amex credit card and charge card managed by different department. i would said charge card customer service is better and more pro

I am a little confused about the requirements now as I talked to a few agents and all of them say differently.

Basically they mentioned need to have EA form whereas some say if you have EPF statement, you need not include the EA form and some say need at least 10k credit limit in another type of credit card as a proof.

Actually to those that managed to apply the charge card, what documents you submitted?

I received two times offer from maybank for Amex card offer.

Why need to convert treat point into membership point and what is the benefits if opt to convert?

brother....

amex plat charge card and amex plat credit card is under same customer service dept.

sorry i mean MBB amex credit card... not the new plat credit card launch recently... hahaha...

I didn't realize Amex had a credit card aside from the one MBB offers, so I browsed around the American Express website a little bit. I guess Amex in Malaysia has different cards from the US ones. The only credit card from Amex available in the US is the Blue card, the rest are standard charge cards.

Me, I'm happily using my green Amex charge card for many many years already. I don't travel enough and can't justify spending the $450 for a Platinum card

Not really. In the US, besides the Blue credit card (which is also offered in Singapore), there are Delta Airlines SkyMiles Gold, Preferred Gold, Business Gold and Platinum AMEX.

By the way, an American friend of mine told me there is no annual for the AMEX Platinum credit card in US. I didn't believe at first. So i checked its website and my friend apparently wasn't bullshitting. So i think i will only get an AMEX card when i go to US next year

The New Platinum Credit Card is the first and only credit card issued by AMEX Malaysia. Yes, In USA or Australia they have many type of credit cards (classic, gold, blue). I owned an AMEX blue card from Australia.. its free for life and the design is COOL

$450 for a plat card? what you mean???

The annual fee for the Amex platinum charge card is $450 in the US and as far as I know the platinum charge card fee cannot be waived.

yes, i heard no matter how much you spend.. plat charge card fee will never waived. in Malaysia it cost RM2380 per year... what you think?

Just got my new charge card from american express. do i need to call up to enroll the reward program?

Wow! The Turbo point program is extended for another year... mean we can earn 3x points for whatever we spend.. this is real good

Please elaborate, is this for your new Plat Amex CC or for Charge Card? Need to enroll?

Recently i have been swiping my citibank visa as got 8X rewards points but if not mistaken it is based on average. Still prefer Amex previous 2X for whatever purchase. Already redeemed all my Amex points, if got 3X reward points, i starting swiping using Amex again

For charge card application, i only provide them my photocopy credit card (more than 2 years and higher limit card) and ic (both side). thats all! i got my card approved in ard 2 weeks time.

This program has been extended for another year. if you previously enrolled on this program.. you do not need to enroll again... RM50 program fee will automatic charge to your account soon. So we have another year to enjoy 3x on every spend

my bad bro, your are right it is only 2x for citibank. i must have got confused with the so called "8reat offer". Got to charge 8x for get 2x reward.

If I didn't enroll in the Turbo Reward Points program, do I get 2x points?

Yes i think so... its open to all charge card members for free!

Dozz, i just checked my statement and called AMEX, i did get 2x reward points for last month statement Also i just called AMEX to enrol in Turbo Reward Points which cost me RM50, with Turbo Reward, we get 3X reward points.

The customer service guy told me that the Turbo Reward Points will expire once I reach 200,000 points.

Looks like i be using my AMEX more often now instead of just using it at Mobil/Esso.
