wow... thats mean the new Turbo Reward Points no actual expire date but only capped on 200,000 points... thats not too bad at all

Current 2x MR points didnt stated when is the expire date... probably it will be forever 2x?

does turbo points apply for MBB amex credit card?

Nope. MBB Amex credit card only has 2x TP forever. No need pay RM20/50 every year to join the 2x/3x programme.

Dozz, i just got Amex Choices newsletter, the 3x turbo reward ends March 31 2009 or 200000 points whichever earlier.

Choice Newsletter? does it come with your monthly statement? or you actuallt read online?

i received the newsletter, it come with many information about the promotion and redemptions.

Was browsing thru MBB Amex website and saw that 6 months interest free installments extended to March 2009. Previously it was like for 3 months installments.

http://www.maybank2u.com.my/promotions/ame...408/index.shtml

This offer is really great as it is the only true 0% installment scheme as there is no handling or surcharge like UOB or CIMB. On top of that can get2X reward points (or 3x if got turbo).

This promotion must be overwhelming, that why they keep extended it. I wish to buy myself a laptop soon, probably can consider this instalment plan

I wish to get one also, but then really a lot of places now don;t accept AMEX. too bad.

and get 2x reward points too

I always hear people say above. I have no problems using my Amex, it can be used at all Dept Stores/Hypermarket, Petrol Stations, Hotels, Restaurants, branded clothing stores, electronic/electrical stores and most shops at 1U/Midvalley and even at night spots. Years ago, when i was studying in US, i even bought my car using Amex! Even Dell accept Amex FYI. And if the shop don't accept Amex, you got CC what.

Seriously with 2X reward points and earning points for pumping petrol, AMEX is the way to go if you do not need credit facility i.e. credit card.

If you go compare reward points for redemption, Amex is the best. Only 2 months ago redeem RM340 food vouchers, going to redeem another RM300 Dome and TGIF vouchers next week

Since the 2x reward points was extended (i have subsequently enroll for turbo), i have been using Amex for almost all my transactions; and i have UOB, HLB, HSBC, Alliance & DA platinum CC and 2 normal CC which is just taking up space in my wallet so i leave a few in my drawer. Amex is the only card i can't leave home without

Do you need to call up again for continue the turbo membership? or they will automatic renew it?

I have a few questions about AMEX Charge Card and AMEX Platinum Credit Card.

1. If i have no intention to convert my "membership rewards points" to frequent flyer miles, does it mean i do not have to enroll in the frequent traveler option, which has an annual fee of RM50 inclusive of non-frequent traveler option ?

2. Does it mean no "membership rewards points" for me if i did not enroll in the non-frequent traveler option which cost RM25/pa ?

3. Can the annual fee of the AMEX Platinum Credit Card be waived ? I know you guys have said it cannot be waived but in other countries, the annual fee of AMEX Platinum CREDIT CARD actually can be waived. Only the AMEX Platinum CHARGE CARD can't.


Thanks. Appreciate it !

AMEX charge card can be linked into our maybank2u?

For charge card it can not be link to your maybank2u.... must go to americanexpress.com.my web site.

bro =) if this is ur first usage on the card for RM120K , chances are your transaction might get refered.although no preset spending limit but charges are approved based on your spending pattern. best call maybank prior to your large purchase


.

1. Yes. basically if you dont wish to transfer points to partner frequent flyer, just opt for the non frequent traveler option.
2. Yes. No enrollment= no points =) its only rm25 p/a and points are evergreen
3. Due to the outweight benefits , all AMEX platinum cards are fee paying cards regardless of credit or charge =)

Just joking la... RM120k to spend on car and must be settled on due date when bill comes.. siao meh!!!

What makes AMEX special are the wide arrange of benefits & recognition whenever you go,attractive rewards and a world class service to all card holders
Would your card provider call you up to ask if you are okay or in need of assistance in the event of natural disaster struck the country that you're visiting?
Would your other card provider go to the extend of charting a helicopter/flight to rescue/transport card holders that was stranded in a foreign country due to political turmoil/nautral disaster?

Well AMEX does ..how i know? i did the calls ocassionally lol
