i'm a peasant, 30k is sufficient, and then manage get temporary CL increase up to 60k

Basically you can get 2 economy ticket for the miles requested for 1 business class.

Wondering if now Krisflyer is a better deal in terms of redemption or not.

Seasonal or not, it's still expensive because we can't redeem it on saver's fare/ticket.

Blardy MAS

With Enrich devaluation on 10 June, there is no changes to Asia Miles.
Just called Asia Miles and the points are still the same. In fact Asia Miles is much cheaper than Enrich

Mel - Kul (Business One Way)
MAS: 55k points
Asia Miles: 45k points

annual income requirement for M2P has been revised frm 150k --> 120k .

The only really premium MBB card left is World Mastercard.

1k upfront AF and waiver only comes with an annual spending of RM 120,000.00

If you are earning RM 120,000.00, this is a hard figure to meet 

Anyone know if we can withdraw the pledged FD? While at the same time keeping the card?

prove your income? Else what is the purpose to plexge in the first place?

If you can show them you earn more than 120k or you are worth more than 120k magically 

US based card has great sign up bonus but as you mentioned the earn rate if M2P is better due to forex. its entirely up to you how you want to play this. ambank has lower charges on foreign currency transactions that I think is worth looking at with slightly worse earn rate than M2P (1 mile to RM1 spending)

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?

hi sifu, previously i pledged FD partially to apply for this card, after 2 years my credit limit had gone up quick a lot and i wish to withdraw the pledged FD amount but remain to hold the card.

Did any sifu here know what is the actual withdrawal process?

thanks

Which means my CL have increase substantially after I pledged the FD, the increase in my CL is higher than my pledged FD amount.

Doesn’t make sense for me to cancel and reapply as I will lost my TP

At the end how do you managed to withdrawal the pledged FD? Cancel and reaply?

Thanks

Didn't realise Melbourne one open already. Thought was delayed. In Sydney I usually enter the amex lounge showing the maybank amex reserve.

no official announcement it's open...but i read somewhere the amex lounge is ready but the ppl is not....they share common utilities (toilets and kitchen)....

but it is listed already in the maybank website....

hi guys, sorry if being asked earlier.

(1) For supplementary cardholder, the tp earned is it will be combined with principal cardholder? Only principal cardholder able to redeem right?

Amex Reserve can enter amex lounge in Aus?

Hi, want to ask:
If regular overseas spending is equivalent to >80k per month, is this Maybank 2 Cards Premier the best? Because of the RM 1 : 5TP?

Or any other cards with better benefits.

I Google'd and discovered that Airbnb has been charging a currency conversion fee of 3% for a few years now despite whatever currency you select DIFFERENT from the pay out currency the Airbnb receives.

I sought out their CS and they confirmed as follows:

"If your currency is different from the currency your host gets paid out in, then there will be an additional 3% currency conversion fee"

So I guess we can't escape this as the card will be charged in MYR but we suffer an additional 3% conversion fee on top of their currency exchange, in my case to Euro

Interesting to know that.

With Airbnb the painful part is the extra 3% they impose on top of credit card issuer charge (2.25 for Visa and 2.5 for Amex - CS informed me today) not forgetting the currency exchange fluctuation. Only good thing to take away is the high rate of points to be collected
