When i try to redeem Enrich Mile, it only covers the fare but for tax, we will have to pay using own cash... currently contemplating whether is it worth to change TP for EM..

Last week I went to Kota Kinabalu and took business class flight using enrich miles redemption..
Had to pay RM127 Surcharges & Taxes + 19,150 enrich miles The fare at the time was RM1,091.00 + RM9 taxes = RM1,100.00 So, 19,150 EM equal to (1,100-127) = RM973 = 86,175 TPs (MBB2 card premier) therefore 86,175 TPs = RM973 for MBB2 card premier or U have to spend RM17,235 (using MBB2 AMEX reserve) in order to get 86,175 TPs - in term of "cash rebate" --> 973/17,235 = 5.6% Go figure , whether worth converting to EM or not......

Thanks for the info.I did try to check Kuala lumpur to Penang business class fares. Total is about RM572 on 17/5/2014. When using enrich miles to redeem, i have to pay 14,900 Enrich Miles + MYR 97.00. 14900/(572-97), This means RM1 = 31.3 Enrich point For yours, 19150/973, this equals to RM1 = 19.68 Enrich point. Your redemption much more worth it. How come the Enrich point redemption is not standardize one? |

Further checking to compare the fare price between normal fare and enrich mile redemption fare:
Same flight on 17/5/2014 Miles used for this booking : 1,000 Your miles balance : 3,182 Balance you need to pay Flight Price : MYR 162.00Tax + Fees : MYR 58.00 Total : MYR 220.00 Total amount to be paid : 1,000 Enrich Miles + MYR 220.00 But when I checked on the normal fare without Enrich redemption, it is only RM145. It is even cheaper than booking with Enrich Miles. Is Malaysia Airlines trying to cheat here? |

ya the system suck for short haul flight, not sure if we can complaint MAS because you basically pay more cash using ENRICH but again this is a 'privilege' by MAS so....
Basically i conclude that anything below 8 hours flight time is not worth it. |

Based on my calculation before for long haul flights, Enrich miles value around RM0.03 for Economy, and RM0.16 for Business class redemption.Basically i conclude that anything below 8 hours flight time is not worth it. |

You can redeem enrich miles for Oneworld flights but there's no 50% off and the award charts are on the high side.anyone got the answer? http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/enri...s/oneworld.html Other Oneworld partner miles are more valuable. As an example, I just redeemed 125k Avios miles on Cathay Pacific and got a one way KL to New York in Biz/First Class. You need 204k Enrich miles to do that... Enrich miles are seriously low value on Oneworld. If you're actually flying, it's probably best to park your miles under AAdvantage. |

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? |
