Can Card centre in Gardens to process card application and get the card within a day?

Yup i did that and got it within 2 hours.

Not worth redeeming MAS. SQ's Business to Japan is only 80k round trip (not yet -15% discount).

May I know how far in advance you booked to get at least 2 return tickets?

I just booked an Airbnb using my visa, its charged in RM. Do i get 5x TP considering it's an overseas company?

About 3 months to fly date. Returning pair was confirmed. Going pair was waitlisted & eventually released to me for confirmation.

None of them. Avios owns this category by a longshot (but not convertible from Treats), and Krisflyer is the runner up if you can deal with the fuel surcharges.
Enrich is trash (availability has dried up severely) and AM for non-CX is relatively hard to redeem regionally vs KF on SQ.

You get way better yields with AM and KF on longhaul.

ba has little presence in this region, so redemptions will have to be on partner airlines....how is it done?....can do online, or need to call ba....?

if not mistaken..u will get it..
airbnb using oversea gateway..

on the other hand, enrich redemption to japan requires minimal cash upfront, whereas kf jq is crazy....

still undecided whether to take advantage of the 10% bonus miles...

i know uber charges in myr but processing was done overseas, and i was given 5 points....

i also just booked an airbnb...lets see when the statement comes....

Any idea if book agoda online?

yes..someone reported before..
agoda will get 5x TP

ost redemptions on partner airlines can be done on their website. I've tried QR/UL/MH/CX. I find BAEC offering very good value for short haul redemption. For example, HKG-TPE is only 9000 avios + ~RM90

It would be great if you could post the exact surcharge for Enrich vs KF for the Japan route together with the miles and see which is better... I don't have KF account ...thanks

consider japan airlines, 80k return on their 787-9 and relatively reasonable surcharge but problem is we cant book direct as M2Premier does not allow to transfer.

Have to rely on hopeless enrich

dctravels just did it.....japan is unusual for enrich due to the lack of jq charges....the same does not apply to other routes, so in most instances, kf is going to come out better....

I will argue Enrich comes out worse even for Japan flights. 110k miles vs 68k miles. Those miles are worth a lot more than RM200++ which is how much more your cash outlay would cost you if you redeem SIN-NRT return (Option 3 above). Yes, you need to pay for the LCC positioning flight but let's face it. SQ J is a world class product. MH J?

but their long haul is no better than the others....
