Haha yah
We are just bunch of people with credit card points looking ways to utilize them. Using it to redeem flights naturally is most satisfactory. Rather than using it to exchange vouchers and groceries is probably Saving but.... Ha ha ha

I am talking abt redemption cost.....

It is the same. Redeem SQ Kul - LHR is cheaper than MH Kul - LHR for business class

The difference is, the cash additional cost is higher in am, compared with enrich....so it depends.....

If you have lots of miles, use enrich.....

If short of miles, use am, but pay more cash.....

Yes, i second that. AM fuel surcharge is really high as compared to SQ and MH.

from the Enrich website redemption table, around 69k EM required to redeem a Tokyo return economy. yes, i know the best use of miles is to upgrade to business ticket of London, but i and my family like Japan/Korea more than western coutries, at least at the moment.

i am not sure KF or AM, may i know how much miles required to redeem a Tokyo return economy?

you can check on SIA and AM website easily...

AM for MAS/JAL to Tokyo need 50k for economy return. but you can separate the booking to kul-hkg & hkg-nrt, its only need 40k AM.

Havent done it before
If using am to redeem British airways or mas flights
The surcharge is also higher?

The points are still in my creditcards. What u suggest to do to check the poibts required by enrich or am say redeeming british airline flight premium economy costing by enrich or am + surcharge involved

For maybank,
7000 treatpoints for 1000am
10000 treatpoints for 1000 enrich

Uob am miles redemption is 6000 for 1000
Enrich is 7000 uob points for 1000 miles

Thats a big saving right there already

The points required is the same for both am and enrich....but it varies for both depending on your Maybank card type....

You are right, strangely it's all 7000 points except for enrich which is 10k....

Like that I would redeem into kf....

Hi all sifu,

Recently just got into the airline miles game.
Read thru the first few page and still couldnt decide which card is better for me.

Currently I'm holding CIMB Enrich Platinum cc, but rm4 for 1 enrich mile seems like it will take forever to gather the required point for flight redemption.

My salary p.a. is less than 80k tho, any sifu can recommend some other CC and also other extra tips to collect points?

I will be travelling one or twice each year tho.

Maybank 2 card is your best bet

Maybank 2 Gold / Platinum.
Focus on spending with Amex as much as possible.
May get Ambank WMC once you are eligible, for overseas spend.
You may also look into HSBC VS, especially for those x8 / x5 category, I think still slightly useful (the redemption rate was much better before revised).
It took my close to 2.5 years for my first redemption.

Your salary is irrelevant. How much u spend with cc monthly and where u spend it(whether amex accepted) is more important.
Better to volunteer when paying bills ( then collect from friends), buying air ticket for people ( and collect back money) and stuffs

So if let say i purchased MAS ticket using mbb 2card and also fill up the enrich membership, i would earn EM from both place right? (TP from Mbb card and EM via the Enrich membership)

I think salary is relevent to get the CC, to maximise the earning potential xD

Im also leaning toward mbb 2card but not really sure thr will be a lot merchant accepting AMEX.
Tried to look thru the AMEX post in here and seems like not much merchant actually accept.

Sorry im fairly new to the enrich club xD


Side note: besides EM, anyone tried to redeem for AA big point? Is it worth it? I wonder combined with the BIG prepaid card how easy will it be to earn Big points

You are right regarding MAS ticket.
Amex, still relatively few merchants are accepting, but at least major supermarkets are accepting (set aside luxury spending) and try alter your purchase to maximize Amex use.
Big point. Don't bother too much. Ha

I’m travelling one way from KUL-BCN and I’ve decided to pick and Emirates flight. When trying to book the flight on Emirates website, there’s an info showing the required miles to upgrade to business (but I believed it’s for sky rewards?)

Ive not actually booked the flight yet but would I be able to upgrade to business using Enrich instead?
