My friend told me that a few of Petrol Stations refused to accept the payment through credit card. This also highlighted in The Star online here.
The decision was made following a meeting in Butterworth at 3.30pm yesterday to discuss a circular by the Petroleum Dealers Association of Malaysia, which had sent out a notice to 3,200 members nationwide advising them to refuse all cards. According to The Star, about 400 nos of Petrol Kiosk in North Peninsular Malaysia decided to enforce the move and started refusing the payment from midnight.
Out of curiosity this morning, I’ve made a call to PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad Mesralink and they had confirmed that they (PETRONAS Petrol Station) will not imposed such decision made by Petroleum Dealers Association of Malaysia. Petronas Dagangan Berhad also higlighted that should anyone found out the dealer who refused to accept the credit card, they can make a complaint to PDB Mesralink.
Below is the Mesralink contact… ( do you know that if you notice PETRONAS tanker driver not behave accordingly on the road or Toilet at PETRONAS Gas Station smelly like hell, you’re still can make a report to MESRALINK)

My father pumped his car last time in BHP. And we saw no sign of refusing credit card payment. But I’m not sure whether today it’s still the same. Gosh, my car is empty rite now… how could I pump without using credit card… I need a full tank…
