Seems visa is still under 7399 MCC, checked with 2 different banks. Amex has changed to 6540 (Think someone posted that MC also changed to 6540). So probably only visa has not changed, and can only use Visa to still get pts/miles.

So now AMEX no more pts for topup? They used to be very generous for all kinds of transactions

Oh good if the MCC is still 7399. Are cardup/ipaymy/renthero payments valid spend to meet the quarterly cash rebate?

Bank Amex cards most probably not. But direct Amex cards don't have any exclusions the KF card T&Cs say:-

Earn 3.1 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spend on Grab Singapore transactions on the Grab mobile application, up to S$200 each calendar month. For transactions on Grab mobile application in excess of S$200 per month, the standard earn rate for KrisFlyer miles set out in the American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Credit Card benefits Terms and Conditions will apply.

Spend transactions on the mobile application are cumulative and combined for the purpose of calculating whether the S$200 threshold per calendar month has been met. Transactions made on the Grab mobile application include top-up charges for Grab Pay.

Not to speculate, but my guess the reason for the change in Mastercard MCC maybe
Because MCC code generally decided by card network to decide how much to charge business.
If you topup Grabpay with Mastercard that will be one Mastercard transaction.
Then when you use the GrabPay Mastercard in the app, it will be another Mastercard transaction.
Cannot be Mastercard take profit twice on topup and spending on the Prepaid card right?

0 for bank issued Amex, ie UOB PRVI Amex and Citibank Premiermiles Amex (to be discontinued soon).

Before grab promo, cardup was still good.

If I spent abt $1k for 2 months. And I have clocked the $1k for the 3rd month. Just before month ended, I have another say $200 to spend, where would u spend if u were me? Since most of the CC are only giving 0.3% if min not met and Grab via one account is giving 5%

Anyone can help here?

Wait for the 4th month to spend the $200 with UOB Card.
