Just redeemed  two ticket of round trip Penang-London flight with 112,400 Enrich miles by just paying 1615 Ringgit tax

Your redemption value is ok, quite decent.
At least you get about 5 cents / mile (definitely can't compare to J class).
This is especially true when you have excessive Enrich miles.

Equivalent route with KF will cost 152k miles!
MAS J class redemption is overpriced ~500k miles for two return tickets!

I am still exploring how to best utilize the Enrich miles...

Will not waste miles on Y
Any good trick to get good value for J class (with Enrich)?

On Enrich, just from observation, KL-Tokyo Business Class flights seem to require a lot less miles (100-130k return) than to other similar distance routes.

Is it still worth it to collect enrich miles via cc?

Yea. Short distance - Japan, China, HK seem getting better value compare to Europe / Aus.
Even OW rate isn't too attractive.

Sigh...im just started accumulating miles from my cc for this past 3 month...really2 want to try business or first class tho

So which airmiles is really worth it?

If i need confirm seats, means i need to get advantage?

Sorry im really new with this airmiles thing...🙏

Currently comparing enrich 130k (business class) for tokyo vs krisflyer 140k (sq)...

Hello guys, I'm planning to redeem Qatar business class using Asia miles, just wondering if it only show the miles needed for the route and didn't show "waitlist" means it is a confirm seat?

I not yet transfer my point to asia miles just want to double confirm before transferring it and want to know does anyone redeem before Qatar flight using asia miles?

Anyone spot it?


Airmiles redemption rate is reduced to 6000 from 7000.
Nevertheless, it is still lower than the initial 5000.
Hopefully this is not typo as the redemption catalogue is still showing 7000 (till 31-Mar).
Looks like at lot people are dumping their Amb CC and they need extra effort to gain back the crowd.
Haha!

5 points per RM spend overseas....still not as good as ambank's vi/m2p.....but the wmc will save you about 1 Sen per RM due to lower FC conversion charges.....

Anyone knows if there's a card similar to BigPay in Australia?
Tried finding but couldn't find. A lot of things they don't have, don't even have e-wallets

Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, Senior Vice President, Emirates Skywards, Domenic Fuda, HLB Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and Perry Ong, Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard during the launch of Emirates HLB Mastercard cards in Kuala Lumpur recently.

· Daily spends on Emirates HLB cards earn Skywards Miles redeemable for flight rewards on Emirates and partner airlines
· Welcome bonus of up to 10,000 Skywards Miles
· Attractive benefits including first year anniversary bonus rewards, complimentary Emirates Lounge access, airport transfers and golf privileges

Kuala Lumpur, 2 May 2019

Hong Leong Bank Berhad (“HLB” or “the Bank”), one of Malaysia’s leading financial service organisations and Emirates Skywards, the award-winning loyalty programme of Emirates and flydubai, have launched a new range of co-branded credit cards for customers in Malaysia. The Emirates HLB cards were launched in Kuala Lumpur by Domenic Fuda, Hong Leong Bank Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, Senior Vice President, Emirates Skywards and Perry Ong, Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard.

The Emirates HLB card portfolio comprises three variants - the Emirates HLB World Elite, the Emirates HLB World and the Emirates HLB Platinum card- and is designed to offer a host of exclusive benefits to customers with diverse requirements and interests. The credit cards will be supported by network provider Mastercard.

Emirates HLB card holders can hit the ground running with a sign on bonus of up to 10,000 Skywards Miles after their first spend and can also earn Miles at a higher rate when purchasing flight tickets directly with Emirates and on any eligible international spends.

Emirates HLB World Elite and World card customers will also be offered complimentary access to the Emirates Lounge in Kuala Lumpur and Dubai and Emirates Skywards Silver membership for one year, unlocking exclusive perks such as priority check-in, boarding and additional checked baggage allowance on Emirates flights. Subject to minimum spend criteria, World Elite and World customers will also be eligible to receive up to 160,000 bonus Skywards Miles which can be redeemed for a Business Class return ticket on Emirates between Kuala Lumpur and Europe.

