee for the charge card is because of its' prestige, as well as additional benefits. (refer to amex malaysia website and compare the 2)

unfortunately no private jet service here. i want to fly to bali, rent a Bentley & sip martini before going on gambling cruise!

but i think i will pokai faster afterwards...

i mean online purchase. like buying GSC movie tickets, pay Air Asia tickets... etc etc

i wish i have the details, but its hard to find.

annual fees shd be waived. but i dun know the condition.

I finally went down to Great Eastern office and got details of this OCBC-GE card and here are the details.

Payment of GE insurance 3% with maximum of RM450 a year
Retail rebate is tiered starting from 0.5% and once above RM20,000, it is 3% with a maximum of RM3000 a year.

Annual fee is RM138 and only 1st year free.

And this morning, I found this:

What i don't quite understand is these are not considered retail purchases:
Recurring Payment/Auto Debit transactions, Easi-Payment Plan (EPP), Balance Transfers, Cash
Advance, Call-for-Cash, Dial-a-Cash, Dial-a-Cheque,

There is private jet charter service in Malaysia. The fee is HUGE. It costs >100k from KL to Middle East.


This cc gives good rebate for GE premium but small percentage of rebate for other transactions, and no reward points will be given.

It is FOC for 1st year. Request for AF waiver for second year onwards WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED. See the link below.

Purchase over RM20,000 is 3%. At that rate, there is no need for anymore reward points. So if you want to buy big ticket items up to RM100,000, this is very enticing indeed because it is giving you back RM3000.
