hi cute_boiboi, just want to ask when you submit the application? The process is quite fast....
I also got apply for this Gold CC, but until now still can't view inside M2u yet

i official fax in on this Monday (22nd June 2009). Last week fax in not complete and blur. One thing to note, I'm an existing MBB a/c and CC holder. Maybe faster processing & approval.

In overseas, for Centurion Black cardholders, once they go black, they never go back. Same thing applies to Plat cardholders here, very few people are willing to go back to gold, unless the benefits are irresistible!
*
For me, I will go back from Plat -> gold or gold -> classic, if I cannot get AF waiver but I still want to retain the card. So, rather than pay e.g. Gold RM130, I pay RM60 for classic.

RM70 extra may be nothing to some people or for those who want to retain the status or flaunt it.

Heck, if I have a plat, I don't use it in front of girls tongue.gif I still pull out my classic card. The girl likes me because of who I am, not because of I have classic/gold/plat/world/universe/Cybertron card. If she likes me pull out plat card, means she likes my cards, not me. Right ? No ? laugh.gif

Sorry, yesterday watched Transformers sweat.gif

laugh.gif No thanks on high-end chicks. Call me kiamsiap or whatever. I'm a more practical person.

I posted before on one fine day - 31st, at Baskin Robbins opposite Plaza Mont Kiara, most of the people pull out plats to pay for the bucket loads of ice-creams laugh.gif HSBC, UOB, MBB, etc. All plats. There and then, I decided to pull out my classic laugh.gif

Like you all mentioned, nowadays, plat is like degree holders. Throw a stone in a crowd, you can hit several plat holders. sweat.gif

@cute_boboi,
From the last few posts, I guess I can say we're the few who's more realistic and go for benefits and privileges, not status biggrin.gif

I think people like us have our heads on the right way *smiles*
*
Yep, RM70 can go for simple Japanese ala-carte meal for two already. smile.gif Maybe top up a bit only.

QUOTE(winner @ Jun 26 2009, 08:54 PM)
Eh...what I meant was, if the AF for Plat is waiveable, why not possess it if you are qualified? I am also reluctant to pay AF for any cards, not even if the AF is reduced to RM80. It's ridiculous to pay the RM800 AF!I'd rather wait till a clearer situation that AF for Plat is comfirmed waiveable, then I'll decide whether I wanna apply for it. Although the newly-launched Amex gold cc looks OK, it doesn't attract me much compared to other CCs offering high cash rebates. However if Amex Plat cc is also free for life, it will be a different story then!

Anyhow, I think girls are more concerned about bill settlement by guys rather than seeing what kinda cards guys are holding. I should put a non-discriminatory statement here. smile.gif
*
Oh, if can waive, yes. This is the recent case with me. My Maybankard Amex Credit Card (sorry, I know this is Charge Card thread) 3 yrs waiver is up. I don't like to call up to beg for AF waiver, but this Maybankard Amex (2x TP) serves me well (until last week they announce Amex's Amex rclxub.gif ). I called up nicely to ask for waiver. Finally they waive the RM130 for gold card. If they don't want to waive, my next action is simple. Downgrade to classic, and I pay the smaller AF.

RM800 for the Amex Plat Credit card is way too high for me. I don't utilise the benefits or high-end restaurants or fly a lot nowadays (lounge). I don't golf, I play bedminton badminton. I shop more in Jusco (groceries). Very rare in Parkson for 10x MR. Nowadays, I don't swipe multiple thousands every month. Hence, I did not even think of applying for it.

Haha, what if the guy pulls out plat card, swipe but cannot go through. Finally ask the girl to pay first sweat.gif

Unless MBB is giving me the exact same CL for the other other MBB combined CC.

Added on July 3, 2009, 3:17 pmtinkerbel,

No increase in combined CL. I recall I submited my latest EA to request increase earlier this year and MBB increased it.

For now, I think CL is more than enough to me, as I don't travel frequently anymore.

QUOTE(hueyseng84 @ Jul 3 2009, 03:42 PM)
bro and sis..

I'm quite new to AMEX card... and have a few questions.. hope you guys can shade some light....

1. AMEX credit card that we saw in Maybank2u website is issued by Maybank rite? any difference from the real AMEX?
There is Maybankard Amex (MBB Amex) and American Express Amex (Amex's Amex)
(i) MBB Amex only has Credit Card. The card has MBB logo.
(ii) Amex's Amex has both Charge Card and Credit Card. No MBB Logo.
Both has Amex logo


2. the points for Amex... is it the same as Maybank credit card points..
If MBB Amex, you'll get Treatpoints (TP)
If Amex's Amex, you'll get MR points


3. I have a Maybank Petronas Visa gold card... if the points collected with AMEX card and normal maybank cc card is the same.. i was wondering will be consolidated?
MBB Visa Petronas = TP
If MBB Amex, it is consolidated
If Amex's Amex, it is actually separated


4. Maybank treat fair on the 23, do i need to bring any documents?
To be safe, just bring EA form and 3 mths salary slip. They can help you photocopy IC there

thank you so much...
You are welcomed.

good to hear that you have received the Gold CC.

The Combined Credit Limit can also mean together for supp card (even if you don't have one as it may be a standard paper where card are stuck to)  and not necessary with other MBB cards (?)
*
Have to wait for my first swipe, which won't be so soon. I will still use the MBB Amex Credit Card until 15th July for the 8x promo on petrol and groceries. Registered with that card already and don't want to make myself confused until this 8x promo ends.

I might use it if going dinner/others this weekend that does not come with 8x promo.

cute_boboi:  Amex Gold CC overseas transactions, is the admin fee also 2.5% same as Charged Card?

All: AMEX Gold CC also advertise 0% finance charge until year end. What are the T&C?
*
Yes, the small T&C booklet says overseas is 2.5% for the new Amex's Amex Gold Credit Card

Point 6.2 states combined CL with other MBB CC.

0% finance charge - I don't really understand also, but did not go in-depth, as I don't utilise it.

where you all normally utilize this amex card?

I used in petronas but to bad it was not supported.

I mainly use Amex at:
1) Esso/Mobil + Smiles
2) Jusco + J-card

Others are:
Restaurants, shopping centres

At Petronas, forumers here say must park the Amex CC at cashier there.
