Long live Diners

Longest card I ever had, works great in Japan and unmatchable when you flash it

Still waiting for their carte blanche version to hit these shores

Since you asked so nicely, the answer to your questions are as follows :-

MBB Amex ie. those which carries the MBB Logo are Credit Card while Amex personal cards are normally charge card with the exception of their recently launched Platinum Credit Card, go figures

Yes, turbo points are for the charge cards

Actually same requirement, just different positioning ie. marketing strategy as a matter of fact, the benefits for a Visa/Master are normally better than the regular Amex cards

Its Diners for me all the way

Yeap, u r correct

Amex Charge card. Better service & no need to worry about any credit limit etc

Just make sure you never ever use Amex on overseas transactions. Their rates are all time high plus an additional 2.5% commission on top of that.

Should use Diners, so far never got rejected before unless not accepted in the first place. Further, it has the longest credit period of up to 55 days

Concur, all benefits far below that of corresponding Visa/Master offerings. As a charge card, even their credit period also shorter than Diners. Guess its only MBB's 2X rewards & unfair advantage that's keeping Amex alive in M'sia

As to their so called prestigious Plat Card & above, its mostly marketing hype, especially now that MBB has taken them over, CS also went downhill all the way. So, you do not need it, if you are not a frequent traveller with high & unexpected expenditures which may at times surpass your CL

You need to write in or call in, if expired and not required to renew etc.

Actually all Gold card member & above are automatically enrolled FOC last 2 months due to some promotion or something. Further the 2X reward is now a permanent feature ie. 2X membership reward for life


Btw, you managed to waived off the interest charges? Cheers

I think they must have changed it to maintain standardisation with all maybank product. Do call them up to confirm as I was told, its now only double due to actual point already 2X and this is also reflected in the amex site http://www10.americanexpress.com/sif/cda/p...41,18034,00.asp as well

tinkerbell's is the Amex Plat CC, so got interest charges

To clarify, nope its only applicable to Amex Gold Charge cards and above. The Credit Cards are rewarded via Maybank Treatpoints. Sorry for the confusion. Good luck & enjoy yr austerity drive

Nope as its only applicable for the plat credit card but you are most welcome to try your luck.

Very hard to win as lots of in-league merchants charged their own card at 12.00.01 am on the 1st of the month and guess when you get to use your card? Petrol also cannot pump RM3K so fast, right? Maybe in a nightspot or so

Yeap, that's true but must be within the month ie. last month transaction posted this month does not count, thus I was so told by their CS. Or maybe my luck not good, tried the Std Chart contest 3 months already also never win anything as well though been spending like hell. Hopefully can get the travel bags set

Yeap, very serious, did in RM12K on my Amex & over RM15K on my SCB, so its truly kind of a let down when not winning anything But like they say, there's still hope and previously I did win lots of goodies from Amex

But for the Visa/Mst category very hard to top those insurance agents who swipe for their clients, which is why I still think the MBf get '5' was still the fairest, at least for all cardmembers
