For me, i m a frequent traveller... so i prefer to earn fast points.. Amex is offering RM2.80 per frequent flyer's mile where other credit cards you need to spend RM5.80 in order to get 1 mile. thats a lot different... but yeah, Amex card is more for business man cos we have to make the full payment each month.

QUOTE(terryykf @ Nov 5 2007, 08:37 PM) Amex really gives lots of points....got for those who always go travelling... now Maybank got promotion for American Express Charge Card- Annual Fee Free for 1 Year! You will entitle to participate in 'Scratch & Win' contest once your card is approved,and get freebies like i-pod,Universal CD,optical mouse...etc.... you are right...currently AMEX gives you RM1 = 3 MR points (if you take the turbo point program) which is RM1.80 per frequent mile... Thats really the best offer in the town now!! this promotion end late of jan.2008... i want to find a ways to earn more points during these periods. hahah..

Do you guys know that actually AMEX doesnt have its own credit card in Malaysia? Those AMEX cards with issued by maybank & hong keong are actually co-branded credit cards, its not 100% percent from AMEX. Try to browse other countries AMEX's web sites like singapore, HK, Australia.. they all have their own AMEX issue credit cards avaiable.

Seperate charge are usually happen in travel agency when you want to pay by your cards... if believe there is no extra charge if buy direct from the airlines company right?

@Gen-X: Yes, if those merchants doesnt accept AMEX, we still have VISA or Mastercard for backup. lol  2x Reward Points are great! its equal to RM2.80 per mile.. where other credit cards you need to spend between RM5.40 to RM6.00 in order to get one mile. Gen-X, did you enrolled in the Turbo Points Program?

Gen-X; If you enrolled in the Turbo Point Program, you will earn 1 MR point extra, thats mean RM1.00 spend = 3x reward point  that is sweet isnt it? lol..this promotion will end in 31 January 2008. Yeah, i just saw the Ads from The Star too, not familiar with Flexi Pay Plan... but its pretty good deal if you intend to purchase something more than RM1000 in single receipt... the sweetest part is 2x reward points. lol

QUOTE(glitters @ Nov 7 2007, 04:46 PM) Yes...AMEX used to be independent...been a user for AMEX since Year 2002...and still is... :-) U can actually use Amex in Tesco and Guardian and many more merchants out there...AMEX is really useful when you're in overseas...used them in hotels too...no problem for them to accept AMEX.. you are AMEX member since 2002, do you find any different after Maybank manage it? Recently i purchased something from US web site, surprisingly the conversion rate are cheaper than what am expected. highly recommended to use AMEX card This post has been edited by Dozz: Nov 7 2007, 05:01 PM
