have to pay RM800 for AMEX platinum... and the rest r free....

i pay in full(actually a little bit more than full) everymonth... and when they r about to charge me annual fee. i called them up, tell them that other banks can offer me FREE cards. if they can't i will cancel the card... (lame scripts)... and walah! it works! success rate 99%

@vin_ann,
Hence I didn't respond to TeraPox post when he asked me about the iPhone - tis is not the right place to discuss the iPhone

There's nothing much about the iPhone - it's just a gadget; TeraPox can tell U that [maybe he can even pass 1 to u since he's got 2! *grins*]

@TeraPox,
Just need to 'restore' the phone and it prolly gets unbricked

sorry about hi-jacking ur thread for apple ...

the UOA one earns carrefour rebates ma... every hundred earn 4 ringgit u know!!! so nice... 4 ringgit can buy 2 sneaker bars leh... hehehe
anyway...seldom use it... it sits in my locked drawer most of the time...

Robinson Platinum ah.. haven't met the OCBC agent yet... even i do met them one day, i oso want to see hows their attitude and wat free gift they r gonna give to me...hehehe....

btw OCBC cards are useful among Robinson Group only... (Robison, John Little, Mark & Spencer)

@ Tinkerbel

@ Terapox

at least i know u got "many" i-phones, when u bored wan to get rid off it, thinks of me, i can help u settle. haha...

btw, sneaker bar cost about Rm3++ already... haha... sigh, everything naik.

my purchase with Carrefour hardly breaks 100 each time. so it's also sit on my drawer already.

btw, my latest trial n error, Carrefour CC Pay Wave machine did not accept my Maybank Petronas Visa Wave.... the cashier tried 3 times also fail...

previously Direct access Pay Pass also fail to get 'wave' with Carrefour UOB Pay Wave machine.

we hav to admit it... our country's banking(&everything) infrastructure SUX

yeah, i got high expectation on it. but it's failed.

life still have to go on.

if apply Citibank card get free Ipod Nano

really? for what card?

I dunno but I heard la. But must be new to bank customers.

Issit when you got AMEX charge card, they will offer you a credit card FREE FOR LIFE?
My boss is being offered one FREE FOR LIFE.
I saw the offer letter he left on his table. I wonder what happened if he cancelled the charge card and keep the credit card.

Free for life? good for him.. maybe he charged a huge amount of money every month...
too bad, I'm not entitled to that kind of privilege..

Tinkerbel, u know anything about this?

From what I heard from the account clerk, not really. Lastime (many years ago) when VISA n MASTERCARD still not so popular yet, maybe use frequently as travels a lot to see suppliers. But now each month also pay around 4k nia and mostly for petrol (inclusive of supplimentary cards for the rest of directors). Nowadays VISA and MASTERCARD is the way to go.

Business card izzit? i have amex charge card but then they did not mention anything like free for life credit card lor.. but my friend are using charge plat card and monthly usage over 20k Amex also dun wan to waive the annual fee.

Amex platinum charge cards are supposed to be by invitation only plus they never waive their annual fee no matter what. It's a "status symbol" and Amex must maintain their standards I guess So if you see anyone with an Amex platinum charge card, you know they're paying on average RM200 per month just for annual fees alone!

There are advantages, particularly if you travel but not worth it for me...

yup... that's right...

to trigger the invitation, u need to be...

1) a AMEX gold card member
2) annual charge of 200K ringgit. (NOT INCOME ah)
3) willing to pay for the 2.5k ringgit annual fee..


next level, centurion(Not in Malaysia Yet)

to trigger the invitation, u need to be...

1) a AMEX Platinum Card Card member
2) annual charge of 350K USD (not income ah)
3) willing to pay for the 2.5k USD annual fee.

I'm definitely NOT willing.. I have v much more things I could do with US2.5k - for example, purchase that iPhone 3G everyone seems to want so much !! :P

@TeraPox,
I've not heard anything about Free For Life Amex cards. Then again, I've not reached that kinda status ! :(

me neither... just dunno how andrekua's boss got that letter...

Tink, I think most people at that financial level don't particularly care about the annual fee and have other people paying for their expenses anyway so they don't need to carry those cards in their pockets/wallets anyway. Unless they're really cheap like most of us here

I've also read on other forums where people on the receiving end ie. working in a hotel/spa/whatever say that they see so many Amex Platinum/Centurion cards in a working day that it's not that special anymore.

I think Amex has diluted their brand by giving out too many Platinum/Centurion cards