According to HLB Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Domenic Fuda, the partnership with Emirates Skywards is part of the Bank’s strategy to accelerate the growth of its payments’ business, leveraging on the growing travel segment in Malaysia.



Some of the unique benefits that customers can access with their Emirates HLB cards include:

Earning Skywards Miles for transactions at the rate of up to 2.5 Miles per MYR 4 spent
Welcome bonus of up to 10,000 Skywards Miles
First anniversary Skywards Miles bonus of up to 160,000 Miles upon meeting a minimum spend criteria. The bonus Miles can be redeemed for a return Emirates Business Class ticket from Kuala Lumpur to European destinations
Emirates Skywards Silver membership for one year
Complimentary access to Emirates Lounges in Kuala Lumpur and Dubai
Complimentary airport transfers in Malaysia and golf access privileges globally

Customers can visit https://www.hlb.com.my/emirates for more information on the Emirates HLB cards and details on card application.

Good move by HLB to cooperate with Emirates.
Sign-on bonus - 10k miles
Spend 300k - 150k miles
Anniversary bonus (spend 300k) - 10k miles (why they split into 2???)
Overseas spend (1.75 miles / RM4) = 0.44 mile / RM spend
Local spend (1 mile / RM4) = 0.25 mile / RM spend

Assuming you spend exactly 300k locally:
You get 150k + 10k + 75k (set aside welcome bonus)
= 235k miles / RM300k
= 0.78 mile / RM spend (almost tally with your calculation 1 mile / RM1.22 spend)

Pros:
Mastercard, can use anywhere
Include JomPay and Gov transaction (for 300k; but not sure whether it contribute for normal local spend - 0.25 mile/RM)
Not many Msia CC can redeem Emirates miles
4x Emirates KLIA lounge

Cons:
Only can redeem Emirates miles
High income requirement - 250k (not many people can achieve this)
AF RM2500
Only 1 complimentary lounge access??? (exclude 4x Emirates KLIA lounge)

Conclusion:
Must spend RM300k, only worth getting this card (and of course must fly Emirates)
If you are ready to pay for AF, you may look into Amex The Platinum Card instead (but it is Amex card)
Hopefully more CC will offer reward for JomPay and Gov spending

Agree, but if you can't spend rm300k, no need to think about it
Also, provided jompay & Gov consist of a large portion.
Else I think better stick to M2P.

Update:
- Cardholder will be enrolled under LoungeKey.
  Complimentary membership = unlimited entry?
  Why it is stated 1x lounge access / year (for World Elite, but no mention anything for World card)

- Based on product sheet, Retail Transaction EXCLUDE Gov spending and JomPay.
  Both the above will be accumulated towards 300k annual spending, but I think not eligible for local spend (RM4 = 1 mile category)

Anyone here is a Hilton Honors member? I need favour in purchasing Hilton Honor Points as I've maxed out mine. There's a promo now. TnC: Your account need to be at least 90 days old to transfer as Gift to me

You earn your CC points by transacting in USD. I earn the matching bonus

Win-win for you and me. If any kind soul willing to take the risk and transact with stranger like me, do PM.

Hilton Garden Inn and Double Tree in either SG, HK and Australia. Want to accumulate for my future travels there

I've already redeemed points for my past stays in HK, SG and London. If redeem the points for 5 days consecutive, the 5th night is FREE - making the cost of stay even lower

Just joined Hilton honor programme. Anyone have better ways to boost up point earning in Malaysia? Since there is no credit card cooperate and no extra cash back for purchasing point oversea.

done some calculation, mr convert to honor point is lesser value than convert to airmiles.
too bad, malaysia do not have much promotion on hotel loyalty programme.

Not enough for 2 pax j return, but should be enough for one way j .....and since you already have 60k miles in em, no choice but use em.....
