I had asked one of the staff in Maybank which in charge for AMEX, he told me that nowadays AMEX not supported at Petronas.

----------------------------------------

By the way, I had several questions need some help to clarify:

1. We need to subscribe(RM25/RM50) then only entitle to earn the membership reward point, right?

2. For every RM1 we spent on AMEX, it will earn us the membership reward point, is it including petrol staton?

3. Is the x2 / x3 / x5 / x10 reward point promotion still applicable now?

4. Currently Maybank offer 3 year annual fee waived, but I was wondering is there anyone successfully ask them to waived their annual fee payment before?

5. What is the major difference between Gold and Personal (Green) card? In term of benefit , etc.

As far as i know, for AMEX, there is not credit limit for the card, because it is a charge card.

Wikipedia
QUOTE
A charge card is a means of obtaining a very short term (usually around 1 month) loan for a purchase. It is similar to a credit card, except that the contract with the card issuer requires that the cardholder must each month pay charges made to it in full—there is no "minimum payment" other than the full balance. Since there is no loan, there is no official interest. A partial payment (or no payment) results in a severe late fee (as much as 5% of the balance) and the possible restriction of future transactions and risk of potential cancellation of the card.

No pre-set spending limit. Spend as much as you have shown you can afford, by just paying your account in full and on time each month. Charges will be approved based on your resources, spending and payment patterns.

Just curious, for the x8, does it only applicable to the listed grocery store + petrol station?

If I spent at other place like restaurant, online purchasing, will it applied for x8?

Are you sure Petronas accept AMEX on the self-service kiosk? Somebody has been complaining about this.

These information is captured from Maybank2u.com website, I'm not sure whether is accepted or not at Petronas.

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Apr 18 2009, 12:28 AM)
Well, it is stated clearly that the 8X promo is available only for petrol and and grocery. And restaurant is in neither categories. No 8X for online purchasing either as i believe there is still no online site selling groceries in Malaysia right ?

By the way, the new AMEX gold credit card is even better then the Petronas card, which it can save more point at other petrol station, not only limited to petronas station. Both also provided lifetime annual fee waiver. rclxms.gif

Ok back to AMEX topic but on CC.

I applied for the AMEX Gold CC today. Went to Maybank branch to drop my cheque for my charged card and picked up the application form for Gold CC but did not fill the form on the spot since wanted to get my wife a supp.

Then read in CC thread that one needs to have Maybank account, this was not stated in the application form nor was it in the AMEX's website but was stated in Maybank's website.

So I called this number 603-22958877 and they confirmed don't have to be a maybank account holder and I can just fax the application form to them with just a photocopy of my credit cards and no need submit the other troublesome documents. Faxed in the application to AMEX about lunch time. Wonder how long it takes to get it approved and want to see if the credit limit given to me will me higher or lower than my Charged Card (oh yes, there is a credit limit for charged card too).

How do we check the "credit limit" for charge card ?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

For AMEX Charge card issued by MBB, we only can view the statement through AMEX website?

While for AMEX Credit card issued by MBB, we can view it through MBU & AMEX website?

Are my statement correct?

Anyway, just to update you guys, I notice my 8X rewards points not credited into my account yet, so called CS and he informed me the 8X points will be credited on 25th Sep. Some of you have posted that you have got the 8X (actually 5-6X after subtracting 2X or Turbo 3X).
*
Until today, my account still haven't updated the reward point.

I calling CS three time in past few weeks, and give up on it, different CS give different reason, 1st CS said going updated on 15 Sept, 2nd CS said system will update after 15 Sept which is 16 Sept and the last CS said it will be updated on next billing statement. Now you got the information is 25 Sept? Don;t know who can trust now rclxub.gif

Hey for those of you who were mentioning you didn't get the balance of the 8x points yet, and Amex said they will be doing it end Sep, did you guys get the points yet? My statement is here, with no additional points. Kinda doubt I'll be getting the bonus points now -.-

I just called, now they come out with new "excuse", the 8x points will reflected at our October bill statement !!! blink.gif

And the CS dare to say none of the card holder got their 8x points. rclxub.gif
