When i try to redeem Enrich Mile, it only covers the fare but for tax, we will have to pay using own cash... currently contemplating whether is it worth to change TP for EM..

QUOTE(tigaxxx @ Apr 23 2014, 04:43 PM) Last week I went to Kota Kinabalu and took business class flight using enrich miles redemption.. Have to pay RM127 Surcharges & Taxes + 19,150 enrich miles The fare at the time was RM1,091.00 + RM9 taxes = RM1,100.00 So, 19,150 EM equal to 1,100-127 = RM973 = 86175 TPs (MBB2 card premier) therefore 86,175 TPs = RM973 for MBB2 card premier or U have to spend RM17,235 (using MBB2 AMEX reserve) in order to get 86,175 TPs - in term of "cash rebate" --> 973/17,235 = 5.6% Go figure , whether worth converting to EM or not......   QUOTE(tigaxxx @ Apr 23 2014, 04:58 PM) As a comparison, u can redeem Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo for 377,500 TP's , which the retail price is RM1699 I think... Thanks for the info.I did try to check Kuala lumpur to Penang business class fares. Total is about RM572 on 17/5/2014. When using enrich miles to redeem, i have to pay 14,900 Enrich Miles + MYR 97.00. 14900/(572-97), This means RM1 = 31.3 Enrich point For yours, 19150/973, this equals to RM1 = 19.68 Enrich point. Your redemption much more worth it. How come the Enrich point redemption is not standardize one? |

Further checking to compare the fare price between normal fare and enrich mile redemption fare:
Same flight on 17/5/2014 Miles used for this booking : 1,000 Your miles balance : 3,182 Balance you need to pay Flight Price : MYR 162.00Tax + Fees : MYR 58.00 Total : MYR 220.00 Total amount to be paid : 1,000 Enrich Miles + MYR 220.00 But when I checked on the normal fare without Enrich redemption, it is only RM145. It is even cheaper than booking with Enrich Miles. Is Malaysia Airlines trying to cheat here? |
