Just to make it clear, the Amex Platinum Charge Card is still the most prestigious Amex card in Malaysia. Annual income requirement used to be RM 300,000 but has been reduced to RM 190,000. Not ony income evidence required, an applicant must also have strong financial standing as bank statements are required. Proving your salary credited into your account alone will not do. You must have consistent credit balance of six figures to ease the process. If you do not have income documents, you may try applying by submitting copies of FD probably in the region of RM 1 million.

On rare occasions, they do grant pre approved Amex Platinum Charge Card to Maybank Wealth Management clients with assets under management of RM 4 million and above with first year annual fee waiver. Subsequently even these big timers must pay their annual fees. Getting annual fee waiver for Amex Platinum Charge Card is almost next to impossible.

I may be wrong but through experience, American Express Platinum Charge Card's level of service is still much superior compared to Visa Infinite or World Mastercard in more ways than one especially their Customer Service and the willingness of the Concierge to go the extra mile to please its cardmember.

Just my 2cents.
