I lurked around in flyertalk long enough to look for these opportunities

Hyatt still extend status matches for SPG Plat members to Diamond, everything else they matched to Hyatt Plat...but this time the requirement a bit different.

Not sure if Hilton still accept status matches though for now, but you're already Hilton Gold...that is more than good since can get lounge access.
I tried my fake diamond power at Hilton KL in Dec & loved it! although not upgraded to suite & the lounge was renovated, but really satisfied with the way they decorated my room & leave a small cake on the table (we're celebrating my sister's birthday).
I would love to try Grand Hyatt KL & redeem DSUs later, but their rates is the most expensive!!

Marriott wont bother matching anything, soon they will become the Skynet of hotels
I never spend a single night with them just because their loyalty program sucked.

I got Gold member Hyatt membership but all my points have expired...

suppose to redeem free rooms last year but forgotten....

aiyoh syg nya...how many points was that? can just use their spa & get points, no need to stay

cannot remember. but it is enough to redeem 2 nights stay in singapore...

holy sheet that's quite substantial amount of points...try call them & politely asked?

YA....may be I should do that.

Good luck & do update us yeah

Applied Maybank KrisFlyer Amex for fun.. received it today, they got my KF account embossed on it too.

Sweet! 3,000 miles and PPL lounge access

RM 250 annual fee next year

still long to go for it's "next year". Abuse it while it last

hahaha~~~

that's great

btw, maybank AL can't waive if no condition said can waive right?

can try. used to have a platinum credit card with them and if you use it enough, they might do it for you.

Just asking, is this share credit limit with other MBB credit card ?? Recently my friend has just applied it too for PPL purpose

of course shared.

Anyone here applied for the Citibank Prestige card, with the current ongoing promotion of USD100 hotels.com and 200k Citi Rewards Points? Very few responses in the Citibank specific thread, so I thought I'd ask here.

https://www.citibank.com.my/prestige/applynow.html

In summary:

- RM1,060 annual fee *not* waivable even for the first year
- 1 Citi Reward Points per RM1. (2 points per overseas RM)
- 200,000 Citi Rewards Points after spending RM12k in 2 months (roughly 30k AM/KF/Enrich with the added advantage of Avios, Qatar, Etihad, HHonors, IHG, etc.)
- USD100 hotels.com voucher
- free 4th night stay if you fulfill certain requirements
- free KLIA limo, free PPL etc.

My objective is purely the miles so overall the 30k free miles is attractive, the free 4th night is lukewarm, the RM1k annual fee is a huge turn off.

This seems to be a watered down version of the US Citi Prestige card

Bro, can you enlighten us with what you means by "added advantage of Avios, Qatar, Etihad, HHonors, IHG, etc."? Doesn't seems to find their terms and condition mentioned anything about the advantage towards hotel rewards program. Thanks in advance

And the calculation of miles earned per RM 1 spent oversea is 0.29 miles for new Citibank member, 0.40 miles for 10 years old Citi Gold customer.

What I meant was that the 200k Citi Rewards Points can be transferred to other programs and not just KF/AM/Enrich, including Avios, Qatar etc. This is more in line with American Express Membership Rewards and quite a bit better than Maybank Treats Points.

I don't disagree that the earning potential is very limited compared to Maybank Premiere cards. Also no word on annual fee waiver.

Thanks bro for the info

I was actually wondering should I go for it. Quite sure that the annual fees wouldn't be waive unless substantial amount spent(CIMB World Elite MC needed RM 1mil). What I'm wondering is, are there any other benefits(Not on paper) that is exclusive for World Elite MC holder or special benefits from Citibank itself.

I honestly do not know if there are other benefits of the World Elite Mastercard, have not looked at the card much due to the high annual fee and I cannot justify paying that much for what you get.

Granted RM1k minus ~Rm400 from the hotels.com voucher is still RM600 per year only. Also for me RM12k in 2 months would be stretching it in my current low spend mode...
