Is Agoda the best? Many times I see there are say credit card promo tie in with Agoda, maybe the listed rate is lower, but ultimately the final price even including the discount is the same as booking.com. I always use booking.com as my go to accommodation aggregator.
*
Nah, don’t use those credit card promo with special landing page. Agoda will just reduce the initial discount, so after the 7% additional “discount” from CC, the final rate doesn’t lower much.

The best deal from Agoda comes from its hidden 10% promo code, which it will have from time to time. This website tracks it well - https://www.travelclassroom.net/eng/agoda-discount-code.html

not really. I always check before going to card landing page price and after card landing page. The price not marked up.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 2 2019, 12:48 AM)
My experience is they marked up but not every time, I will still compare though but there were instances, the price was higher than the official page.
*
They don't necessarily mark up the price. What Agoda cleverly do is they reduce the discount/cashback in the CC landing page, compare to what you will get when you book via normal page

Will still end up with lower rates via CC landing page and promo, but definitely not by 7%

Can the frequent travellers enlighten me on what is Y/J/etc.. class tickets ?

When I pay for foreign websites with option for direct key-in credit card (cc) entry vs PayPal, I think its better to choose cc key-in. PayPal > 70% of the time will charge in MYR. (vs our expectations of foreign currency). Can we check at MB2U whether recent Paypal payment is in what currency ?

It’s just code used by airlines for their seat class

Y - economy
J - business
F - First

There are a lot of other codes as well such as YQ is for fuel surcharge

Hi sifus just got my card, want to know how the extra 4x TP works for MUVI on match day. For example this weekends match is on Sunday, does that mean whatever spending that i make on Sunday will have extra 4x TP if MU wins on that day?

What about the UK date clause?
*
U slightly misunderstood the process. Only spending on Sun (6 Oct) is eligible because the match is played on Sun UK time

For some of the late game, eg Norwich vs MU on 28 Oct 12.30am (MY time), u need to spend on 27th to be entitled for 5x, not 28th

Hi sifus, if I use MUVI to book a maldives resort from its official website. Is that consider overseas transaction?? Can get 5x TP right?
*
Actually very simple 1

1. Any foreign currency payment - is consider ‘overseas’ transaction

2. Payment gateway is overseas. Still will get 5x TP even if pay in Ringgit

For those dining restaurant that has 50%/40% discount, which one you guys recommend the most?

Arthur's Bar & Grill,
Lemon Garden Café,
Shang Palace, Zipangu

Le Meridien KL
Le Meridien Putrajaya
The Westin KL / The Living Room
Sheraton Imperial KL / Essence
Four Points by Sheraton Puchong / The Eatery
Aloft KL Sentral / Nook
Element KL / Trace Restaurant & Bar

There mention "40% off food and non-alcoholic beverages for Premium Cardmembers". My question is M2Premier AMEX consider premium card?

For lemon grass or other restaurant buffet, what is the duration that we can dine in? I saw dinner is 6.30-10.30pm. Can we dine from 6.30 to 10.30pm? Wanna enjoy the environment as much as possible although already full. hahahaha

thanks in advanced. Wanna bring her out for dinner as today is her birthday. But we don't really like seafood.
*
There’s nothing to enjoy in Lemon Garden because it will be packed to the full. Their seafood buffet is very popular as they also offer discounts via eatigo app.

I’ll suggest you go to Arthur Bar and Grill. Ambience there is nicer. Food is good too. More proper for a birthday treat imo

Boost e-wallet 4.5k/month

Ok thanks. Meaning I can start swiping for my airticket redemption

On another note...now I'm stuck waiting for Maybank CS to credit my miles. Made a redemption request last week for 52k Asiamiles, followed by 8k Asiamiles a few day later. My 8k Asiamiles was credited within 2-3 days, but my 52k Asiamiles still not in yet sad.gif

My previous AM redemption was so fast, within 1 day... Maybe you will need to check with CS again.

Already called CS last Saturday after I see my 8k miles was credited damn fast.

Maybe because I made the redemptionr request when HK has national holiday last week sigh

isn't the charge rate similar now?

Most bank terminals can accept Amex. Just depend whether the merchant wants it or not

I have 1 thing to share. my statement for 15/9/19-14/10/19 have 900 MU Win Bonus.
so looking backwards on 14/9/19 i have BP reload of RM300 (That time i havent change my reload Card).
That's the only win MU got between 15/9/19-14/10/19 right?
20/9/19 MU Won against Astana, this is applicable too?
so i got 3x RM300 = 900 Bonus? but why 3x instead of 5x i dunno.

those following leagues all applicable to Man U win?
Europa League
Football League Club
i got it from
https://www.google.com/search?q=man+utd+pre...02_tc;mt;fp;1;;
*
In normal circumstances, 2x will be credited first (as normal transaction), while the remaining 3x will be credited later as MU win bonus. So total 5x

If I am not mistaken, the card includes a travel insurance as long as 100% of the charges is charged using the card.
1. Must I charge fully on visa or amex or it does not matter as long as i charged all the cost using any or both of them?
2. If there is something happen during the travel, does the insurance cover only me or does it cover everyone in the party paid using the card as long as I am travelling together?
3. If not, does the insurance covers the supplementary card holder if the cost is charged via the principle card?
4. How to report or claim for any compensation should anything happen?

thank you. i tried to check for the product disclosure info but could find much info.
*
For ease of mind, get a separate travel insurance instead

Almost all (if not all) of these travel insurance from credit card does not cover hospitalisation and medical expenses.
