MAS Enrich Miles is such a con job.

Just tried using my Miles Points to book a ticket to Thailand.

Tix to Bangkok = 17,000 Points
(17,000 Enrich Miles is Equivalent to about RM 300 in voucher terms. ie. Jusco Voucher/MAS voucher/Isetan voucher)

After using Miles to redeem air ticket fare, still need to pay 'Fees + Taxes', which amounts to RM460

So the total cost is 17,000 Points + RM 460


If go MAS website do a normal booking................ same day, same time, same flight...... = RM 414/- sahaja !



MAS Champion !!!

Then MAS did a great job.
The fella that did this plan should be given a Medal.

Gotta pay full-fare only can earn miles.
After earn miles then redeem tix, gotta extra for 'fees & taxes'.
Then the 'Fees & Taxes' is more expensive than online Normal booking.

Might as well just book normal tix.
