If not allowed, can always buy separately right for KuL - Nrt?

Hi, I would like to ask about Enrich Miles credit card, for those TNB bill, MBPJ,DBKL,MPSJ fees consider as retail transaction? And do I need to register anything first before i get the airmiles ?

They did not request enrich account number from me when I apply for the card, so is it too late to give them the account number? and how to give them?

If principle card holder can use the air miles to purchase flight ticket for others? or only the card holder?

If the proposed miles structure is referring to the maximum fare class  (Economy = Y, Biz = J and etc),  maybe it is still acceptable. I can't imagine if it is referring to the discounted class...

Hello all sifus, just racked up 1million treatpoints after 11 months of using the M2C Gold Card. So, just need your opinion, which ffp to redeem, either Enrich, Krisflyer or Asia Miles? Thank you.

I would have said Enrich but I have no idea the miles required after 10 June devaluation kicks in.

KF saver award availability is challenging, especially for LHR. Ditto for AM unless you redeem close to a year out.

You can play around with dates to get an idea of availability and miles required.

Yes I get that the airmiles conversion is best option but how does the bank know I want to convert to airmiles? Why can't I do it after 1 year? I just don't get why we are forced to convert at the begining of every month. Makes no sense to me lah

When u log into your online banking account, there is a special box for VS airmiles redemption.  Example for VS, 3000 reward points for 1000 EM, other card needs 10000++ reward points for 1000 EM etc.

I din try to redeem big amount of airmiles as my expenses is not high and I do it regularly (every month).

for HSBC VS,

10X reward points on overseas hotel room and dining spend (capped RM2000 per month)
8X reward points at MV and The Gardens Mall (capped RM1500)
5X reward points for airlines, local dining and hotels and 30 plus mall (capped RM1500 together with 8X reward)
1x for other retails

the airmiles exchange is 3000 points for 1000 airmiles (enrich, asia miles and ktisflyer).

Let's say u spend

RM2000 for your oversea hotel stay, u will get 2000*10 = 20,000 reward points, u can convert to about 6000++ miles

For insurance, you pay RM3000 premium, u can convert it to 1000 miles.

Alliance only for Enrich miles.

Spent two days finally finished scrolling from page 1 to page 59. Had a lot of valuable info from the informative input from the members here, you know who you are. You guys are really patient in answering some of the questions that have been asked repeatedly, and the replies given are short but straight to the point, which makes people like me who scrolled from page 1 having an easier time.

Anyway, here comes the question. I'll try to be as specific as possible, so bear with me for the longer post.

How should I accumulate miles (enrich, asia miles or kris flyer) in the fastest way?

I plan to redeem it for biz class seats to Europe (most likely London as it is the main gateway to Europe, but can go to Spain/France as well before going to London. Don't mind Economy seats for flights within Europe, but biz class for long haul) for me and my wife in 4-5 yrs time due to points expiry (i.e. drag till 3 yrs for maybank TP before convert to miles, which can drag for another 3 yrs)

Currently what I do to accumulate miles:

1. I have Maybank 2 cards Platinum, which the good thing is there's no annual fee, bad thing is the treat points conversion to Enrich/Asia Miles is 100% higher than Reserve. So for now whatever spendings that receive Amex, I'll try to charge it to the Amex to take advantage of the 5x points. And currently still not qualified yet to upgrade to Premier/Reserve, but even if I qualify, is it worth it with the hefty annual fee? Is it waivable? It would be hard to spend RM80,000 on it per year to have it waived, as Amex is not that widely accepted.

2. Cards I owned: Ambank Signature Visa (For PPL but seems like not useful anymore due to recent T&C update), Hong Leong Sutera (good for weekend spending for govt bills etc, share more below since I've not seen it being mentioned), Maybank 2 cards Platinum, and a few other basic cards not worth mentioning back in the days I got it when I just started working. Nowadays just leave it there as all of them are free for life. So just taking advantage of the credit limits of those cards.

3. Due to my low frequency of flying, earning miles through flying is not really feasible, plus mostly flying domestic with airasia or MH whichever cheaper and suits my time. So the miles has to come from credit cards and other places.

So what I've learned is that KF doesn't suit me since it is always on wait list and I couldn't really go for a 2-3 weeks holiday without few months of proper planning for my work, and Enrich has been devalued to the extent that it is quite useless, and AM delivers good value just need time on the phone for the booking on multiple carriers flight.

So hope all sifus can give some advice on what I should do to accelerate my miles accrual to redeem two biz class seats to Europe. Thanks in advance.
Note: So regarding the Hong Leong Sutera Platinum Card, their point rewards are not so good except for weekend spending which is x3, which applies to all spending. So normally I will use it to pay those quit rents, assessment, govt bills etc on a Saturday/Sunday since can pay by online and get x3 points. I think there isn't any cards out there that gives more points than this card for govt and utilities bills, insurance etc.

Okay, I completed the Comparison table between EM/KF/AM for some popular destinations:
Frequent Flyer Comparison

All amounts are for return flights, based on the cheapest redemption ticket (Basic on EM, Saver on KF, Standard on AM). No doubt these miles required might not be available when you book due to availability / wishlist issues, but it serves as a good benchmark.
(p.s. I don't have sufficient miles in my AM account that's why I'm unable to check the taxes required for J class redemption)

My conclusions are:
1. EM is good for Economy Class if you want direct flights out from KUL, but only to the rather limited routes it flies to. EM is poor value if you're redeeming Business Class
2. KF & AM is good in that you can fly to many other cities, but the downside (or maybe an upside?) is that there's an additional transit.
3. AM has way higher taxes. (Some of you have mentioned that AM requires less miles than KF, but I don't see too much of a difference, unless perhaps it's because I'm comparing the baseline cheapest redemption amounts?).
4. KF there's potential to redeem their impressive Suites Class & AM you can get Qatar QSuites or JAL Suites.

Those taxes are for business class? Okay i'll fill in my table. Thanks.

1. The figures I searched is slightly different. I see 50k to Dubai, then 35k to Europe on Star Alliance = 85k. Outright redemption on SQ Saver is 76k miles?

2. Yes of course that doesn't make sense. Was just filling in the table for completeness sake.

3. Okay will look at MCA.

If you had to choose, do you prefer KF or AM?

why you say AM generally gives better value and flexbility?

Do you find the taxes in AM way more than KF? or you are happy to pay that eg less miles (cost of accumulating miles) offset the extra tax

from the comparison AM requires the most miles compare to KF.

why you say AM requires less miles?

btw what is MCA?

thanks

any expert on asiamiles here?

need a little bit of help here.

- what are the chances on waitlist on asiamiles

- i noticed that all JAL flight are full from KL no matter which date i chose.

- any other tips redeeming flights flight to japan using asiamiles. it seems osaka is a very hard route to get.

called in managed to get the easiest flight is KUL-HK, but HK - KIX is damn hard to find all jal flights are also full to next year.

is that common for JAL to be so full, as i am checking through BA there are some redemption left.

Not really.
I will say both pros and cons.
Those frequent user (who redeem always) usually have no problem with expiry miles.
However, those travel infrequently, for my case - my mum, will travel on CX once or twice a year, occasionally on my or my dad miles redemption.
With 3 yrs validity, it is sufficient to redeem short distance flight for myself (yes, me not her )
She has no CC (supp) to earn miles, solely by flying.
18 mths is a bit short, let's say 1 year without travel / fly on my redemption ticket / fly with other SA airlines, her miles will be nearly expired.
Of course for the bright side, her miles will never expired if she keep flying CX / earning AM and sufficient to redeem long haul ticket for herself.
