@ Tinkerbel

i want a free for life Amex card, is it possible? im just wish Maybank got extended to other Credit card...

@ All,

helps, i using my CC to purchase GSC movie ticket online on 31 Aug 2008. all the procedure is smooth until the last page confirmation it's show access is rejected.

so i tried with my:

UOB One Plat and it's fail.
Maybank Petronas - fail.
Direct Access - fail.

now, all my CC is being charged for the movie although im fail to get confirmation number for the seat.

i called all the above bank customer service ask for help and their conclusion is the same, get back to GSC.

any1 know the GSC contract number? im been searching high and low also cant find the number beside reservation number.

this will be uphill task taxing my brain.... Wish me Good Luck!!!

@vin_ann,
Yes it is possible to get a FFL Amex Card. MBB has this policy where they offer FFL CC on the 3rd CC issued by them. I don't think this is applicable for the Amex Platinum though.

Can't help U on the GSC thing - good luck!

vin ann , you can check the upper right of gsc main page there should have a history. I have this case before as the page load fail. But when i check with the bank it just hold only for less than half hour, after their system refresh, will auto reverse the payment. This is my case thought.
Amex gold charge card is free, but you need to call in for waiver.

@ Reventon

thanks. i checked my history, it's only show the latest reservation, but did not show on pass history.

so dissappointed with GSC. they every month is making a lots of money and yet bad things still happened. maybe i shd call my ex-colleague ask them help me find out on GSC since GSC is their client. Hopefully.

that depends what kind of lifestyle you want over there?

if you try their buffer fish, costs rm250/meal? <-- tried, soso only..

if you try their normal ramen stall, costs rm30/meal?

if you take their bento, costs range from rm15 - rm30

on average, standard meal is about 7500 - 10000 yen.

they have horse meat sashimi as well. didnt try though....

u can try CIMB JCB

Never tried a JCB card before... but JCB is definately the most popular CC in Japan...


btw...anyone know wat is JCB stands for??? Japanese Card Bank? i think...

what is the best deal of CC in town now comparing only famous foreign bank....including citibank, hsbc, uob, ocbc, standard charted or etc etc...
want to apply 1 cause will be going oversea soon...

wat do u mean by "best deal"?
all banks hav to pay after u spent...

well.. depends on ur need...
HSBC is very useful in northern regions... like HK..TW..u can get some discounts on certain things...

UOB is useful in sountern region..like singapore...

Citibank is useful is western regions + some northern regions ..

ya ya...best deal in term of discount they give....
and those with free for life deal...hehe

Anyone know what is the best petrol rebate credit card in the town ?

JCB = Japan Credit Bureau

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Credit_Bureau

just charged my MBB Amex credit card @ carrefour for RM118.. so based on the promotion, im expecting RM5.90 cash rebate back in my next statement.

dang, would have RM11.80 back if on tuesday. also another important note: no TP if got cash rebate.

I will recommend Direct Access/CIMB MasterCard which offers 2% rebate on all petrol staion in Malaysia (until 31 Dec 2008).
Rebate credited at the end of billing date.

thanks ronnie... learned something...

jcb are widely accepted at japan but not much merchant in malaysia accept jcb card. Usually i will standby USD in case cash not enough when oversea. Visa and Master are sufficient enough to cover your usage la.

Yes.. Visa & Master is good enough for U to use overseas. The thing about using cards overseas is the CL; esp if U are using it to pay for accommodation and all; esp in the Western countries where conversions are sky high!

So split it across different credit cards lah They're more than happy to do it. One alternative is to bring lots of cash, not a good idea when you're paying say 5k Euros for hotel fees.

And the final alternative is to use that American Express charge card, no pre-set credit limit eh

Hmm any advice on the installment for not signing any document ?

Btw, Is it really safe to expose credit card numbers ?

Such as to cc agent, customer service and etc etc ... what happend if they abuse it

Not so understand how UOB VOX card's cash rebate works,... anyone can give further explanation?
Thank 1st
