Wakaka, I unfortunately don't have much choice due to varied flights and credit cards I'm on. If I had a choice I'd probably stick to Star Alliance but as of now it's all over the place. I'm at around 270k on UA Mileageplus, 160k on Krisflyer, 55k on AAdvantage plus more on Avios, Emirates etc. Emptied out my Etihad buying stuff and Enrich earlier this year when I got biz during their promos.

You are flying 400k elite miles a year ??? That close to KUL-LAX-KUL twice every month in EY or Once every month in F!!! LOL

I only manage to do about 120k elite miles a year and i have to choose a program to stay with...

No lah most of it are on credit card mile promotions. I was flying a lot some years back but now I might do two J to LAX/NYC a year so at most 40-50k seat miles only. For those I've been focusing on Star Alliance since like 2009. You're way ahead of me there

The plan is to use up those miles for a family trip to the US, unfortunately with all the varied miles I have I can't consistently get a J/F flight on one award ticket, will have to split it up...

Im losing out sometimes also when i have no choice but to travel with MAS where fare class is V which i get nothing from my CX marco polo. Anyhow Enrich still sux,

Does anyone facing missing enrich miles claims for transit flight? and it is not claimable from their webpage?

e.g :
case 1 : kCH - KL - Bangkok Enrich miles given : KCh - KL only. When try to claim from their enrich website it says retro claims exist.

case 2: KCH - Kota Kinabalu - Bandarseri begawan (brunei) Enrich mile given : KCH - KK only. When try to claim from their enrich website also the same message says retro claims exist.

any suggestion?

Call them up. Takes me 5 mins to speak to them and they are usually deposited within a week.

From my experience, Maybank usually credit the Enrich Miles into my account within a week from the time I call.

However, for UOB it takes like forever. In July 2013 requested my UOB VI UNIRINGGIT be redeemed for Enrich Miles and after 1 month nothing. Call UOB CS on a weekend and I was told that I would be contacted the next working day as the department in charge is close. Well, they did call me back and and tell me they will credit it immediately. After few days I checked and happy to note the Enrich Miles credited.

Also early this month I once again requested that UOB convert some more UniRinggit to Enrich, now end of August and I just checked my Enrich Miles account and they yet to credit it!!! Got to call CS again to get it resolved.

Conclusion, if you want to convert your UOB UNIRINGGIT to Enrich, better do it early and check frequently the status.

1U has an event this weekend, and one can get 10% extra Enrich Miles if converted from MBB treatpoints.
Sadly i converted prior to Aug 1 thanks to the devaluation. Enrich Miles conversion did (has?) not devalued during that time unlike the other items.

dam we are on the same boat...converted before August as afraid they will inflate. End up for Enrich Miles there is not inflation.

Thank you thank you. I must drop by 1U this weekend.

Damn, didn't see this until too late.

On a side note, when will our Enrich miles be redeemable on OneWorld flights or are they already? I know the opposite is true ie. if you have AAdvantage miles for example you can book MH flights already.

Yesterday I did go to 1U to convert both my MBB and VI points to Enrich Miles.

However the young man at the counter told me that

1. By keying any of the card number, the system will summarized the total points of all my cards.

2. So if he was to key in my MBB 2 AMEX and perform the redemption, then 7000TP = 1100 Enrich will be applied to my VI points.

3. And if he was to key in my VI number, then 4500TP = 1100 Enrich Miles including the TP earned for my AMEX 2

So all my TP including those in my AMEX 2 account were converted at 4500TP = 1100 Enrich Miles

I believe MBB will eventually note this "error" and rectify it in the future by deducting my AMEX 2 TP later

The last two time I used my TP converted to Enrich Miles and got my son return flight to US on Business Class. So with yesterday conversion plus me recently used my UOB UNIRINGGIT to convert to Enrich, I have enough for a return flight to US on Business Class again This time not giving my son the Business class ticket but to my wife as she wants to go to the US next year to visit him and I guess I have to fly economy again if I follow her

Aiyo, I forgot about this if not I can convert my 800k TP at 4,500TP to 1,100 Enrich miles, that's an extra of nearly 18k miles!!

This week when I checked, Maybank has credited the Enrich Miles I redeemed last week at 1U into my account

I updated my article on Enrich Miles to include the Standard Chartered Bank WorldMiles MasterCard. In my micro review of this said card, for earning Enrich Miles better go with Maybankard 2 Cards. But if you fly Air Asia only, maybe it is worth the time to get the SCB WorldMiles MasterCard and earn yourself 25,000 Big shot points before 31 December 2013.

Bro... those credit card point convert to enrich miles will contribute elite miles also?

No.. credit card based points do not count as elite (BIS) miles

i wanna ask which credit cards offered the best conversion rate/ earnings for Enrich for overseas spending? Except VI as i am not qualified

4 cards in my mind:
Citi Premiermiles Amex (Earn 1 PremierMile for every RM2 spend both locally and overseas)(1 premiermile equivilant to 1 enrich)
SCB Worldmiles mastercard (overseas retail purchase RM2 for 1 worldmiles point, equivilant to 1 enrich/ big points)
CIMB Enrich Platinum MasterCard (Earn 2 Enrich Miles for every RM4 on overseas)
AmBank Visa Signature (giving 3X overseas spend, 5,500 AmBonus points = 1,000 Air Miles)

what u guys think? will the citi premiermiles amex attract higher conversion rate since it's amex (2-2.5%)?

I believe Gen-X mentioned about it a few posts back with a link to his blog to show comparison.

As for your question which credit card offer the best conversion for Enrich, you have answered the question yourself by posting the conversion to Enrich with the 4 cards mentioned above. All 4 cards about the same but AmBank VS is lower.

But I guess you better go check what is CIMB Platinum Enrich Annual Fee Waiver conditions.

Like I mentioned in my article on Enrich Miles in my blog, SCB WorldMiles MasterCard got no annual fee but monthly fee of RM15 or equivalent RM180/year!!!

As for non VI, if you have read my artilces you will know the best non premium credit card for converting reward points to Enrich is no other than the Maybankard 2 Card Gold or Platinum AMEX It is stated in post#1 too.

As for conversion rate, nowadays Visa conversion is kind of high and Maybankard VI also now imposes a fee of about 2% on top of Visa's rate See my post #515 here.
