I have just booked 2 Airbnb in Australia and was quoted in AUD, it's a pay upfront booking, so payment made with Msian CC, charged in AUD to the CC....

No conversion to MYR by Airbnb...

No necessarily....while all the airside lounges by default means you are travelling and have a boarding pass, the 2 (3) landside lounges at KLIA2 allow card holders not traveling to enter...just show your ic for identification....

That is correct....

When they used to have an online site for redemption, you can choose to redeem to another person's enrich account....but after they removed that online redemption, you can only do via branches or call centre, and only to yourself....

But you can redeem tickets for anyone with enrich....just severely devalued....used to get j return to LHR with just 90+k miles....now y also needs 100k miles....

No, the redemption miles needed is the same for anyone....just the whole enrich frequent flyer system is now not worth as much as the past, due to the devaluation of what a mile is worth, and the move to tie miles to cost of tickets, rather than distance of sectors....

I redeemed a few return j tickets to LHR in the past, using just 90+k miles each, when they have a 15% discount for online redemption....a random check now shows more than 200k miles needed....and for y class, 80k miles....

Asia miles are also proposing change to cost based rather than sector/miles based system...

And all airlines are trying to devalue their miles....sq just did a change, with a marginal devaluation....

The good days are going....

Hmm... obviously they failed to note that it was a supplementary card.... interesting potential loophole....lol

No change to miles conversion...

Already checked....no change....

They will usually give prior notice if they change....

Call the service centre....

all foreign currency transactions, or transactions conducted overseas, even if in myr, are given 5 points...

That is not my experience....fees paid for Australian universities in AUD were taken as foreign transactions and awarded 5 points....

Last payment march this year...

Online

The merchant code will NOT be that used for Malaysian education establishment, as that is a local designation....it will show up simply as a foreign currency transaction overseas....

Two information will be captured.... merchant category....and currency/site of transaction.... obviously the currency/site of transaction trump's the merchant category....

The points will obviously be determined by how much money the bank makes from the transaction.... obviously, there is an arrangement with educational establishments in Malaysia for a lower transaction charge....and hence the bank decides to award only 1 point....

Maybank makes a lot of money from foreign currency transactions, with the exchange being about 2% over visa rates....so there will is no need to reduce points....

The "gst" value of Maybank treats points is 0.2sen....so 5 points means 1 sen "rebate"....ie 1% rebate from myr transaction value....

That hasn't taken into account the transaction fee visa and banks charge.....

The fact remains, you will get 5 points.... irrespective of what the sc staffs say....just trying to explain the facts....

Why do you all think Maybank decided to reduce some spendings to 1point from the previous 2/5?....if you can see why, you will understand how they have configured this exception.....

i am not aware you can see specific points awarded in m2u....

you will only know the points after you view/download the statement....and even then, you wouldn't know which transaction got what points, just the total points you get, and the extra points if overseas/fc spends....

They allow this one off, on migration from a lower card to the premium card....did the same also when I migrated from classic (yes, from a long time ago, never bothered to "upgrade") to vi.....

Although it's not reflected in the Maybank website, the ppl at aerotel now accepts their visa infinite card....

Enrich actually allows transfer of miles to family members, but at a significant cost....not worth it....(just like their silly buy miles promotion)...

QF allows such transfers free, and is useful when family members have small collections of miles and want to group under one account do full redemption can be made....
