QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Apr 16 2009, 09:50 AM) @David83, Now that's weird because a couple of weeks ago I'd wanted to redeem some of my points and looked at the TP catalogue (I thought I was getting TP points) but the CS told me I should be looking at the MR catalogue because Amex reward points and MBB TPs are separate and different. I'm aware of the differences. That's why I asked for confirmation and even called MBB CS for this. |

I gave another call to MBB CS. They said that it's 8x on TP.

It's indeed so confusing. Anybody could give a call to MBB CS and also AMEX CS for clarification.

Petrol station: BHP Petrol, Caltex, Esso, Mobil, Petronas & Shell
Are you sure Petronas accept AMEX on the self-service kiosk? Somebody has been complaining about this.

QUOTE(StupidZ @ Apr 18 2009, 02:57 PM) These information is captured from Maybank2u.com website, I'm not sure whether is accepted or not at Petronas. One of the point mentioned that Village Grocer and many more, the and many more. make me wonder is it still included any other merchant which they didn't mentioned? LinkI'm asking this confirmation because I'm in the dilemma to choose between AMEX or MBB Petronas Visa at Petronas.  |

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Apr 24 2009, 10:39 PM) David 83, Someone said you have to swipe your AMEX at the Petronas station counter so your card will be approved. The Petronas petrol kiosk doesn't accept AMEX, it has to be done inside. How to do if I were to pump full tank? Thanks for the sharing. |

The DDI form that I submitted for my Visa is from Great Eastern. There's no option for AMEX.

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Apr 27 2009, 09:23 AM) I don't know what is shell or caltex rebate program. FYI, I use Esso/Mobil where you will get RM15 petrol for every 1000 smiles points (RM1=1 smiles point) which is equivalent to 1.5% rebate. Therefore with the current 8X MR and Amex cash back program where you get RM1 for every 200 points, the total cash back is 5.5% Here's the calculation: Fill petrol RM1000 = 8000 MR points = cash rebate RM40 Smile Point 1000 = RM15 petrol Total Rebate = RM55 for RM1000 petrol or 5.5% rebate. If you have turbo like me, the cash back percentage increases. Shell still got reward programme with Bonuslink. Not sure with Caltex. |
