100K KF miles for RM525 is a definitely go for me. Once u have verified the details, can share back with us? I'm interested too. Thanks

U can only continue to get from them. The promo code is unique and can only be used once.

I'm not familiar with ambank. But Ask them to transfer u to MasterCard concierge, as this promo is offered by MasterCard. U have much better chance than speaking to bank cso which in your case has no clue about it.

To my knowledge, u can only be upgraded once.

It's indeed targeted. I don't see mine on dashboard and so have many reported in other forum

Yes. Watching very closely. Some very active discussions are going on at FT I'm for one is excited that there is a competition

I'm also waiting to be guided ... Haha

Just gotta chime in on this. My Marriott account was registered even earlier. Only have had one activity since I clocked it in 2010 and it has been in cold storage since lol.

My last stay as SPG gold at Sheraton HK scored me an upgrade to a corner room with better view, although I was being told by many people that upgrading to enhanced room was not quite possible at this busy hotel. I must admit that I had to push for it a little, just a little :-)

It says they don't anticipate changes to the SPG program till 2018. Meanwhile , enjoy till it lasts I guess, at least that's what I will do

Oh, do u like Hilton? Have u tried matching to hhnors to give u a bit of the extra run where possible?

Unheard of.

From which country please?

Anyone got the 50% discount to buy SPG points ? If so, r u buying?

I have the 50%. Likely will be making the purchase.

For Hilton, there was a similar sales few months back, it was fantastic. Will be participating this round again. Hilton is having some serious competitive offers in promoting booking through apps, including triple points and 5000 points for paying with visa (per stay). Couple with the 40% sales, time to do some serious planning

It will cost USD 525 for 30K points, with the 50% discount. Yes, it's 1 to 1 conversion to most airlines and they have a lot of partner airlines to transfer to 👍. For every 20K points conversion, u get an additional 25%, making it 25K miles. Can only buy maximum 30K points per calendar year per account for yourself , and/or gift to others. Example, You can buy 30K for yourself , and also gift to others at max 30K per account as well.

Still new to the MR travel package (includes flight and one week hotel stay) and apparently , this seems to be a very popular scheme that MR members have been partaking. Since u run the blog, maybe we can tap on your knowledge to analyze it and share your findings with us from local stand point on how we can leverage in our context.

Btw, 1 starpoints converts to 3 MR points. There are just so many options that the starpoints can be put to good use. Therefore, I have purchased the max 30K.

Yep, one way I looked at it was to compare the card annual fee in exchange for miles. I have always paid for the AF for miles. They are comparable for sure, with the 50% discount, which is the highest I have ever observed. And this accelerates my collection a few times faster. Yes, I purchased more by gifting to family members, some of which will be transferred back to me eventually. SPG allows free transfer between family of same household address. I have heard so many good things about JAL and will try to see how to make such redemption feasible because they are airline partner with SPG.

R u referring to altitude card that you forgo? If it's not too long ago, maybe can inquire if they could reinstate the points and charge u AF?

If u have WWMC, definitely that will be first choice if u have not exceeded monthly limit for x10 pts . If not, 2card premier would be next in line. You may have other better cards which I may have no access / knowledge of, though

DBS WWMC. There are two versions. Get the world MC version. Since u r existing DBS customer , this is a must have despite its sexist brand lol. And u can apply through ibanking. Very easy and efficient.

What's the damage?

My waitlist for SQ suite to go down under has just been cleared and confirmed. Equally excited too!
