Good evening guys.

Realistically speaking, is there any chance of getting 2 savers NEW suite tickets at the same time for popular EUROPEAN routes? (Besides from the recent additional flights for July and August 2020)

The one that I heard before was one saver and one advantage.

For old suites, 2saver tickets are possible I think.

Thanks

Possible but chances very slim.

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.

thanks for the feedback, agree - I travel a lot and a couple of times when I want to charge my purchase around midnight the Maybank issued cards failed me. I intend to have one or two more cards from other banks as back up.

Somemore MBB implemented the 2 million airmiles capping, I use more than that.

citi prestige is actually pretty good card, but on my POV, it is only quite worthy if you have more than 10 years relationship with citibank, and being citigold customer... 40% is quite an extensive points per ringgit...
given that, you get
- evergreen points
- extra 40% per ringgit
- extra 250k free points on annual spend of 240k
- free extra night stay privilege

what makes it looks more worthy is that now having promo if you being citigold + get citi prestige card, gets 750k points welcome gift

this is the campaign

I don't have 10 years relationship with Citibank on my own regrettably. For airmiles, is the Prestige better than Premilermiles?

Hi, may i know what do you mean about below sentence ?
" Somemore MBB implemented the 2 million airmiles capping, I use more than that. "

All the while, i'm using maybank card 2 card, I'm use the Amex. So, each ringgit i spend will earn me 5 treats point. Currently, i already have 5mil treat points. and plan to convert into krisflyer mile.

Since 1/8/2019, a Maybank customer can redeem a maximum of 2 million air miles per calendar year (regardless via Treatspoints / Membership Rewards). Your 5mil treat points should be fine.

Currently have Maybank 2 cards premier and Amex Plat Charge Card.

Looking to replace my Maybank 2 card premier since they have revised the Amex reserve points earning for local spend Dec onwards..

Use my card primarily for local retail spend / overseas spend during travels and buying of flight tickets / hotel booking etc etc

Keen to convert to CX Asiamiles / SQ Krisflyer / EK Skywards.

Based on these criteria, which other travel credits are highly recommended?

Thinking HLB Emirates World Elite / CIMB TWE / UOB elite privimiles / SCB journey.

What do you think?

CIMB TWE cannot convert miles to KF. This table is for KF only.

Just realized this, thanks for highlighting!
