Is it me or is there just far too many people who can't seem to google for answers before posting here?

Not only they don't bother to google and they are also too lazy to visit www.maybank2u.com.my to click on the Credit Cards to find out all the details before posting.

2.5k cash for 52k miles
just about the price, the 52k miles can be exchange for flight ticket worth about 2.5k as well, so no lose no gain, but you show to the bank that you are able to swipe 125k and pay back in one shoot, may increase your credit rating within the bank, make you easier for future card upgrade, credit limit increase and loan application.

You seriously think that this is worthwhile? You are willing to trade RM2.5k for 52k EM?

hoho, Maybank finally has a World MasterCard.

Hilton Premium Club membership is around RM600+ /year if I recall ? And 50% off SPG eatery is pretty good.

Apart from the above :
PPL can get free with Citi
World MasterCard travel services can get with HSBC Premier

Citi and HSBC have no annual fee ... so while MBB WMC is tempting, not exactly a must-have for me.

Bro, MBB WMC has been around for many years and definately not a new card.

How long does it take to process the PPL card application once I submitted the form?

I am pretty sure you meant Priority Pass card, right? Typically 2 weeks.

Heard about the priority pass from an agent esrlier, shared here but i did not have any source.

Have a feeling next up they would raise the conversion rate sad.gif

What? Their current conversion rate is already bad enough.

The way I calculate is to compare a typical flight eg. KUL-JFK on CX/SQ which would end up to be around RM4-5.5k depending on timing. Divide that by the number of miles after deducting the fees etc. which is how I usually get RM0.05 per AM/KF mile. That's the value I get out of each mile, that's what I would pay out of pocket for it.

You might value it differently of course.

And how about MH? How much do you value each EM?
Thanks.

I don't think you can get 2 Maybank Visa Infinites...

You can definately get more than one VI. The annual fees is the killing part.

There is no black and white from MBB stating they cancelled supp card PPL access other than cancellation of Priority pass. I guess if they do really charge, one can definitely fight for the waiver.

First thing first, do we have any black and white that mention supp card holder can have complimentary access to PPL? If yes then we sure have a strong case.
