anyone with M2Premier have HSBC Premier card as well ?

in terms of earned points/charges which is better ?

It doesn't hurt to have both, but spend your first RM1500 at 8x (Mid Valley)/5x points on the Premier first.

Same for overseas hotel/dining. The first RM2000 goes straight to HSBC, and 2Cards Reserve takes the rest.

If you want lounge access just "get" a Star Alliance/Oneworld elite card on Taobao instead biggrin.gif

As for the miles strategy, I credited my first 30k into Asia Miles and used them together with my balance to upgrade myself to CX first for an upcoming trip. 50k to upgrade from US West Coast to HKG- not too bad!


I would credit to Krisflyer if I wanted to book full award tickets instead of upgrades, though.

this is new to me, is there a way to buy yourself elite status with *A and OW ?

Status *matching* (cough).
Last year you could match with Turkish Airlines for Star, Airberlin for Oneworld and Alitalia for Skyteam, but those were one-off promos.

Nothing available now- Alitalia has stopped, and Turkish only matches MH Platinum (OW Emerald).

If you're getting <40k miles a year I would say this card isn't worth it now.
