Hi all, this my first time flying overseas so just want to know some guidance.
I have enrich points. Planning to go from Singapore to London. Can we use enrich points to fly Emirates. I'm planning to buy 10 tickets , so isit worth it to use alliance visa infinite or just use wise?

If you have Ambank Enrich Visa Infinite use that instead, else just use your Alliance Visa Infinite, but the points will be capped at 3k per statement cycle, as I think it will fall under e-commerce category, so not very worth.

1. no
2. Alliance Visa Infinite got spending cap of RM 3000 so at best you can use for one ticket for X8 points. Use wise for what it's a shitty card

This is incorrect - you can redeem on Emirates in Business and Economy as a partner redemption - you need to do it via the phone or in a ticket office though. Note that Business redemptions are not eligible for the chauffer service.

Your previous answer to a question to someone suggesting they transfer points to someone else is also a very bad suggestion as 1) its unnecessary and 2) it costs money.

Are you a troll? If you don't know what you are talking about, feel free to not reply.

Emirates is a partner airline and follows the same redemption table as other OW and non-OW partners:
https://enrich.malaysiaairlines.com/enrich/...s/emirates.html

SIN to DXB to LHR is 7054 miles and I believe a connection like this can be booked as a single flight in the Zone 4 bucket.

You cannot redeem for First class so you are looking at 202,000 points in Business return or 92,000 points in Economy return, plus taxes. The taxes often mean long-haul economy redemptions don't make any sense compared to buying a cash ticket.

From the Award Chart you will see the Business rate is cheaper than the Enrich Saver rate for Malaysia Airlines so these partner redemptions can make sense.

The tricky part is finding availability - this is true of any airline program and there are a number of third party services designed to help as only select ticket fares are actually redeemable for points; e.g. https://seats.aero/emirates/departing/SIN?o...Region=Anywhere

It would make sense to find availability first and then call the MAS Call center or visit the or Malaysia Airlines Ticket Offices for booking as they do not have special tools nor expertise in finding reward flight availability.

The Malaysia Airlines website? Where exactly are you sourcing your top tips for this forum? Your ass? No wonder your post count is so high.

Has anyone with the Ambank Enrich Visa card had their carry-forward points credited to their account yet? I can't see them in my app, but the website seems to suggest that only the excess points above the full redemption requirement (i.e. 60 points for Gold), rather than the reduced redemption requirement (i.e. 42 points for Gold) , can be carried forward. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate?

If you click the little blue question mark icon next to 'Carried Forward' does it not say that AmBank carry forward is under maintenance.

Any recent experiences redeeming that you can share?

End to end process if possible, to give a good idea on how it works and which channel is reliable.

But from what I can understand, you described the process as

1. Search for award seats (generally third party)
2. Call CS to do redemption
3. Obtain tickets & travel

Now, the first few questions that I can think of would be:

1. Do we redeem Enrich points direct? or do we need to convert to say skyward miles first?
2. If enrich points direct, the rates are essentially as reflected above?

Thanks in advance.

From my Malaysia Airlines app, the Carried Forward says under maintenance.

If I log into Malaysia Airlines website it shows my carried forward points.

Generally I had ended 2024 with 131 points. With 13 points carried forward from 2023.
I had 18 points carried forward to my Enrich for 2025 although I am an AmBank Enrich Credit card holder.
So it looks like 31 points above 100 - 13 points from 2023 =18 points carried forward based on the actual platinum qualification of 100.
If it’s Ambank 70 points, I would have 132 - 13 - 70=49 points. Based on 50% 0f 70 points for Ambank Platinum qualification it would have meant a maximum of 35 points carried forward to my Enrich qualification.

Sadly it’s not and only got 18 points. (This is from the website). From my App it says under maintenance.

Hope that helps. I have already wrote an email to Enrich to ask them on how the carry forward points are calculated. Yet to get a reply.

I just received a response from Enrich! They told me: We wish to inform you that for AmBank, the Gold tier requirement is 42 TEP. As a Gold member, you are entitled to carry forward up to 21 Elite Points (50% of the tier requirement) to 2025. Upon review, we can confirm that you have accumulated 63 TEP for the year 2024. As a result, you have 21 TCF to carry forward for 2025. Your Tier Carry Forward (TCF) will be reflected in your account by 31st March 2025.

I suppose their system is just under maintenance.

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.
