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?
I redeemed 2 tickets one-way with British Airways, Singapore to Sydney in First Class just for the experience.End to end process if possible, to give a good idea on how it works and which channel is reliable.

I chose BA because they have a Reward Flight Finder on their website which allows you to specify any month or even 'full year availability' search and allows you to set the number of tickets you want so it was relatively easy to find some availability (if you are not picky on date): https://www.britishairways.com/travel/flightfinder/public/
Many other airlines make it quite hard to see award availability or if they do, not let you filter on 2 tickets being available for a given date. I did pay for a 1 month membership to try one of the paid services - I think it was www.seats.aero but I can't remember and it wasn't that helpful.
Once I found the specific flights I gave the dates and flight number to the MAS call center agent and they make the reservation instantly according to the table above. The only thing that is a bit unknown is how much the taxes will be. You could actually do a dummy booking for cash and in the check-out page see how much is the air fare versus how much is the tax
