What card are u suggesting?

Take the MBB 2 Premier, the one with VI and Amex reserve.

Pump your spending to the Amex Reserve for airmiles laugh.gif

I don't really see a use for VS since the waiver requirement too high + no more PPL and spending qualified for CB dun get TPs....

This is so true. M2 Premier is a better option. No doubt you have to pay RM848 AF. But in return you get 52k air miles with 50k annual spending. Enough for me to fly SIA business class to Hong Kong. And way better than RM1056 cashback.

Please don't motivate them to apply for the M2P.

Later air miles conversion kena cut :/

And if you use Amex Reserve, 50k gets your 55k Air Miles.

And yeah, it's WAYYYY better than 1056 - 500 for AF.

Even if 848 AF kena also, the flight ticket business class alone is worth more than 5k laugh.gif

On a more serious note, most people are deterred by it's MYR 800+ AF and income is a barrier.

Unless those from VS wants to migrate, they would still need to top up 10k / send in income documents to be eligible for a M2P.

So it's not everyone's cup of tea + some don't even use the airmiles in the end.

this pair of cards needs 80K spending to waive the AF kan?

Maybank 2 Cards Premier
Fastest Air Miles Conversion
Principal: RM800, FREE for the first year
Subsequent years FREE if spend a min of RM80,000 per annum

Supplementary: FREE up to 4 supplementary cards

Minimum annual income: RM180,000
*
Yes, need 80k

Which is why I say, not everyone's cup of tea/coffeee/beer/whatever.

Minimum income 120k during roadshow.

Or if you are holding a VS with 20k limit, please top up another 10k.

Minimum CL for this card is 30k.

Got 50% off at Shang / Hilton and some dining benefits for me.

I have bad experience with AsiaMiles before. So bit skeptical on airmiles.

Previously i tried to change my Asiamiles for flight ticket to harbin.
They website shows 36k(for eg) , when i call them they said nope, not 36k , but 42k
"but fully booked"... I said i haven't told u the date yet.. he said fully booked for a year.... plus he said the 42k points does not include the expensive air port tax. which over RM1k.

At the end, i use my Asiamiles point for USB drive........

How is everyone experience on using air miles for air ticket redemption ?
*
Airport Tax have to pay.

I thought that's a well know fact?

What you can get however, if you manage to redeem a Business class seat to HK, the airport tax of RM 1,500 is cheap compared to the value of the ticket....

I have no experience with AsiaMiles but Enrich so far, no issue. Just sometimes it could be a little faster.

If you want more information on air miles, visit the dedicated thread.

There are some experts there would can utilize the air miles to visit multiple countries tongue.gif

How do I check if an outlet is under the qualified MCC Groceries?
Aeon supermarket - eligible?
How about the AEON general merchandise (e.g. buying clothes)?
AEON Wellness - eligible?
Aeon customer service (counter that sells cigarettes and aeon voucher) - eligible?

Tq
