Hello. Can anyone confirm whether MBB Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer AMEX awards Krisflyer Mile for government spend? I noticed from the product disclosure sheet that: QUOTE Transactions for utilities, education, EzyPay and insurance will earn 1X TreatsPoints and No TreatsPoints will be awarded for spend on government bodies, any reloads on e-wallets, payment via JomPAY and FPX I notice that it says No TreatsPoints will be awarded... but it did not KrisFlyer miles. So just wondering if they do award KrisFlyer miles?

Krisflyer cards only give miles, not treats points. No miles for government spend, removed in 2019.

Good that you can think out of the box to maximize your earning. This is the "correct" way to play CC game. Suggest to test on small amount and figure out which one earns you point/mile.

Peeps, I am planning to get a look at a new card for miles and Krisflyer Plat Amex is the one I'm looking at. No MBB cards currently.
(I read somewhere that MBB has changed their redemption for miles to 14k TP per 1k so can anyone confirm this?)
I'm currently collecting points with SC (7k pts = 1k mile) so since I'd be traveling more again, I might as well go for another card like the Krisflyer Plat. (Gonna fly SQ more again so this might be a good choice) or would the 2 plat cards be a better choice in terms of collecting TP?
Can anyone help in this? Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I am thinking to redeem for airmiles points but am torn between enrich and kris flyer points. Which is more worth it? Im planning for a year end trip to Tokyo and would like to utilise the points for miles. Is anyone familiar with this care to share? In terms of fares SQ flights are cheaper than MAS....

Do you already have a credit card already? on paper MAS is more convenient since no transit involved. With SQ you get to enjoy Changi during your transit and in terms of variety to international flights SQ definitely has much more coverage. So if your plan is just a one off flight to Tokyo and not the experience of the flight product itself then I'd stick to MAS.

One thing for MAS is we can offset the points and top up with cash making it cheaper. How about SQ Kris? I tried searching most of the miles are 45k and for those 27k in wishlist.

For SQ, you need to transit so it require longer travel time but you can enjoy in Changi or stopover in SG EM require more points to redeem. SQ most of the time on wishlist unless you redeem when they release. For myself, I take MAS to TH only. For other destination, I choose SQ

Yes sat the A350 long ago the plane was new and not bad better than A330. By the way for Krisflyer, if let say the miles not enough can i top up with cash paying the remaining? Like Enrich can...

You can have a look on the one-way flight from Japan to KL is around 12k Enrich points + RM1xx, so what I did last year was redeeming enrich for one-way Tokyo to KL, and use cash for KL to Japan

Y is still affordable, might as well just pay full price
