Bro fly to KL first for few days and then to LA

When I get on the plane sometime mid May 2014 to CDG, I will yell out pspfan, pspfan.... hahaha

To ALL:

Enrich sale ending this Sunday... 8th December, 2 more days to go.

Part of below posted at MBB2 Thread, but thought I repeat here.

We all know that our nowadays our Treats Points has validity period of 3 years. One way to stretch it to 6 years is convert it to Enrich Miles (validity period 3 years too).

Previously in my article My Son Is Going to The USA Again on Business Class, I have shown that we get equivalent cash back up to 19.19% and 12.33% when we redeem Malaysia Airline Business Class ticket using the Enrich Miles converted from the Treats Points earned with the Maybank Visa Infinite and Maybankard 2 Cards respectively.

MAS is currently have a promo and so is Enrich Miles offering 50% discount until 8th December 2013. With the Enrich Miles 50% discount, the equivalent "cash back" we earn from using the Maybank Visa Infinite and Maybankard 2 Cards AMEX increases to 30.88% and 19% respectively. To learn more about how to maximize utilizing your credit cards Rewards Points, click on the link below:

Enrich Miles Sale Is Fantastic With Maybank Visa Infinite.

Actually, as most of you guys know, few months back there were 2 promotions for Enrich Miles. One was offered by Maybank where we get 10% Extra Enrich Miles at 1U and the other was offered directly by Enrich Miles. So in other words, I can say for the Enrich Miles converted from my MBB VI TP, I got more than 30.88% equivalent cash back for my trip to Europe. Or looking from another angle, I earned FREE RM30K for the 2 pax return trip to Europe on Business Class. I love my 5X Reward credit cards. Using credit cards beats the heck out compared to cash.

I used to redeem cash vouchers only; but since last year I started to use my Treats Points for Enrich Miles redemption only. Same goes for the UNIRinggit earned with my UOB VI - because I want to shiok sendiri owning the Privilege Banking UOB VI, I had to charge RM50K overseas with the stupid card (to get the RM1.8K annual fee auto waived - one still can go beg for waiver if spend less than RM50K) and get less Enrich Miles and pay higher conversion rate compared to the MBB VI.

And I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to hye as it was his previous postings on Enrich Miles that got me researching Enrich Miles for my articles and discovered the wonderful benefit of FREE air tickets with credit cards' reward points.

Yes they did... on the spot as a matter in fact (received sms for both MYR and GBP transactions). As for my return from London, when I printed the itinerary, there was an ERROR message! Got me worried, so called Enrich immediately and they said my booking is confirm

Bro, I charged the trip to CDG with my MBB 2 AMEX and return via LHR with MBB VI. I recheck my statements and both have been posted and it's due soon.

Remember my facebook account - www.facebook.com/GenXGenYGenZ and check it every week

Bro, the image got nothing to do with what you mentioned. But glad to know you earned 30K FREE Enrich Miles

I have few thousand Qantas miles earned from using my Woolworth's Rewards card but not enough to redeem for a domestic flight, haha.

Anyway, I just posted at my blog - Maybank 2 Cards Premier - Comprehensive Review of The No.1 Best Credit Card in Malaysia and Possibly The World too.

The new AMEX RESERVE is the best credit card for local spending to earn Enrich Miles.

In my article, I also mentioned that we are unable to redeem Malaysia Airlines ticket to LA anymore But we can do so with other airlines under the One World umbrella by simply calling Enrich Miles.

If you had read my article mentioned above where I gave an example (and even in the post/reply above, read "carefully"), you would have gotten the answer to your question.

Below is part of what I just posted in my Facebook Page:

I have like 30,000 Reward Points with my HSBC VS. HSBC claim they have the best Enrich Miles Redemption at 3000 Reward Points = 1000 Enrich Miles. Therefore, based on these figures, I should be able to redeem for 10,000 Enrich Miles.

I asked the CS rep to redeem all the points to Enrich Miles, I was told that I could only redeem for 1000 Enrich Miles (and got to do it online)!!!

