Maybank treat point promotion. 7420 point to get 2000 air asia big point. Worth taking up?

Ops....ya wor. Yesterday over already. I just read it yesterday, today gone pulak. 

Anyhow, worth to redeem such promo if it happened again?

Ok...then i keep monitor ba. 
You can opt for points+cash purchase.

Why more Asia Miles than Krisflyer? I'm assuming these aren't Maybank Premiere TP?

Upgrading from Y requires you to buy from Y, B, H, K or M fare classes, ie. the more expensive fare classes. Just pulling numbers out of thing air, your options for KL to London might be:

a. RM3k on MH, QR etc
b. RM6-10k for an upgradeable economy fare on CX + 60k for a return J upgrade
c. 120k AM + fees for a full J award redemption

When I poked around ITA matrix, the price for a B fare class KL to London on CX is closer to RM13k which is why I almost always recommend against upgrading using miles, unless someone else is paying the for the flight ticket.

Spend more money, get more points

Now if you can position yourself in Europe one way for cheap, you definitely have the option of doing a one way return in J. AM or KF.

Most airlines would have the same rule ie. no upgrades on the cheapest economy tickets. I know MH would state up front when a fare is not upgradeable. I haven't looked at SQ but I'm guessing they'd be the same.

So in short you'd be stuck paying expensive fares to upgrade.

Don't forget that both CX and SQ now have Premium economy (PEY) so it'll be a two step upgrade. Availability is best on MH, CX and SQ in that order.

In the end you'll have to decide whether or not it's worth it. Or you could also wait for sales and get flights on QR or EY in J for around RM6k to far flung places in Europe that nobody wants to go to, like Munich

I'm actually kind of curious, where does awardnexus get their data? Do they just have crawlers looking at all the different backends? I know that Expertflyer get their data legitimately...

I'm almost tempted of spending time building my own crawler to get a list of available dates on CX
Thanks dctravels, so far my idea of a route would be something like:

CDG/FRA(or any other city in Europe)-HKG/SIN-SYD-TYO-HNL and then an open jaw to leave from JFK back to the city I departed from.

By the way, what happens if I'm a no show for the last leg of my trip?  I might decide to visit south american countries instead of going back to Europe.
One thing you might look at is booking with BA, BA's premium economy is often relatively cheap and last time I did that all premium economy fare classes (W,T,E) were upgradable with Asia miles. It's 30,000 miles to upgrade to J.

One thing to watch out for is that you cannot upgrade a mix carrier trip. So if you book something like CDG-LHR-KUL-LHR-CDG you're fine but if you have a segment going to Penang for example, then you won't be able to upgrade any of the flight since that segment would be on MH.

I've had bad experiences in Economy with QR but in J they are not bad. Service is not as good as SQ or even BA (the QR crew almost always look like they don't really want to be there) but everything else is good.

They do have sometimes very good sales. I bought my parents tickets from Europe to Japan for RM5k/ticket this January
It's return. See https://www.asiamiles.com/am/en/redeem/charts

You do need to have upgrade award availability. At the time I did that, I had set up an alert of ExpertFlyer and booked when I saw that it was available.

I paid 1020 euros  for  CDG -> KUL return in premium economy last year. Not sure about the prices ex-KUL.

It still ends up being cheap for a J seat, That said if you can grab a J seat for RM6k or 7k during a sale with QR or EY, it's a better deal. Especially since QR's J seat are better than the seats from BA (haven't tried EY but I imagine they are good).

I have the same question as well. If thats the case, i guess its worth forgoing the 15% and save on the surcharges and insurance.

Thanks for the head up.
It is so less convenient compare to air asia huh.

I am currently comparing to use credit card point convert to Air Asia or Malaysia Airline air miles. Need to see which is more worth.

I think this is a good problem.

For the first time, I converted Maybank TP to 1,000 AM to activate my AM account.

Instead of 4,770 TP (VI), I only got charge 1,508. No idea how to come out with 1,508.

Is it some kind of first time conversion bonus?

now ambank got give extra 1% cash back and 30% more miles, really worth it 

I would say around a comfortable RM15 - 20k with normal spending.

A nice milestone to achieve, nonetheless. Congrats

anyone here uses airasia big points for flight ticket/hotel redemption? is it worth it?
I would like a comparison with enrich miles. Since the devaluation of enrich, it is not worth to redeem anymore as it seems....

Lego Warfare polis tangkap there..

Yes it is, you have to fit ur legs into the hole unless you get bulkhead seat. Not only A380 but across their entire long haul J seat.

The hole is readily there as an ottoman, even when u rest ur leg there u need to sit in slant, no good for spine.

U need to sleep in slant if u wan ur legs go into the hole

wow, must be platinum membership
