Wow, this is bad!
Just redeemed my dad a business class ticket last month, after accumulating his points for 10 years!
Will switch him into M2P then tongue.gif

Noticed that Asia Miles was not in the list, any idea what's the rate?
Or completely cut off?
I don't think they are so kind to remain at 3250 for 500 miles.

Doesn't affect premiermiles though, which i'm assuming what most Citi users who focuses on miles redemption uses. 10 years to redeem 1 business class seat? Should have ported your dad to M2P long ago tongue.gif

Old citigold.
Yes, but I just learned about miles these few years while his spending has reduced.
I dont think he can reach 80k without manufactured spending

Yes, I will get approximately 30k KrisFlyer points

Sorry to inform that Citibank has just revised their redemption rate.
New rate for KF is 7500 point - 500 miles
You will get only 16k+ miles instead of 30k, turn out to be ~6 cents/mile, which is not worth it unless you fully utilize all their benefits
Hopefully you have yet to apply. Haha.

the revision is not affected for premiermiles and prestige cards.

btw, it is almost 36k, not 30k... hahaha....

anyhow, I personally find paying that RM1000 for the 36k KF isn't worth while... on daily spending wise, your points collection is RM5 to 1 points, and that's if you have citigold and more than 10years relationship with citibank....

with using MB2P, RM1 to 1KF is so so so much faster, and don't need to pay RM1000....  sweat.gif

Thanks for your correction.
I only aware that Premiermiles is not affected but miss out on Prestige.
The intention is to "buy" miles (36k) at 3 cents + additional benefits from the card (lounge etc).
Of course M2P is the best for earning miles.

this intention is interesting. to someone who still have a gap to reach the redemption points needed, then this is a great card  whistling.gif  thumbup.gif

It is quite common esp in US where a lot people utilize the sign up bonus and most of the good cards have to pay AF

Thank you for your clarification. My intention is to apply for prestige card and get the welcome points (250K) and I'll terminate before anniversary. I'm aware that I need to spend 6K on retail transactions plus 1K, but I will get 36K Miles welcome gift + USD200 Hotel voucher + 1 year year priority pass (unlimited access). I think it worth to pay RM1000.

Yes of course MB2P is lifetime. haha

Yup. Actually I was also considering it, but I think less likely I will get it.

You may look into Amex Plat as well, they are having promotion with sign up bonus.
Getting 53k miles but AF RM3k+!!
Plan to redeem for Emirates instead

yup, the citibank officer don't know what they talking about.

First say that I need to spend Rm750 with Lazada only can get the RM 500 voucher, then say that I should be getting the Boost Rm500 voucher, then say only valid for first 2000 entries.

Finally I threaten to submit my complaint to BNM then only they confirm I will be getting RM500 Lazada voucher but still I need to wait for 3 months.

Ridiculous waiting time.

Because for their previous cybersales promo, you will get rm500 voucher after activation (or first use).
Wait 2-3 months for the voucher to arrive.
Purchase lazada (or shopee or whatever you had chosen), need to spend rm750 to use the voucher (pay only rm250).

T&c for this round has changed, you need to spend X first only can get the voucher but no minimum while redeem.
I prefer former.
