can check in at counter or boarding together with business class

for more benefits, need to hit at least silver status

can let me know if my comparison between ambank world master and citibank premier miles correct?

ambank worldmaster oversea spending
RM1 = 5 Ambonus
5000 Ambonus = 1000 Asiamiles
so RM1 spending is equal to 3 Asiamiles


citibank premiermiles oversea spending
RM2 = 2 premiermiles
1500 Ambonus = 1000 Asiamiles
so RM1 spending is equal to 1.333 Asiamiles

it looks like ambank world master is much better

yup, you are correct. the info i typed is wrong


ambank worldmaster oversea spending
RM1 = 5 Ambonus
5000 Ambonus = 1000 Asiamiles
so RM1 spending is equal to 1 Asiamiles


citibank premiermiles oversea spending
RM3 = 2 premiermiles
1500 Ambonus = 1000 Asiamiles
so RM1 spending is equal to 0.444 Asiamiles


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

sigh.... tried to convert to 1000 Asiamiles from my maybank american express from the 2 cards but didn't get the extra 15% miles.

10k miles could get you a one way flight to hong kong

because my asiamiles account didn't has the extra 15% miles added

is Maybank platinum 2 cards and ambank have the same airmiles conversion rate?

I saw both will get 5x treat points on oversea spending and need 7000 points to convert 1000 asiamiles points

i see, so actually ambank miles conversion become so worst now and comparable to M2 Plat Amex...

just that I can keep ambank WMC to access lounge. Personal trip will use ambank WMC to save the forex exchange fee but company trip will use AMEX

did i did my calculation correctly? Maybank amex get more Airmiles than Ambank now?

Citibank PremierMiles - RM1 for 0.444 AirMiles
RM3 for 2 PremierMiles spent overseas
1500 PremierMiles for 1000 AirMiles

Ambank World Mastercard - RM1 for 0.4 AirMiles
RM1 for 5 AmBonus spent overseas
12500 AmBonus for 1000 AirMiles

Maybank American Express - RM1 for 0.714
RM1 for 5x TreatPoints spent weekdays
7000 TreatPoints for 1000 AirMiles

let me change mine to follow your format. Is there mistake on my side for the citibank premier miles and Ambank World Mastercard? it show different calculation


Citibank PremierMiles - RM2.25 for 1 AirMiles
RM3 for 2 PremierMiles spent overseas
1500 PremierMiles for 1000 AirMiles

Ambank World Mastercard - RM2.5 for 1 AirMiles
RM1 for 5 AmBonus spent overseas
12500 AmBonus for 1000 AirMiles

Maybank American Express - RM1.4 for 1 AirMiles
RM1 for 5x TreatPoints spent weekdays
7000 TreatPoints for 1000 AirMiles

Thanks for the advise, but this Maybank 2 card premier has 2 cards and have to pay for total RM50, maybe i can try to get the visa infinite for oversea spending

i got thought about this but Maybank 2 card premier have to use american express right? AMEX still not that popular in Malaysia, or even asean countries.

I saw Arrture launch of another Smart Traveller Rewards Programme. Is this this the same as the existing Arrture reward?

is this redeem through asiamiles website?

May i know the second visa/master card that come with card also getting 5X points for local and oversea spending with 1:1 miles redemption?

Thank you

bad luck.... got 100k AM but Cathay stop flying to KL and PG now

anyone know if Cathay going to extend the Marco Polo membership status free for one year like others? haven't got chance to fly this year and got 0 club point...

Mine is green.... so if drop mean i lost the marco polo membership and have the pay money to renew...

I saw asiamiles got promotion for extra 10% on miles conversion but only limite to credit card from hong kong and taiwan...
