The CC-airline miles game in Malaysia is pretty much gone at the moment. Not sure why the banks decided to go this way.

It's still a big game in many other countries, including the red dot down south.

Due to Ringgit depreciation? Miles are traded internationally so most likely bank cost is in USD. Their miles cost has probably gone up a lot on Ringgit basis.
*
The Maybank devaluation is 5000 to 10000 and for the amex reserve, 5 to 2 points. That's a 500% devaluation, or a 1/5 new value (RM=1 mile to RM5=1mile).

That's not by any stretch of imagination, inflation based valuation.

I think the squeeze is happening on both ends.

On the accumulation side, the points per spend have been decreased significantly.

On the redemption side, the seats are being reduced in favour of full fee paying passengers. I’ve nearly given up trying to get redemption awards for upgrades (eg Business to Suites) for 2 persons as wife and I usually travel together, so we just end up buying the tickets outright instead.

Isn't upgrade generally poorer value than full.redemption?

Yes, but look at it this way:

1. I can’t afford to be put on waiting list. Time is money and I have to confirm my dates otherwise my patients will maki hamun flip table when they fly in from Indonesia or Vietnam only to find the practice closed and no cover because of some last minute shit.

2. So we usually book and pay to confirm our slot, and depending on what we are down to do over at the destination (eg just visiting home and Netflix and chill for a month vs I have patients to see in Sydney because my colleagues have gathered enough cases for me to consult) we would have decided on Business (for the former scenario) vs First or Suites (for the latter - hey, gotta pamper myself a bit).

3. If it’s the former (ie Business) then we try our luck to see if we can get an upgrade using our points.

We have a tonne of points and not many uses for them. There are only so many 30% discounted Apple iPhone or iPad models that I am willing to buy from Krisshop every year…

I welcome some donation of miles....😁

I read from Ambank card site that we need 20000 Enrich Points to redeems flight to Korea (one-way). Does this 20000 points apply through the whole year (peak and off peak)?
*
Enrich now use revenue pricing to determine the miles needed to redeem, so varies on the prevalent fares.

Some flights may have "savers" redemption, which is lower fixed miles redemption, but will be quickly snapped up especially to popular destinations.

The sweet spot (best value) redemption is actually business class redemption, but unfortunately for enrich, after moving to revenue pricing method, it's useless/not worth anymore.

For savers have to book months in advance, and if I’m not mistaken, is non refundable too right?
*
All redemptions you have to take as non refundable as even the "refundable' categories, once you factor in the penalties, it's often not worth it.

There is no means to redeem with other Oneworld airlines with the MH App or website, you will need to trial and error the target airline and sectors for availability, and the call the CS to get them to book for you.

Although SQ App have a Star Alliance and "partner airline" option in the redemption process, you consistently also get no options available too.

The Airlines alliances are not as tightly knitted as we would like to think. The only service that works consistently is using status to enter alliance airlines' lounges, get priority seats and boarding. Even that, you can run into trouble with QR.

Reading the news about issue with MAS.
What happens if you book a flight with Miles and get cancelled / delayed? Do we get back the Miles used + Taxes paid?

I have redeemed all my credit cards to Enrich Miles recently, and accumulated enough points to redeem flight tickets for me and my family members to travel to Japan.

Question: Can I redeem the tickets for my family members and myself under my account, or do I need to transfer the points to their Enrich account to redeem the flight ticket?

Some help on this would be appreciated as I've never redeem flight using Miles before. Thank you.

You can redeem for your family.

New mavcom rule can get refund of points too.

Question: I have points expiring early next year, does it mean that the flight I book needs to be before the expiry date to utilize it? Or it is fine if I book something after the expiry date and it will still use up the expiring points?
*
Book before the points expire.

Can book up to 350 days ahead, which is the usual timeframe airlines open flights for booking.

So its based on booking date, not flight date right?

Well, once your points expire they disappear...lol

And you can book up to 350 days into the future anytime, whether cash or points.

Just to double check, there is no expiry date for Alliance VI timeless bonus points and UOB PRVI Miles Elite uniringgit? Don't really want to convert my miles now since enrich miles has an expiry date of 3 years.

Don't hoard your miles. They devalued regularly. Use them asap.

Usually means business use, which is actually prohibited by the banks. Need to be careful, otherwise they can blacklist you.

The problem with enrich now is that redemption is based on revenue ticket price...so it's not attractive.

But they do have the savers category, which is the best, but that's only available only for y class.

so you find a y to mel for 25,000 EP, but it's 150,000 for J. How to redeem for J!!

There is no indication on the app to show any carry forward to 2025 yet.

Only what was carried forward from last year to this year.

Anyone can help advise experience ...

if I want to redeem flights with points for family member (not travelling with me) , how do I do this aside from calling ENRICH cust.svc?

I tried via app and website , passenger name and enrich ID is under my name. I can change name but not enrich ID, there will be warning / error saying "frequent flyer number provided is invalid". 

Is that the process ?

QUOTE(zstan @ Dec 23 2024, 05:16 PM)
you need to transfer your enrich points to your family member's account.
*
No no no, don't transfer your points, it cost money/points.

Just redeem, but the BUG (I have called them many times already but typical Malaysian company, no solution) is that you cannot enter their Enrich number, it will capture you number. You will get an error message at the end, but the booking WILL go through.

Then you call them up (SC) and tell them to manually change to the pasenger's number.

BUT, if you book together with them, it WILL allow you to enter additional passengers' names and numbers.

The system (both webpage and App) is buggy like hell.

Only 42 elite points to get gold. No wonder the golden lounges nowadays so crowded. Starting to experience no seats lately at the domestic lounge, never happened before.

Are you guys carried forward points still showing under maintenance?

Yes

Only showing earned elite points at the moment. Doesn't matter, as it only is important at that end of the year.

The App is currently full of errors. Cannot automatically capture bookings, error messages when reviewing bookings, App page freezes on completion of bookings, when changing bookings any paying extra charges, the final ticket doesn't reflect the full fare. And cannot capture the carried over elite points.
