QUOTE(Kerry1136 @ Dec 21 2015, 01:29 PM) I once remembered you require 180k to apply and now drop to 120k and also conditional approval if there's pledging will going to have lots of applicants for this card. Soon everyone will flock the card just like how the MBB 2 card platinum used to be. If you dump 30k+ FD last time, still will get approved despite income not at 180k level. Banks are suckers for cash, sadly. I was offered this card last time if I put in 30k but I did not take it due to different spending pattern last time around :/

CX lounge KLIA, I heard it's nothing special. I'm gonna start the AM oneworld multi-carrier award flights coming weekend, it's time to do lounge hopping again This post has been edited by herc: Dec 21 2015, 03:37 PM

Tremendous value, even if it takes the patience of a monk to explain things to the AM call-centre Filipinos on duty (most HUACA for me: 4 in a day).

Across all airlines, MH still the fussy one..

It is worth it though, after all is said and done. The returns are staggering compared to say a standard 127,500 Enrich Mile redemption for KUL-LHR return. As a comparison, my recent trip with BA in business class (Club World) to Europe only cost me 75,000 miles (based on miles of route/total miles in award). Enjoy your trip!

Had 275k AM ready and waitlisted for BA and CX F, BA F cleared for KUL-LHR but not for LHR-SIN so just business all the way for 190k AM (Plan B).

Based on Lounge Index review, CX lounge should be quite decent, http://loungeindex.com/Asia/Malaysia/KUL/C...ounge/index.htmI will check out this lounge on my next trip in January

The wife was bugging so no time to collect more points. now in planning another trip to fly 50,000miles (or closest as possible) next year

PPL is much more better than it. I end up walk to PPL next door for a warm breakfast.

CX tend to be more generous to partner redemption and Only opened up the seats to MPO closer to the date. You are better chance to clear your wait list if you are a DM

I've got QR F A380 lined up as my next AM redemption. Still no idea how to get Etihad Apartments without a US based credit card.

You need to book 300+ days in advance. I just checked KUL-LHR and there are at least 2 CX J seats available same time next year.
