@Reventon,
Yes I believe the Amex Platinum Credit Card has the same T&C with Visa & MasterCard when it comes to late payment and interest free period. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I think Amex gives U more time to settle ur bill; I received my statement about 2 weeks ago and I have till 23rd before I need to make the payment.

As this is my 1st bill, I'm unable to track if this is a norm.

I haven't used the Prestige Platinum Card but am quite sure it's as good as it seems to be. I've oredi received my Prestige Platinum Card - it also comes with some exclusive 'discount' vouchers. I don't think there'll be any problems using the dining privileges and it's definitely well worth the $ if u frequent Shangri-La's F&B outlets!

I don't exactly know if my annual fee's been waived as I originally applied for the Amex Gold (with 2 years waiver) since CS told me I didn't qualify for the Platinum - but that's what came in the mail I would expect annual fees to be billed in my 1st bill but I didn't get charged anything *shrugs* Am still keeping fingers and toes crossed I won't be charged any annual fees; I've used the RM800 to purchase something else *grins*

@muscaa,
Like I said, the SCB Infinite is NOT meant for those who're after retail promotions; it's got a different target all together. As such, it has other benefits; Priority Pass is probably one of them for those who travel frequently. Perhaps U don't understand the behaviour of those in their target market hence think it's stupid?

@TeraPox,
Which 3?!

actually, for AMEX, as long as u pay right b4 the next statement being issued... then no late charges will be occurred...

Currently I'm charging everything into my Amex CCP... I want the Longines watch.. checked already.. it worth 2300 leh...



@Tinky

MBB, Citibank & RHB(this one maybe on its way)

Mine HSBC application still under progress ...

Everyday call their hotline and check, they have no idea approve or not lol

Didn't receive any calls to my office too

@Terapox
Do you have the VISA Infinite ?

@Reventon
I do think that SCB knows who they have in mind (target market) for this particular card. However, the info provided on this card (as stated in SCB's website) is pretty basic. I have a feeling it's going to be hard as well for SCB to attract the right crowd to this product on the notion that people would be comfortable using their existing bank's cc and just by offering a better credit limit / airport lounge would doubly lure them here. They would be traveling business anyway thus have preexisting access to lounges + have a good credit limit on their cards already.

It's all about the level of customer service that the card attracts. I agree it would be the equivalent level that the Platinum command in the 90's and unlike now where a lot of people owns a Platinum card. Thus the exclusivity of the Platinum has diluted itself.

.... Hope Terapox has this card to tell its story.

there r only 2 banks in malaysia issuing visa infinite,

1) RHB... wanted to apply,but they said only applicable for their infinite customers only ( like HSBC premier, Maybank Premier la)

2) SCB... personally,I had some issues with them few years back and since then, I decided that I will NOT take any services from them ever again..

so, nope, I don't have visa infinite ... yet... but other banks offer it in the future, i will definitely apply 4 it..

@TeraPox,
You mean the Longines watch is RM2.3k?!!!! So.. how far are U from the RM20k target?!

I haven't been able to make use of me Amex too much; I swiped ~RM6k on my Visa this month and not Amex just cause it wasn't available

@hye,
You're so absolutely right about the dilution of Platinum cards these days; I no longer feel special... then again, perhaps I don't deserve it ! *gulp*

yaya.. the longine worth RM2.3k... i've check with dealer already...

I don't have much to catch up looo... around another 10k ++ only...


yalor, platinum is not really that special nowadays.. sometime, i do feel like they don't deserve me... but wth... wait for visa signature to enter malaysia lor.. and also, platinum bring alot of good deals.. like for example the buy 1 free 1 @ oriental group by UOB... really save me quite alot during these couple of months...
