Now every discussion abt this thread is big pay and top up, and they will spend the money in big pay? Maybe one out of ten, 9 of them will just cash out . Will see how long can it last

I guess I am the 1 out of 10...I have zero cash out. biggrin.gif bangwall.gif

For sure. Maybank is quite popular but even among my business folks who spends more than me, they prefer using HSBC or OCBC. So I'm thankful not everyone uses Maybank.

Why they like HSBC or OCBC?

Somehow the service of private banking of international banks are better than local banks. Plus the variety of investment products are diverse. When they are overseas, transferring of funds is easier with the help of a local branch to handle property sale or business transactions.

Fair enough but they dun have to use their cards ...

I tried  asking them to change to M2P but they don’t seem interested. At their level they can afford to fly first class and prefer to stick to the same bank and maintain the banking relationships. Very proud about their RM on call anytime even if want to withdraw cash.

Anyway, less of such big whales better for us to get more goodies from maybank  biggrin.gif

Oh... fly first class ... guess they are not bothered then... some people are conscious of using local bank cards too...u r very high spender yourself .. but you are still happy of getting a Rimowa bag.. ha ha.... different strokes for different folks

When the redemption is low, the price is also cheap, so sometimes it isn't worth redemption.... especially y class....

NRT j return for 100k is not cheap, just 3 years ago you can get j return to LHR for 93k....

I never wait list with sq, they have multiple flights, so choose one that's available....it's an additional stop, but needs the same miles as from SIN, ie KL (or any Msia point) - sin is free....and I use the stop over as a free holiday in Singapore....either long layover, or the free stopover for 1 or 2 nights....meet friends, relatives, eat etc....
*
When you redeem, say KUL to LHR ,and book it online, how do you arrange for a 2 day stop over at Singapore? Can u use multi-city when redeeming online? talking about SQ....

There is an add stopover option when u search the seats, scroll all the way down. Free If u redeem RT, else $100

Or, u can call the KF singapore number
*
Oh ok, thx, I am using AM and as far as I know, AM and Enrich dun have such options (unless call them)... maybe I didn't explore enough...smile.gif

Do you mean you intend to fly KL - Sg - HK - LHR?
Not impossible but you need to call and book
May need to pay extra for KL-Sg leg

Also can look into KL - Sg - LHR (with BA)
Better use AM rather than Enrich.
Again, they may charge you extra for KL-Sg

Nevertheless using KF will be more straight forward.
*
It was just an example. I wasn't aware the KF site can allow add stopover when redeeming ... i thought all stopover/multicity must call the help centre ...so far I only use Enrich and AM to book online straight forward return flights with no overnight stop over... I wish to explore the stopover option

Booking sq with kf, you have a stopover option if you book saver return, or advantage one way....it can be seen at the bottom of the page....

Accommodation is expensive in Singapore, so we usually do a long transit.....go on morning flight, connect a midnight flight, so have up to 12hrs.....bags checked through.... hand carry we leave in left luggage, get out, take the mrt downtown...shop, meet friends or bil for dinner.....then back to Changi, go ppl for shower, supper, then board long haul.....

Sometimes we will spend a night or 2, can do more things....but even simple tiny rooms downtown are now more than sgd100.....

Alright! Thx! Long layover is a good idea ..

Just wanted to share that today I tried to cancel off my M2Premier cards because I am offered CIMB WEMC. So I called the Customer Service and have my M2Premier cards cancelled. According to them, my points cannot be transferred to another cards which I am holding e.g. M2Platinum. All TP must be redeemed before cancellation and if I have any installments, the installments have to be settled.

It's new ruling though, since 20th Jan 2019. Last year, we still can transfer off our points away.
*
CIMB WEMC good meh? Like nothing much also....why cancel M2P??? Some more annual fee 1.2k(waive if spend above RM1mil!!!)..less miles, dining 20%...maybe access to Golden lounge?

Okok thanks. never bothered checking statement as I just assumed it's correct and all auto-generated. but at least I understand it more now.
I just got MUVI last month, will check that too (btw, those that do what's your strategy? I think I'll top up to BP 5k tmrw, and another 5k for the Everton game as it's an early game)

Tomorrow got match to top up?

The premier line will pick up your call in 1-2 ringer tone, and often follow up is made within 30 mins

By far most pleasant Cs call I have, Even foreigner bank can't compete with them.

Yes, have to say Maybank CS has been consistently courteous and efficient. Much better than other banks where you either can’t get through, got put on hold or customer service outsourced to Timbuktu....the slang is funny ...
