i owned the amex gold charge card. it claimed it has no credit limit. eager to try that out last time when purchasing new car for my sis a month ago. in the end i still resort to old banker's cheque payment. anyone ever swipe 5 or 6 figures amount with your amex charge card? interested to share?

For purchase involving extremely big amount, I guess you still need to inform Amex CS 1st although it is a charge card. If you regularly spend that kinda amount, you then needn't inform Amex prior to the purchase as Amex has already known your spending pattern. Anyway, I have never swiped a card for a 6-figure amount in a single receipt. biggrin.gif

that's the only advantage of this card compared to current newly launched amex gold cc - no credit limit! Think someday i'll try that, clear up my house loan...wahaha

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use credit or charge card to pay monthly installment of your home loan.

You can only pay booking fee via cc if you purchase a new property through developer (if the developer accepts payment of booking fee via cc). Some developers even allow you to pay the down payment (normally 10% of the purchase price) by cc.

In the States people use AMEX charge card to pay for private jet plane bill as well as to pay for Bentley, Lexus etc. You might want to give it a try  biggrin.gif
