Anybody tried converting TP to Krisflyer miles? How is the availability of the tickets? Need to be put on waitlist?

I’ve always converted to Asiamiles and use it on Oneworld so never tried Singapore Airlines before
*
Convert to KF is fast. Typically 1 business day for me

But ticket availability is limited. Hate SQ Waitlist system

Wow this is game-changing. If this is true, it means we can wait til 1-2am in Malaysia, and then charges our card for 5x if it happens, rather than making a "bet" whether do we get x2 or x5 before 12 midnight.

I see, thanks

If Arsenal one is 12.30am, we can know the match results before transacting right? Since the game will end by our Sunday afternoon time

Oh wait you are giving the Malaysian time... ok nvm so no chance to have confirmed bonus

I share the exact same sentiment but trying telling that to my wife... I truly believe it is the peer pressure from all the Instagram moms posting how cool their European holidays were but little did they share the sheer agony and pain of lugging the young kids halfway across the world.

Do the unthinkable. Leave your wife and kids behind. Travel on your own. Or with your best buddies

Guys, I have one question.

Instead of accumulate the point for one First class flight ticket,
why not redeem for multiple times economy class flight ticket?

Any comment?
*
Short haul flight just buy budget airlines. Don't waste your air miles

Long haul flights redeem Business or First class using your air miles

Boost limited to 1 topup per day now?
Attempted 2nd reload, get sms for irregular activity warning, all cc in Boost removed.

Is this related to recent complaint by some abc blogger?

Like they told me, starting 20th Jan this year no transfer of points to other cards. Unless someone successfully done that after this date, I’ll go back and whack them

My VI TP was automatically transferred to MU VI because Maybank auto cancel my VI - without informing me

Just received the Rimowa for last year's Competition. It took a while to receive though. Maybank sure knows how to rewards their members. smile.gif

Congrats. Why is it not the iconic aluminum type case?

Surely it's bought cheaply in a bulk from Rimowa. The iconic version should reserve for even higher spending.

Sigh... To common the plastic design.

Wow. I have never written a cheque in my life! Didn't realise that they were a common mode of transacting.
*
The last I wrote a cheque was back in UK when I was studying there more than 10 years ago - to pay for school fee or something. Back then UK banks issue cheque books for whoever that opens account. Nowadays not sure

Back then I was in awe when the debit card that they issued to me is already PIN and Pay feature - so advance rclxm9.gif (as M'sia bankst still doesn't have this feature) YET to the cheque mode is so old school doh.gif

I was just over the phone with MBB CS. Wanted to redeem TP to KF. Why the redemption is 4500 TP = 1000 KF?

Not 4770 TP = 1000 KF as per website?

Should just update the website accordingly

They have many to do list - the eatery places with discount is outdated also

No choice.  Bought flights this morning on Singapore airlines, which were denominated in SGD.

Was debating whether I should use Amex Reserve (to get guaranteed 5x TP, but pay high forex conversion charges), or load BP with MUVI (taking gamble to get 2x or 5x) and pay using BP to enjoy lower forex rate.  Ended up choosing the latter and now at the mercy of MU.

SQ website allow payment using BP? I tried few oversea websites it returned some 3D error
