QUOTE(lauyamonk @ Nov 8 2007, 02:18 PM) For Malaysia highest ranking card is Platinum card... black card which is the Centurian Card is available in S'pore, HK, Aus... etc ... but not in Malaysia. p/s:edit due to typo It was rumored that there's 5 black card in M'sia. Rumored that our Tun had one, and also Robert Kuok. Like I said, it's an urban legend. No one knows who owns one as it's by invitation only; so we wouldn't know whether or not any M'sian had it or not.

Phone interview for the position I mentioned in previous page. QUOTE(b00n @ Nov 5 2007, 10:34 PM) as far as I know, American Express is a form of charge card. they have pulled out of Malaysia and sold their product franchise to Maybank and Hong Leong. what is left in M'sia is their global fraud, autho & collection team. but they're setting a new wing of global risk here to take care of this operations. Being so long looking at Credit Card risk, now wonder whether or not can tackle Charge Card instead as different type of ball game.

I called AMEX today and was informed i got no Turbo  since it is not auto renewable. So i asked what was the RM25 i paid earlier this year and the girl said was for reward membership! Anyway the Turbo program have been terminated and next year onwards no need to pay RM25 also. Looking back at my statement, only for 2X reward points for last month. AMEX reward points redemption catalogue still under construction in thier website. This post has been edited by Gen-X: Nov 9 2007, 11:45 AM

Yes, The reward points redemption area always under construction.. meanwhile, if you want to check the latest promotion or updates of AMEX, please go to this page http://www.maybank2u.com.my/consumer/onlin...promo.shtml#newTurbo Reward will be end by 31.March.2008.. if you have big purchases within these few months, it still worth to pay RM50.00 for this program as we can can 3x points during these period. Gen-X, may i know what is the emboss name color on your AMEX card? is it black or silver color? This post has been edited by Dozz: Nov 9 2007, 11:59 AM

Edited: thanks for the link http://www.maybank2u.com.my/consumer/onlin...promo.shtml#newFor comparison: Redeem RM100 Voucher for Dome and TGIF AMEX 15,500 and 17500 whereas HSBC 16000 and 17000 respectively. So i must say AMEX 2X rewards points is a very good deal as spend RM17K can get about voucher worth RM200 whereas other CC get half or even less.

@Gen-X; Since you had your AMEX card for many years already, dont you find that design on the card has slighly changed? Last time the emboss name was in black and the card gold color was darker.. now the card with silver emboss name and the whole card color has changed a bit... make the card look even better  Yap, 2x reward points really give you faster points compared to other CC.. hope AMEX keep this promotion on going...lol

Just went to Esso Station to pump petrol with my AMEX card, but they said my card is declined, i asked the cashier tried again...but it still declined  damn it!! i paid with my VISA card instead. I rang up AMEX CS righg after am reached to office, they check my account.. everything is good and they didnt see any declined message in their system. so who fault is it? Petrol station or AMEX? how you guys handle such situation when your card got declied in the cashier but you know your account is clear and fine? @Gen-X: Among all your CC, which one is your favourite or the one you used the most?
