Slightly off-topic... If you son is always flying on the lowest Economy Class fare bracket on Cathay Pacific (N, O, Q, S), ask him to join British Airways Executive Club and use that. Cathay Pacific Asia Miles doesn't give any miles on any of the mentioned Economy Class fare bracket (N, O, Q, S). And one requires less British Airways Executive Club miles to redeem for a ticket on Cathay Pacific (yes, even Cathay Pacific own Asia Miles needs more miles compared to BA Executive Club to redeem a ticket on a CX operated flight).

1. Yes. You may even save their Enrich number in your account.

2. Just put 123456789123

No problem! But there was some confusion just now. I thought you were going to sign up an Enrich account for both your parents. And I thought you have a MAS website account in which you can save your details in there as well as anyone else that you frequently help to book a ticket. Having a MAS website account will let you have a speedier booking process as you don't have to manually fill in all information such as name, contact number etc. Hence my earlier reply saying that you can even save your parents' Enrich number into your MAS website account.


Actually the table you attached is for rewards points-miles conversion. You don't actually earn any Enrich Miles when you pay for your parents' ticket using your AMEX

Part of the many reasons why MAS has been losing billions of dollars and counting...

It is one of the many contributing factors, not just the catering contract with Brahim, bonuses paid to the people in the top management etc.

MAS was never good in yield management. The most absurd thing is that on most occasion, award seat is still made available even on a near sold out cabin. From customer POV, that's a wonderful thing. However, from the company perspective, that's a stupid thing. Besides that, MAS is still selling most of their tickets below their operating expenses. The CEO thinks by increasing the aircraft utilization rate it will help the airline. Well, it will help to a certain extent but to sell your tickets below cost ? And to introduce red-eye flights around Southeast Asia ? Anyway, we're kinda going off topic now.

Avios is very good when it comes to redeem a partner award ticket. For instance on Cathay Pacific/Dragonair, the Avios needed to redeem an award seat on CX/KA flight is less compared to using Asia Miles. The fees we need to pay is significantly less too for award seat redemption through Avios.

RM3k per ticket per person looks like a promo ticket that earns only 25% of the mileage flown. So no where each person will earn a minimum 64k Enrich miles.

It won't be 8k+ Enrich miles. More like 2k+- Enrich miles only if that really is a promo fare where only 25% of the mileage flown can be earned one-way. So for a return trip it's 4K+-.

A fellow user Rockefeller used to be actively looking to buy Enrich Miles. Not sure if he still does but you may try to contact him directly via PM.

Hey Hye. Points needed for Enrich Saver are actually still of decent value. Only 32800 points + less than RM300 tax and fuel surcharge needed to redeem a return economy class ticket to Seoul-Incheon. Return ticket to Bangkok is 13200 + RM209 only which is also a good deal, considering how expensive the air ticket to Bangkok is now. Anyway, all the above is for economy class redemption only.


Check out South Korea, Thailand and Australia. Still decent value there. Tax to Sydney or Melbourne is a bit high though, over RM600 + 40800 points needed a return economy class ticket.

This happens whenever Enrich is having promotion.
