Go for Enrich Money if you got nothing to spend with your soon to expired points. 40 points get RM 1.
Spend with own money first, claim later on.
This month only, can direct redeem points to cash at the same ratio.

Buying Economy and then doing Business Upgrade is not very attractive with MAS. Flying Business however is the best way to get the most value for your points compared to cash cost of that ticket and for me it is the most fun way to burn miles you acquired for free anyway.

You are best looking are their fixed price Enrich Saver redemption. 100k is one-way in Business to London. 108k is return ticket to Tokyo in Business.

MAS also offer partner redemptions which include OneWorld Airlines plus Emirates.

For 158,000 points you could fly Singapore to Melbourne in Emirates First Class (although this route is being cancelled shortly) which would be pretty fun with chauffeur pick-up although in the winter time this is on the 777 rather than the A380 which is the one with the shower. The cash value of this ticket is RM30k.

For those who just need to cash out Enrich Money allows that.

When I redeem economy flights, the ratio is about 1000 Enrich Miles for RM35-38.

So the full details are here: https://enrich.malaysiaairlines.com/enrich/...conditions.html

Then go to Redeeming Enrich Points, then down to oneworld Airlines and Airline Partner Travel Award.

The redemption rate table is here:

Partner redemptions cannot be done online so you need to call the Malaysia Airlines Call Center or visit the Ticket Offices.

All of the that is the simple part, the hard part is actually finding Reward availability. I booked Singapore to Sydney in First Class with British Airways because they have an online Reward Flight Finder search: https://www.britishairways.com/travel/fligh...n_gb?eId=100001

What you really need to do is find availability first and ask the MH staff to book it for you, they are not very experienced at finding award availability and will offer you flights that cost a million points.

There are third party services for which you can get a free trial or pay 1 month access for 10USD that will help you search for availability on other airlines like JAL or Emirates that may not have their own search.

Edit: I saw in terms and conditions that Emirates cannot be redeemed for First Class which was previously one of my suggestions flying out of Singapore.

I'm still struggling to find a good local spend card. I spend a lot on the usual offline shopping, groceries, dining and etc etc...

So far the one I am using is either the SCB Journey or UOB WC, but I don't find the accumulation is good enough.

I'm using Hongleong Infinite Enrich. Mostly on local spending for clocking enrich miles. Still better than dumb Treatpoints from Maybank where it's almost impossible to covert due to monthly capped limit.

Last month, the total miles need for KLIA - Osaka was 68K per pax. Got it for 50K miles today. Is this the lowest?
