Not really as there are lots of supp cards around ie. due to FOC etc. tongue.gif

Perhaps guanteik meant the principal holders themselves ? *grins*

@guanteik,
Giving U the information will give an indication to the entire forum how much we earn; U think people are going to answer that question truthfully or not? tongue.gif

Well, the way it was worded not specific enough, I guess tongue.gif

@Reventon,
It's weird because when I indicated I'll cancel my card, Amex said, oK.. they'll allow me to cancel my card.  They didn't offer to waive my RM800 so I went ahead to make that payment (that was last year when I initially got the card)

I sure hope they be able to waive it for me this year though - but like U said, better find a way out first biggrin.gif

@princess_autumn87,
You're so lucky!!
*
Actually I think what princess did was to cancel the card and they waived off the annual fee as it was not fair to charge since only had the card for around 3 months or so ie. card a/c closed unlike when you choose to continue the a/c. So if you had cancel when you first received the annual fee, they would also have waived it off as well but then you won't be having further use of the card tongue.gif

@tgeoklin,
I did contact the CS when I saw the RM800 AF charged to my bill about 2 months after I got the card; but they didn't want to waive it off for me.  I told them I'd applied for the Gold card but they'd sent me the Platinum instead and if the RM800 cannot be waived then I don't want the card.  Their respond to me (and I even have it in writing) is that they will cancel the existing Platinum card.  No waiver was ever given to me!! *hmph*

*
Must be they saw your big fat account balance and knew they got you good tongue.gif

Anyway, based on your case its exactly like Princess, they will not waive, can only cancel. So if you had cancelled, then you also need not pay the annual fee as that's what I think Princess was trying to say. hmm.gif

@cute_boboi,
The bad thing about paying through Amex is that you either walk into the Maxis centre to make the payment or do a direct debit.  Cannot pay via Online Payment!! sad.gif
*
You can pay by phone ie. call 123 and get it down either manually or automatically. tongue.gif

@tgeoklin,
Oh U can ah?! Now I didn't know that.. but paying by phone would mean I need to give the person on the line my CC number + CCV number, right?!  Doing that once a month doesn't make the card too secured!
*
Yes you can but its only for the first time when registering your card. After that you just select your card type and key in the CCV plus amount to be paid via the auto system. Very simple and easy. Can pay anytime, anywhere in M'sia tongue.gif

I contacted Amex this morning to check on the payment of utility bills via phone.  Apparently, it's not allowed.  The only way to pay is either through auto direct debit or to walk into the merchant sad.gif
*
Dear, it not Amex but Maxis you got to call to register your Amex card. As far as Amex is concerned, its a normal ad-hoc merchant transaction. Fyi I got Visa, Master, Amex & Diners all registered and can pay anytime via calling Maxis at 123 whenever I feel like it.

Oh, at times the CS at Maxis will be trained to decline charge card and insist only on Visa/Master only. Just tell them you do not own any cc and only have charge card. That should make it easier to get their understanding tongue.gif

Oh. So meaning I gotta call Maxis.  oKies... and what about the rest of the Utility bills; TM, TNB, etc?

For TM or TNB, only option is direct debit by the company concerned to your Amex card, which can be arranged via Amex's office sad.gif

Dozz, when you last call them? I called them last Thursday and was informed application approval pending my supp IC  (I faxed them like 1 week before that and the CS handling my case did not receive it and sat on my application) so asked the guy attedning to me on the phone why can't MBB check with Charged Card Dept. Anyway I just called them and my application has been approved yesterday. The CS told me should be getting the card in 2 to 3 days time.

You guys mentioned that CL wil be shared among other MBB CC. Wonder what will be my CL for AMEX Gold CC, because last month applied for MBB Petronas Gold and for income I just filled >RM50K and they only gave me RM20K CL which is fine as how much petrol I can fill. If my AMEX CC Gold share the same CL with my Petronas Card, then it will be the lowest CL I will have, even my RHB Evo and Citibank ClearCard has higher CL.
*
Look on the bright side, there will be plenty of room for your CL to grow tongue.gif

@vampbreak,
Er.. U never been to the US but U called and ask to make a hotel reservation? hMm.. I'm surprised the rates are as good as that of the internet - well at least now that's an option or avenue.  I could always give it a try but am not travelling for the next few months.

Thanks for the info though

@winner,
vampbreak shared earlier that his Centurion is a supplementary from someone in AU hence it's FOC.

Per my experience, if you stay at the starwood or hyatt chain of hotels, the Amex rates are equal if not better than their net rates. However, do understand, the charges into your Amex will incur the additional translation charges etc tongue.gif
