Hi all, looking for suggestion for credit cards with excellent miles earning potential.

Currently have Maybankard 2 Premier credit cards + AMEX Platinum Metal Charge Card.

Need cards with excellent conversion ratio to frequent flier miles. Any bank will do, if need to be Priority or Premier with the bank to get the card also don't mind. Most expenditure on flight tickets and hotel stays.

On kind of the same boat as you - what card did you end up getting as backup?

Not waivable. Well, take it as buying for the air miles.

Receive 66,666 air miles (or UNIRM300,000) after payment of annual fee

Care to share the criteria for getting the UOB VI Metal card?

They have already listed. But if worst case scenario, you got plenty of cash but not the annual income, can top up another 2M and make it into private banking, with MYR 5M AUM,  am very sure your relationship manager can make it happens

Understood. Looks like the regular UOB VI also provides 8X UNIRM Points for every RM1 overseas foreign currency spend. On top of that, redemption rate for air miles remains the same, at 1,000 AM/EM/KF Miles for every 4,500 UNIRM Points. So looks like as far as rates for points and miles are concerned, UOB VI non-metal and metal is the same?

It is CIMB TWE at the moment.

Only until end of the year while the 10x bonus points still remain, right?

Yes still 6 months down the road. Sufficient time to earn all the bonus points.

True. I've decided to put in my application for it. Will see how I decide to churn points between this and my Amex Plat. The downside to this is no Krisflyer but KF has been so hard to redeem anything lately, I might be better off stashing some points elsewhere anyway. Maybe can utilize some of the FFPs that we didn't have a chance to try with MBB cards.
