QUOTE(wwlew @ Jan 10 2016, 11:13 PM) No set date bro. Currently I am just having 50k miles. I plan to go to London, Melbourne or Korea in the future but not sure when yet. Will go for the Singapore Airlines business class. Well, KUL-SIN-ICN return in J will cost you 68k miles and RM1,721.90. I'll pay the RM600 and swipe the cards a little more to reach 68k and enjoy SQ J class to Seoul return.If you were me, would you pay 2% charge (RM 600) just for the 13k miles? Burn money or save money? haha |

Thanks for all the great info bros. Another thing I really consider is that if I swipe the RM 30,000 and pay the RM 600 charge, I can definitely spend over RM 80k per year and get the auto waiver. I can save the RM 800 annual fees as well.
If I do not swipe the RM 30,000, I can spend roughly around RM 60,000 per year. Do you think they will waive my annual fees if I call in to request? 🤔🤔🤔 |

And can redemption be done online for SQ just like MA? |

For the SQ flight to Seoul I plugged in random dates in May: Saver award seats were available. |

Did a redemption for Krisflyer miles on Saturday. I asked whether they cross-check the MBB account holder name with the Krisflyer account. She told me MBB does not check but the airlines will revert back to them in the case the names differ. Anyone else managed to transfer miles to other people's FFP account?
BTW the miles came through yesterday, so took them 4 days. |

That's RM1k down the hole automatically. 2. RM1 = 2.5 treat miles = 0.393 Enrich miles for WMC. Compare this with Premiere's RM1 = 2 TP = 0.419 Enrich/KF/AM 3. No mention on Treat AirMiles = Treat Points or Treat Airmiles conversion to KF/AM 4. RM120k spend annually to avoid annual fee Advantages: * 50k treat miles sign up bonus * treat miles never expire Aside from the 50k sign up bonus, I am not seeing much to like here. |