I am really pissed off with HSBC and I am seriosuly considering to cancel my HSBC VS soon.

On another note: will there be an Enrich Mid Year Sale this year?

Today, I published my article I Earned 15000 FREE Enrich Miles for Purchasing American Airlines Tickets Which Also Earn Enrich Miles where I bought American Airlines tickets using my Maybank 2 Cards Premier AMEX Reserve.

In the Foreign Exchange Thread I posted below:

Transaction Date: 30 April 2014
Posting Date: 5 May 2014 (Monday)
USD4,320.64
RM14,342.60
USD/MYR Conversion Rate = 3.3195545
USD/MYR Spot Rate on 2nd May 2014 (based on Friday's Closing Rate) = 3.2661 (BNM website states 3.2690).

The conversion works out to be less than 2% which is pretty good compared to my other Visa Infinite cards.

American Airlines and Malaysia Airlines are both part of the One World Alliance, and therefore we can earn Enrich Miles with AA too.

Initially when I entered the Enrich Miles Account in AA website, it was accepted but somehow they requested for it again after I made payment and is was then I kept getting an error message. Therefore finally had to call American Airlines Malaysia Contact Number to have the Enrich Miles keyed into the system manually by AA staff.

Thanks for the info. Too bad the 30% discount this time is only for Asia

Another thing is travel period must be on or before 31 July 2014

Bro, Enrich to Enrich or your relative credit card Reward Points to your Enrich Account?

If Enrich to Enrich, any fees?

If CC Reward Points to your Enrich Account, which bank? Maybank previously allowed us to do so but nowadays no.

Please let me know the result and if you were imposed any fee(s).

My bother in-law did upgrade his wife ticket to Business Class using his Enrich Miles but I did not asked if he had to pay transfer fee or how he did it.

The pen it's FREE, better than burning away your points right. If you don't use the pen, give it away as a birthday gift, hahahaha

As for the luggage scale, you could get one for about less than RM100 at our malls.

Bro, there was never a 4.5TP = 1 Mile Promo for TP. But there have been promos where we can get 10% extra Enrich Miles (Maybank promo) and previously Enrich promo for most credit cards.

You may have mistaken the 4.5TP=1 Enrich Mile based on my previous post below:

From above, you see, that time when MBB was having Enrich Promo, MBB's system was so stupid that they allowed my MBB 2 Platinum Treats Points to be added to my Visa Infinite account;and as such, I could redeem all my TP with conversion rate 4500TP = 1000 Enrich PLUS 10% extra Enrich Miles!


Yes, Maybank now only allow us to credit Enrich Miles into our own account. But we still can redeem tickets for others.

To ALL:

Click here to my latest article A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That Vo.1, Chapter V. In this said articles, the matters I touched relating to Enrich Miles are as follows:

1. You can upgrade your Economy Class ticket with Malaysia Airlines to Business Class. This article will show you how many Enrich Miles I used to Upgrade my son's and sister's tickets to/from Paris and the additional amount I paid.

2. What type of ticket to purchase if you want to upgrade to Business Class and what you should do before booking your ticket.

3. How many Enrich Miles I used to redeem for Business Class tickets for my parents to Paris and from London plus the total amount I paid for surcharges and taxes.

4. You get 15% discount if you redeem using Enrich Miles for flights online with Malaysia Airlines versus over the phone redemption.

Last time I know Tinkerbel got the useless SCB VI that requires ridiculous reward points to redeem for Enrich Miles. So finally she got a Maybank credit card? Go call/sms her and say I making fun of her SCB VI so that she will come and visit us here once a while

Bro, don't go to 1U because there is no Enrich promo now. That promo I quoted was in September 2013 last year and over the weekend only.

And lucky you that Tinkerbel actually have time for you

Bro, that was last year. 50% discount to Europe = 27500 Enrich Miles. If they offer 50% discount again this year, then you be able to redeem for a Business Class ticket to or from Europe

Currently, if you redeem online (offer suppose to be all year round), there is a 15% discount. Therefore, we now need 46750 Enrich Miles; but, there is another way to get Business Class ticket to/from Europe with less Enrich Miles.

