I got a call recently from MBB offering Amex CHARGE card. I asked CS what is the difference, since I'm using MBB Amex CC. The unlimited credit, which must be settled every month.

MBB Amex CC also 2x treatpoints, 2x at all petrol pump, etc. Seems like no different with my current spending pattern, hence I decline it.

Just stick to the ones you are familiar and comfortable with, most of these schemes are only temporarily and doesnt last long

Does anyone notice we still earning 2x membership points even this promotion already expired? i think they already extended without inform us. lol...

So far, MBB Amex CC 2x TreatPoints is forever

Nothing new for AMEX lately.. hope they will come out more exciting promotion soon!

american express under maybank's management seems to lack interesting activity even lifestyle events. i remember getting an invitation to go cruising on a luxury liner a few years ago. lately theyve been pretty boring!

we shall wait and see......

WoW! American Express just launched a new product - American Express Platinum Credit Card...

- Annual Fee: RM800.00 (free 2 supp. cards + complimentary Prestige Platinum card for discounts on food and beverage as well as accommodation at the Shangri-La Hotel)

Hmm... current normal MBB Amex CC already has 2x TP forever. No need apply and pay to enable the 2x. My opinion is, unless you utilise the platinum benefits for personal/business reason, otherwise it is just a Wow Factor to get the card.

amex cc? amex has always been a chargecard? what's with the credit card?

how different would it be?

did you mean you'll get UNLIMITED credit as to an amex charge card to amex credit card?

but i do like the design.. amex 'troll' looks cool..

MBB Amex CC is different from this new platinum card... this card is issued and owned by American Express itself, no maybank logo on the card and also different customer service from ordinary MBB amex cards.
However, if you have time to look and compared Treatpoints and Membership Reward Points, you will find membership reward point is more attractive than treatpoints!

Is it possible to get the AMEX Platinum Credit Card annual fee waived ?

From what i heard, first year is unable to waived but then subsequent years maybe ok to waive depend on the usage of your card.

MilesAndMore : are you gonna to apply?

Yeah, the higher points stuff looks better in Amex membership rewards

I did a quick comparison to find a similiar item: RM50 Parkson Voucher
MBB Amex Credit Card = 8,000TP
Amex = 9,000 MR

The new Amex Platinum design looks nice

sorry oh... no waiver one... unless u got plat charge card la...

hey guys! how many of you willing to pay RM23x0 per year for AMEX platinum charge and new credit cards? any opinions?

No. But my dad is considering and if he really apply for one then i'll just ask him to sup one for me. He got several Plat cards and all of them are free for life.


Oh, i see. But i thought it is the Platinum Charge Card you cannot get the annual fee waived ?


My dad sure won't. LOL ! Because he is spoiled with this free for life Plat Cards which he have been using for years from Citibank, Standard Chartered and HSBC.

i also got plat cards from other banks... yes, so far all of them annual fee can be waived..... for amex one, still considering.. cos it is really too $$$! haha... if they give 5x for every dollar spend everywhere, i will say worth it. lol....

Not me. Even in the future if I have net income of RM1 million/year, I will still think many times paying >RM200/yr for a credit/charge card fees.

I mean, frankly I prefer to donate the RM2k to charity like MAA-Medicare Kidney Charity Fund or something else.
