by putting the 10k into FD at 3% rate, withdrawing partial to pay monthly BT, can get back ~RM87 throughout the 6 months BT period, save half the cost of RM150 charged by honda

And alleviates cash flow issues, if that is important to you.

To convert treat points to enrich miles, must the treat points be under the reserve card, or can I also transfer my treat ponts from my platinum card to this reserve card to get the special rate of 1000 enrich = 4770 treat points?

From T&C, answer is NO
But......sometimes technical and human factors.......answer can be YES.

Used to be easy to do this but now it depends on the CS.

i didn't know they will allow such transfer as a routine....the only time they did this for me was when they upgraded my platinum card to the infinite....they transferred all my points over....

For those converting TP to KF, I recently came to know that that SQ doesn't impose ridiculous high YQ ex-MNL, so that makes it extremely worth it for med to long-haul redemptions if you're willing to take a short repositioning flight (KUL-MNL on AK is ~RM300 o/w).

Example: combined with the ridiculously low (mistake?) pricing in J to Africa, ME and Turkey, it opens up possibilities like flying to JNB on SQ's brand new A350s, for only 38k miles + $15! Not bad for a 10 hour flight plus access to Changi's lounges. Similarly you can fly to IST (11hours) which will basically get you into Europe.



I hope someone finds this useful!

that is really cheap!!

and not only JNB, i tried with London and it's 68k KF + USD15!!

how easy to book at this rate?
i saw alot of people saying SQ saver tier rate always need to waitlist

I guess it depends where, JNB and IST seems easy but my random try on Melb was all waitlist as usual.

Yeah unfortunately popular routes will most likely be waitlist at saver level, if available at all. SIN-FRA-JFK hasn't been available forever due to certain popular "bloggers"

My trial bookings with kf redemption to destinations I want always yield waitlist. In that sense, kf is useless. Enrich always can get confirmed seats.

Have no reason to go to ist or jnb

what are the interesting places worth booking with enrich?
most of them are useless these days with the amount of miles/taxes.

somewhere air asia doesn't fly?

most international destinations like the US and europe are also missing.

I think is Japan.......lowest airport tax, return is about RM200, even lower than Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They were going to make a big announcement today on enrich promo? No news yet?

Japan must have a policy on surcharges on fares...so mas cannot add their exorbitant fuel surcharge....

With crudes and fuel so cheap, I don't know how mas justify their surcharges...

One word: product.

last few days, i want to book MAS from HKG to PEN, enrich miles cost 45000em plus tax HKD 600++. After that I check OW CX.......end up with I booked CX from HKG to SIN em 33K plus HKD 200++ and bought another ticket from SIN to PEN

some more MAS using 737....... and CX using A350 or 777

Also I wouldn't go so far as to call Krisfyler useless. Yes it is annoying that there's high % of waitlist to popular destinations and high YQ/taxes. I think most people are aware of KF's popularity and adjusts expectations. Krisflyer's award pricing for both SQ and Star Alliance partners actually really reasonable compared to AsiaMiles or Enrich (daylight robbery) which adds to limited availability and SQ already releases extra inventory to KrisFlyer members and outright blocks programs such as United's.

Instead of just aiming for the usual London, Paris, Milan all the time, maybe can consider Manchester, Dusseldorf or Zurich, which they all fly direct to. Or closer to home, Fukuoka, Nagoya instead of Tokyo; Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra instead of MEL and SYD.

The reason why Enrich availability is so high (on MH only) is that as long as there's an available seat, it's up for redemption. Which is also why the amount of miles required is significantly higher than that of competitors'. Then you might as well redeem highly available Standard level awards from KF/SQ.

Wow, when did u try? From where to London? I juz tried from Spore to London & it's SGD200+ tax/surcharge.
