anyone have recommendation for credit card for local spend to redeem KF airmiles? Is the UOB Zenith Card not worth it at RM6.40/mile?

QUOTE(knwong @ Jul 3 2024, 05:14 PM) Since we are in Maybank thread - try Amex Krisflyer Plat. Thanks for quick reply....yes, for places that accept AMEX, it is still worth it....RM2.50/mile for local spending RM2/mile for online RM1/mile for SQ/Scoot spend  Just considering places that don't accept AMEX..... I happen to have the SCB PVI which comes up to RM 7/mile, so thinking whether it is worth it to just go to that instead of either 1) continue using MBB 2 Premier but have trouble converting it to airmiles, or 2) try the UOB Zenith Card which has RM 6.40/mile, which aint too far from RM 7/mile.... |

total scam job. The cards still offer the fastest air miles conversion, but the redemption process essentially makes it useless. vrek liked this post

QUOTE(Sitting Duck @ Sep 4 2024, 12:52 PM) Has everyone switched over to KF Amex? You need to be KF member, as your KF account name and number is printed on the front of the card. All points accumulated will be converted to KF and deposited into your KF account every month.Is the RM300 annual fee waived for certain amount spent btw? Does 1 need to be KF member before applying the CC? Thanks. Sitting Duck liked this post

QUOTE(CatchingUp @ Sep 6 2024, 12:28 AM) Just wondering.. since you guys have so much experience with credit cards.. do you think Maybank will reinstate the two Premier cards to their former glory? i.e. can claim Enrich points with less TP, Amex 5x TP etc. Banks are incentivised solely for profits. Unless they suffer a major dip in client base, unlikely for them to reinstate.....even if they do, maybe it will be on a short term promotional basis....I kind of sayang to let go of these two cards. I do have the UOB PremierMiles Elite but don't really like using it after Citi left Msia. Don't really like UOB app and what not. Citibank was simpler and nicer to use. Not keen on moving to other cc. Have applied (and have been approved) for the Maybank KrisFlyer Platinum c.c. But, not sure that is a good move either since I'm from the northern part of the peninsular and most likely won't ever be using SIA. Btw, I was online at 1 Sept, trying to convert my TPs to EM at 12.05 midnite -- but no such luck.  The more you look at it, the mile chasing thing is always going to be at a disadvantage for us consumers....but we just try as much as we can.......... CatchingUp liked this post

Dear sifus, if I were to cancel the MBB Premier 2 cards, any idea if it will be more difficult to me to reapply in future (if the benefits become better)? Assuming I still meet all income requirements etc.
Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 19 2025, 06:57 PM) I have cancelled once and reapplied again with no issue and cancelled again last year. So long I still have other MBB cards, I won’t have any issues of getting them back again. You should apply other MBB cards without AF and keep it first before canceling M2P. Thank you for the advice. |
