To all new MBB Amex Gold CC owner, are most of you using MR points for cash rebates? Just curious how frequent do you call Amex 1800 line to convert MR points to rebates. Do you do so after received monthly statement?

TM Point doesn't accept AMEX. You need to look for the AMEX logo or you can just ask the cashier whether they accept AMEX or not. Anyway, below is the list of merchants that accept AMEX.

- Kinokuniya Bookstore
- MPH Bookstore
- Times Bookstore
- Carrefour
- Giant
- Tesco
- Cold Storage
- Guardian
- Watson
- Parkson
- Isetan
- Jaya Jusco
- Metrojaya
- Uda Ocean
- Shell Station
- Petronas (**need to pay at counter)
- ASTRO (**over the counter, by phone or auto-debit only)
- Speedy Video
- SONY STYLE
- DELL
- Chocolates shops in KLIA
- Certain cafe outles in KLIA
- KLIA Express
- KLIA Airport Limo
- Air Asia
- Well known hotels such as Mandarin Oriental, Hilton, Hyatt, Le Meridien, JW Marriott, Westin etc.
- All major hospitals
- All the high-end retail stores in KLCC, Pavillion, Mid Valley, The Gardens etc.
- Most major restaurants such as Pizza Hut, Sushi King, Amarin Heavenly Thai, C-Jade, Athena etc.
- Starbucks
& many more. Just that i couldn't remember all at once.

TM only accept AMEX for auto-debit.
A big mistaken, obviously. You should always carry a VISA and/or Mastercard with you all the time, along with your AMEX. But at least you have the SONY VISA  smile.gif

Great sharing there bro. I think thread owner should update this at front page so other user can easily find the list of merchants that accept Amex... notworthy.gif

To MBB Amex Gold CC owner, did you receive paper statement even you have specified you do not want it? Will bank charge us RM5 for this?
I recalled someone asked this before but don't think I see any proper reply to this.

Also I noticed points distribution in my statement is not correct. Following are my spendings:
- RM51.10 petrol
- RM29.35 tesco

But in statement state:
MR Points earned: 80
Amex Bonus points: 80
Petrol: 153
Tesco: 88

Total: 402

Quite confused with break down of the points. why not they make it:
petrol: 252
tesco: 150

Thanks.

Isn't the above correct?

You spent around RM80, so that's the regular MR points.
The Amex bonus relates to the 2x points for all transactions
Then to reach 5x on petrol/groceries, you get another 3x on petrol/groceries.

Thanks bro, this makes sense now... guess their way of breaking down the points might confuse first time user sweat.gif or maybe I'm too bad in math tongue.gif

Btw, do you receive paper statement from Amex even you have opted for e-statement?

Haha no worries, I think I just figured it out when you laid it out like that. Did look a lil weird when I just briefly glanced at the statement initally =p

Yea, I received the paper statement although I didn't opt for it (since they were saying they're gonna charge rm5). Till now no charges on it, but like you I'm worried they eventually do.

May I know how long you've been using MBB Amex CC? So far only receive statement once right?

QUOTE(ks98 @ Sep 29 2009, 08:08 AM)
I haven't received neither paper nor email statement yet... but, i was not opt for paper statement in my application so they should not charge me for that smile.gif

I believe you just got your Amex CC not more than 1 month right?

Started using it early 4th August. So far I've received 2 statements, for 6th August and 6th September
*
I see. so far they never deduct RM5 from your banking or CC account right?
I'm thinking should I check with CS regarding this matter, or just ignore this and receive paper statements for free...

Me too...I have Petronas CC and also Amex CC, they all combine together. That is why i am so confuse on the point system.

I see. No problem for me since I refer to points earned by each card instead of total TP for all cards.
For points belong to Amex Gold, I regard it as MR points. smile.gif
