Anyone know when the next bonus (ie. 4.5TP to 1 mile) round of TP to Enrich conversion will happen? Or will it ever happen?

I still have too many regular TP and not enough Premiere TP

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.

I could've sworn I got a call from @tinkerbel to go to an event where they were converting platinum TP to Enrich at 4.5TP per mile. This was sometime in 2013, not a normal public event.

Let me try your "method" too

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

Ha ha, ya I think she did cancel the useless SCB VI card finally and got her Maybank VI last I had dinner with her. I think her NYC trip was also done through that Maybank TP to Enrich/KF conversion although I could be wrong.

Thanks again for the tip Gen-X, I need to find time to go to 1U and do the conversion sometime. Not sure if I want to do Enrich or KF though. Enrich is only good during the 50% off sale, otherwise I prefer KF... decisions

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

Regarding this - I've transferred points from Maybank to several Enrich accounts that aren't mine - no problem. As recent as a few weeks ago.

Yep. Redeem same way , via the online catalogue

thanks man
but gosh! i was close to be able to redeem one business ticket to Europe during year end 50% miles promo
now need to re-accumulate under my mom's enrich

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.

Gen-X. I love your articles. Very helpful. I was just wondering 1 thing. Is it cheaper to book Business class directly with full Enrich miles, or is it cheaper to book Economy class, then upgrade with Enrich miles? Thanks!

glad to hear and know all these.
MAS can restructure but dont deflate enrich miles value. haha

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.

I prefer to fully redeem EM for a business class...with 15% discount on published miles....
can't get discount with upgrade as far as I know

is this across board. wanted to convert alliance pts into all family accounts today to book some business class tickets to europe. and surprise surprise all of a sudden cant be done anymore. 2 yrs ago i did it and no problem can get the miles to any account.

we only use main and supp cards for convenience and now i have a huge amount of miles which i can only dump in the main account holders account - just to transfer them afterwards and having to PAY for it or use the main holders enricht account for redemption (rendering the odd 50k miles in the accounts almost useless). i am pretty pissed.

which card offers good points to miles (and if possible some cashback) for a turnover of approx. 100-120,000 RM p.a. on the card?

Maybank 2 Premier

5x pts for any spending on Amex

2x pts for local spending with Visa, 5x pts for oversea spending with visa

conversion at 4300 pts to 1000 Enrich Miles

thanks - i called maybank and they told me i can only transfer into primary account holder's enrich account also. most of my spending is local - would i be able to pay with amex as easily as with visa? then it would be an interesting option. anyone can share their experience?

there are someone mention able to transfer enrich to other account than primary..
if you living in Klang Valley area, i don't see any problem spending with amex as it widely acceptable...
e.g. 1U is like 70% acceptance for amex.

even though amex not acceptable, your Visa still earn you 2x points local..

i manage to spend like 80% with Amex living in KV. Even if you are using the Visa I don't think any other card offer more than 2x points and have better conversion rate to EM than this Maybank.
