Just called CS. the 5000 TP is for all EM/AM/KF. Still can transfer to AM and KF. MBB will be updating the info soon.

As for KF AMEX, all spending up to 1 June will be calculated for double points bonus. But from 1 June util/gov will be excluded. ie if your anniversary date is 30 June, and you have only spend 50k up to 1 June, you will need to spend another 10k to get the bonus but this 10K must not include util/gov. Util/gov spend prior to 1 June will be accepted.

But as always, got to wait the official black and white.

what is the generally feeling about the 5000 TP? Are most people going to convert all TP to AM/KF before 1 June?

That is a definite. I've redeemed 1,161,000 TP to KF before this. Still left 67,000 TP now. Will redeem before 30 May

But I have 4 mil TP, and not sure what ratio to KF / AM.....headache....with devaluation, if don't convert, that's like lost of 400k TP.

Previously i got Platinum 2 Card before have this M2P. But until now i still get hold to the Platinum card nevertheless the SST kick in, since the cashback can easily cashback the Rm50 for me paying TnB + Unifi using amex.

But after 1 June, there is no cashback on utilities and government body. No point keeping this Platinum 2 cards. Currently can think of is using my M2P AMEX to top up Boost and pay Unifi to earn 5x. For TnB bill, using Visa Infinite to top up Bigpay and pay for TNB to earn 2x. Any better way?

Some people mentioned HLB Emirates card if your tnb bill $300k/yr. Get to shower in flight with EK F.

Yes I know....the new cards always follow the old card anniversary....

The question is, when new cards are issued other than the anniversary month, how to calculate when the 1 year fee waiver period is..... conflicting answers from CS and experiences by card holders here...
*
If not mistaken, the new card will have grace period until the old card anniversary month. So if August then new card from now till August not counted. Fee from following August ie 2021.

Just curious, if u are going overseas, better use bigpay or maybank2premier?
*
Depends on how much you value air miles. Some use m2p because the 2.5% (thereabouts) forex charges is lower than their valuation of air miles. Those that value air miles lower tend to use bigpay.

Anything more than 10K certainly m2p wink.gif

The higher the amount I still use BP as long as merchant allow multiple swipes. I will reload BP with bank transfer. The forex/cc fee is substantial using m2p

Redeemed all my TP into AM.

Plan to fly to Eastern Europe. Taking Budapest and a random date, the choices are between

Turkish Airlines (KF) -  92k miles + MYR 861 (layover in Istanbul)
Qatar Airlines (AM) - 70k miles + HKD 2156 or about MYR 1188 (layover in Doha)
*
Assuming miles in $ value, both about the same then. But one is the famed QSuites.
What about availability? Which easier to get?

Well once you are well invested into the miles reward system, i don't think i'd waste the chance to get 1000 miles over a RM50 CB when a merchant accepts Amex. Last time it wasn't that bad since you get 5% CB & 5x TP at the same time.

If merchant only accepts Visa then i might consider using a CB card instead though.

Most people might take the $50 over the 1000 miles.

i just completed the Visa fast track to honors gold.

the gold membership will be valid until 31 March 2021.

Yes, you get it for the year you qualify (ie 2019) and then 1 year (ie 2020), then till end of March the following year (ie march 2021). So it is always better to gain gold/diamond early in the year so you can enjoy up to two years of the benefit.

Where do you guys check your Treatspoints and verify whether the transaction gives 0x or 2x or 5x? Couldn’t seems to find Treatspoints section in mbb app.
*
You have to use the website either the new or classic version. It's under "Reward" section. App doesn't show.
However for 0x, 2x etc you have to track manually.

Hi, is there any way to see each treats point credited transactions?

Unfortunately no. Some pros here in this thread keep an excel spreadsheet to record each transaction and TP changes manually.
