MR is evergreen?

Yes, MR is evergreen.

Try now, for February, they increased it 20X monthly allocation. I doubt there are that many points out there to swallow up 20X.

Argh thanks for the correction. Yes MR is evergreen

That depends on your spending habits, if your returns from the MR are worth less than the annual fee then no, obviously. I spend enough to justify the MR to KrisFlyer redemption annually. I have amassed 428k KF in under 2 years, should be enough for 2x return business class to Europe or the States.

The Plaza Premium First, Priority Pass, the add Centurion Lounge and Delta lounges also round it up very nicely.

I play golf but find it hard to arrange with the concierge to redeem the free green fees. I have not used the concierge for travel either.

That’s very nice! I’m in Spain now and like any European countries, AmEx is widely accepted here. Sometimes I wish I had this card with me to swipe. Like today I spent more than RM 25k in LV. The points and miles and I could get if I had this card. Sigh.

Pls note AMEX exchange rate for FX transaction is generally higher than VISA/MASTER.

she can afford that, no problem.

on another side note, what is the average processing time for apply amex charge plat?

hi, not sure if anyone has tested/confirmed this, but does the KF Amex Platinum card's lounge access cover supplementary as part of its quota? the maybank VI allows supp to enter even though it is explicitly stated no quota extension to supplementary, so wondering if it's the same for this card.

Not higher than UOB

Not forgetting the hilton honor gold and marriot bonvoy gold status, I always got my room upgraded and complimentary breakfast (for hilton honor)

u mean the points or the exchange rate?

exchange rate + foreign charge

Yeah, I’m aware.

I also think it’s expensive compared to UOB. Gonna switch to other cards now while I’m in Europe.

I don't think we get Marriott Bonvoy gold from the Maybank card. I have obtained Hilton gold from it, however.

contact CS ask for it. Amex Plat now can match hilton gold, marriot bonvoy gold & radisson

Do you mean Amex can get upgraded Marriot Bonvoy?

nowadays Amex Platinum got referral bonus or not?

AFAIK, no

Yes, MB Gold
