I have AUH-KUL booked in EY 332 business class for our return after the CNY week, but just found availability AUH-SIN in EY 789 business suites. Unfortunately it is one day later which means the kids will miss school for 2 whole days which also means the missus probably will veto this...

Argh!

Education for kids more important bro. I'm a man and I will also not agree to miss school for my kids

If I am offered to pay S$3,210 cc annual fee to gain 150,000 KF miles, which is equivalent to S$0.0214 or MYR$0.0642 per miles....

Is that worth it?

It's worth only if you fly first class, business very unlikely. But it's still not cheap

Anyone here is a Hilton Honors member? I need favour in purchasing Hilton Honor Points as I've maxed out mine. There's a promo now. TnC: Your account need to be at least 90 days old to transfer as Gift to me

You earn your CC points by transacting in USD. I earn the matching bonus

Win-win for you and me. If any kind soul willing to take the risk and transact with stranger like me, do PM.

U buying the point for spending at which hotel? Mind to share?

Hilton Garden Inn and Double Tree in either SG, HK and Australia. Want to accumulate for my future travels there

I've already redeemed points for my past stays in HK, SG and London. If redeem the points for 5 days consecutive, the 5th night is FREE - making the cost of stay even lower

But most of the time the cost using point vs cash rate at those hotel is quite similar.....

Except Conrad maldive and Waldorf Astoria maldive , but the cost of boat transfer is astonishing

Points are more flexible, in case of change of plans.

Lol, how much points do you need?

If you are willing transact I'll need the 80k + 80k bonus points

i've 2 mil of TP maybank from visa infinite planning to convert it to Kris Flyer airmiles, appreciate those big brother /sister can share your experience is it worth to convert ? i plan to go europe. is kris flyer under singapore airline? how the quality of this airlines? I never use their service before. thanks.

Which part of Europe do you fancy?

When an airline like Singapore Airline won the title for Best Airline in the world for few years - you shouldn't doubt them you know...

On the other hand, FFP like Enrich and Asia Miles have risk parking your miles with them. Both MAS & Cathay are loss making airlines for years...

For Premier Banking customer, no exception? If your customers are billionaires, as banks I will "bend" the rules a bit

Double your Points. Buy 3,000+ Hilton Honors Points and get 100% more.

Saw this promotion ads from Hilton Honor.
Does it worth to buy HH points and convert into air miles?
*
Buy hotel points, use it for that hotel chain
Buy airline miles, use it for that airline booking or its alliance
Don't convert, not worth

if use to redeem for hotel stay, still worth it?

Do hotel research on places you plan to visit. If there's hotel chain that allow points redemption then you work out the plan to purchase that points. This kind of promo will be very common. This year alone I remember Hilton already 3 times they launch this same 100% promo

I've redeemed Hilton Honors points for my stay in HK, London, SG, Perth and Penang. I've redeemed Marriott Bonvoy at Desaru

Yes you're right, only my AMB is wrong. I didn't update the AMB figure since they revised it AGAIN a few months ago (it was already depreciated once in January this year - previously it was RM1:1 AirMile).
Just apply for the Maybank 2 card premier if you can, and that's all you need. No other card even comes close to the benefits of M2P. There are many ways to get the card even if you're not eligible, such as pledging FD. If you're serious about collecting AirMiles, this is one of the best credit cards in the WORLD (you won't find ratios much better than USD0.25:1 Mile)

Which one is the BEST in the world?
