I went Malaysia last month and spent on Amaze card there. How come my Insta points are still 0 now?

My card fails at muji, old chan kee, tori q. When I tap, it'll say declined. I notice that they are all using same type of card terminal
I got declined at coffee bean today and tried tapping again with the other side of the card, it went through. So try the other side if got declined

I noticed that since 1st October I am immediately getting credited InstaPoints for each overseas transation. Has there been a change in T&Cs? I thought they were only credited at the end of the quarter but it seems that now they are credited immediately.

This is so random. Now I'm wary of bringing this card overseas :s13:

Tried this Amaze card at a relatively new Petronas near AEON Bukit Indah, both the wave and chip doesn't seems to be able to activate the pump. Anyone able to activate the pump successfully for any other brand?

wow, thanks for the headsup. I just checked and you are right.
Have >2k Instapoints since 1 Oct. Nice !

exchange rates is not as attractive as YT though, but as long as we doubledip with respective cards, I guess can accept that slight difference.

YT is like almost spot rate - it should be the one named AMAZING instead LOL

Possibility of the added credit card can't do the pre-authorisation of 200RM? I'll try with another card for my next trip. Currently via Maybank.

Used at petronas, went straight to counter to clock 200rm deposit, went to pump around 140rm and walked back to counter asking for refund but cashier claim it’s automated. Asked for receipt and left.
Wondering if another car or bike can continue pumping with my pump credit. Left petronas with a weird and insecure feeling.
