May I ask
Accor program is by which airlines?

Ya, those day even can access to private banking hall by credit card, no need to deposit 250k to become premier wealth customer

CC benefit keep diluting year by year, dont know when the 5x tp will be cancel or the exchange rate no more 4770-1k

Just do a research on flight from SIN-ICN
found out that Asia Miles Cathay surcharges is much cheaper compare to MAS

SIN-ICN Business class x2

MAS 187,000 Enrich miles + RM1743

Cathay 160,000 Asia miles + HKD1136(RM631)

Asia miles need less miles for redemption and also cheaper surcharges, but Cathay is one stop at HK while MAS is non stop flight.

Look like asia miles had higher value to price ratio

Nope, wrong info
Is KUL-ICN direct flight.

Hi, any Hilton Diamond member here ?
What is the chances upgrade to a executive suite if I book a executive plus room in Hilton Singapore, Orchard.

Anyone here have experience room uograde before in Hilton SG?

Thanks

I have an option to cash out lump sum and pay it back with 12 months installment from my credit card for 1.90% processing fees, however every dollar cash out equivalent to one Krisflyer miles, after doing calculation, one Krisflyer equal to about RM0.057, and lump sum free to use for a year.

Is it a good deal?

Thinking of cash out about 100k and I earn 100k miles
Put that 100k into 3% FD for the first month
90k 3% at the second month, 10k go to monthly repayment
80k 3% at the third month .....etc

The interest pretty much cover back my 1.90% charges

Receive a letter from UOB today
But I have to call them to verify a few thing before I go for it.

Here the mechanism:
1. Fill in the form with amount you need to cash out, must be within your credit limit.
2. Bank will credit the amount to your designated bank account in lump sum, assume 120k
3. First month, the bank will charge 10k + 1.90% processing fees to your credit card
4. 10k each month to your card for the next 11 months.

Every dollar cash out earn you one miles.

I had called and confirmed that this is a one times offer thing and every card member can only apply once.

Just managed to redeemed SIA Business saver SIN-SEOUL return for me and my gf.

However i realized SIN-SEOUL aircraft is Boeing 777-300ER with SIA new business class come with full flat bed but return flight is Airbus A330-300 which is old school business class seat. The different is huge from the picture

Any way to see what is the aircraft for this flight before redeemed?

Realize enrich is not so user friendly compare to krissflyer when you want to check how much miles you need to redempt the flight.

Krissflyer will show you the miles and airport tax amount even though you do not have enough miles at the moment while enrich will block you to select by showing NOT ENOUGH MILES.

i just do a check, required 60k KF for SIN-TPE economy for 2 person

For enrich, the 28.4k is referring to one way for 2 person or one way for 1 person? total miles require for return will be 56.8k for 2 person? how can i check what is cash portion for TAX and airport surcharge on enrich if i do not have enough miles?

Thanks

I have booked SIN-PEK first class suites last year december and the travel date is this month november. one way 53k miles

due to the recent pandemic, i have called SIA today to ask for cancellation and they cancel my redemption and refund my 53k miles back to my account immediately, and refund airport tax back to my credit card.

the customer service mentioned by right there was a USD75 cancellation fees but they have decide to waived it.

thumb up for SIA, really a smooth and straight forward cancellation process.