Once again, click here to my latest article A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That Vol.1, Chapter V where I shared the followings:

1. You can upgrade your Economy Class ticket with Malaysia Airlines to Business Class. You only need 35K Enrich Miles, i.e. that's like 36% discount (off 55K).

2. This article will show you how many Enrich Miles I used to Upgrade my son's and sister's tickets to/from Paris and the additional amount I paid. And to my surprise, I paid nothing (zero, nil, zip) in extra to upgrade my daughter's ticket from Paris to KL??!!

2. What type of ticket to purchase if you want to upgrade to Business Class and what you should do before booking your ticket.

Bro, good question.

I can't give you a direct answer because I don't know as it depends where you fly to and fly out from AND also I guess you will pay less if you choose return trip.

If you read the article I gave the link above, you will note that it cost me about RM2.8K in surcharges and taxes to redeem flight KL to Paris and then London to KL using 93500 Enrich Miles VERSUS I paid RM2.9K for my daughter's return Economy ticket KL/Paris where I only had enough Enrich Miles remaining to upgrade her flights from Paris to KL. I did not need to pay an extra sen for my daughter's upgrade. However, from the article you will note I had to pay additional taxes for my son's and sister's upgrade.

And like I said, I was told it also depends on which airport you depart from and I shared this with all. And in the article I did say how much I was told it will cost to upgrade flight from London to KL.

So how to determine which is cheaper:

1. Go to MAS online and check price of ticket(s) - one way or return and then

2. Go login Enrich and perform flight redemption and see how much is the surcharges and taxes (once again one way or return).

My guess is that it will be cheaper to redeem for full BUT you will need more Enrich Miles. Upgrade option is good as my wife and I will need less Enrich Miles to fly Business Class (for the price of Economy ticket) and add a little bit more for surcharges and taxes is applicable. Only set back is limited seats for upgrade.

Enrich Miles up to 50% discount not for flights to London and Melbourne

But we can get 50% discount for return to Paris. Those who want to get luxury handbags, now it's a good time (before 15 Oct) to redeem a ticket to Paris, hahaha. Click here to read my article Paris, New York and London to see Boy Chanel and Lady Dior handbags prices. Took more than a month for my tax rebate to be credited into my credit card.

Bro, it is very easy to work it out.

1. Go check how much you must pay for taxes and surcharges if you redeem in full.
2. Then go compare to total cost for Economy ticket and add maybe USD100 max.

Now, as for upgrading, click here to my article A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That Vol.1, Chapter V, where I mentioned I paid between USD30 to 45 to upgrade my son's and sister's ticket from Paris. And I also mentioned that upgrading is not guaranteed and subjected to availability; so make sure you check before getting the Economy Class ticket.

And like tishaban mentioned below, make sure you check which type of Economy class ticket can upgrade. Few months back, I bought MAS return tickets KL/MEL for next year because it was freaking cheap at RM1.3K+, but since it was a promo ticket, I cannot upgrade using Enrich Miles.

Bro, one of these day I must invite you for lunch and hopefully you can teach me about other airlines' airmiles.

In the meantime, I am more than happy with Enrich because to me it's like FREE, compliments of Maybank.

If the forever busy tinkerbel can join for us lunch is like kena lottery, hahaha

Noted, I no longer have any US credit card. And the only Frequent Flyer Card I have is with UA. However, I must add, this year when my son wanted to fly back to KL from New York, AA one way ticket to Paris was USD2K whereas with MAS JFK to KL less than USD1K! Wrote above this in the article I gave link in earlier post.

Yah Melbourne only 30% and Brisbane 40%

Too bad I have bought my tickets until mid this year. But then again, even if I had not bought my tickets to Melbourne, I would still not redeem with the 30% discount as I am saving my Enrich Miles for Europe next year Question is - next year still got Enrich Miles Program? hahahaha
