QUOTE(pmsoo @ Feb 13 2009, 04:31 PM) When i first started using my amex card last year may til october/november, there weren't any issue with shell at all. I do encounter problem like you every now and then. The ONLY way is to go into the shell counter and swipe and sign. That works everytime. Sometimes it works outside, sometimes it dont. It is bizarre, i also don't really care about it anymore actually. Sometimes first time fail, second time can 
Added on February 13, 2009, 4:32 pmmind you, the station that i have the most trouble is shell @ glenmarie so that's within klang valley so your theory is not correct.. The conspiracy is bigger that that  I seldom pumped Shell but my experiences with two Shell stations at Penang gave no headache to me. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Feb 13 2009, 02:32 PM) @tgeoklin, I checked with Amex on the promo but apparently it's based on posting date. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I'll be one of them for month of December  Yeap, that's true but must be within the month ie. last month transaction posted this month does not count, thus I was so told by their CS. Or maybe my luck not good, tried the Std Chart contest 3 months already also never win anything as well  though been spending like hell. Hopefully can get the travel bags set  |

@tgeoklin, Serious?! Well they didn't tell me that but that certainly doesn't make sense. Well at least I know I made a RM3k swipe on the 1st of the month and there was also a posting made for a transaction I did about 2 days before which exceeded RM3k so I guess I'm still being hopeful an iPod will be delivered to me soon |

True true, at least the MBF get 5 was clear. The Amex promotions are never really clear plus nobody goes around auditing them so they can do whatever the hell they want behind the scenes.

How long u received ur's after hit the 20k spending??? i hit the 20k in the first month , but they send the watch 3 months later, that is because i make a call to their CS and ask them about the watch and they said normally they will only send it out after 6 months but since i have reach the spending earlier than the due , they arrange it faster but also took for more than 3 months  . You can try to call up their CS and ask about this. |

Sometimes first time fail, second time can Well, just as the case with Petronas stations, I will immediately consult the counter staff if my AMEX got rejected at the pump. Oddly, the Shell staff at the counter also said "kad American Express memang tak boleh encik". It's like a deja vu with Petronas stations that I've encountered. |

@RockIron,
Check with the CS on your Longine watch. I got my letter of redemption in January - i don't remember which month it was that I hit the RM20k. I haven't had time to go make the collection but will be at KLCC this week so will go get it! It came too late so couldn't use it as Christmas gift *siGh*
@my44,
Thus far, all the Shell stations I've been has no problem accepting Amex... the problematic stations are the Petronas ones!

tinkerbel,

@Reventon,
I got a letter asking me to go into the store to make a redemption. If I ain't mistaken, there are only like 4 places. Where are U based? Perhaps for those based in KL, they need to go pick up the watch instead of it being couriered?
I wonder if I be able to change for something else.. Damn.. too bad none of the shops for redemption listed are shops I frequent *siGh*

i reside in kl , but it does save me lots of time by sending me the watch directly. Not really a nice watch to be frank. Haha.

3 places do not accept AMEX: Kedai Tenaga, KFC, Perodua Service Centre.
