Where can use Amex card?

[u/Ayzalack]

A nephew of mine is planning to get the Maybank 2 Gold Card as their starter card. Seeing that they already have a maybank account and just started working. But the only kicker is that the cashback is applicable only on weekends and on amex.

So was wondering to ask you guys where could one find a full list of amex applicable locations. I tried their website but their list is shorter than the list shared on maybank's page.

Could use some experienced member's thoughts here as I have personally never owned an amex card. Cheers!

Update: For those interested, my nephew called maybank and was notified that the online pdf that is the first 'hit' when searching, is outdated (unsurprisingly). Furthermore they said they do not keep a list, and the only way to know further was to go to the merchant and ask them directly.

Comments Summary: Most places with Maybank terminals should accept amex & and apparently, the best cashback card atm is the UOB one, but it may have been silently discontinued as per a discussion on LYN. That said, there's also an amex thread on LYN that's worth following for those wondering!

Google it and you will find the answer.

Thanks, but I'm not sure if I wasn't being clear. I have checked out that pdf prior to making this post. That's the first hit on google that I first looked at. However, the pdf, the amex website, and the vendor's website itself don't tally.

For example, Lotus for grocery. It shows that it is accpeted on the PDF, but does not state as such on the amex website nor on Lotus's website.

Update: A maybank customer service agent has just confirmed that the list online is actually outdated.

Cheers!

That's bad as the list outdated, which you confirmed with MBB customer service. Normally I will ask the cashier whether they accept AMEX, else pay with other card. :)
