Used to be able to claim miles for 3rd party with tp....when using the online redemption....after they took down that website, going through card centre, cannot convert to 3rd party anymore....

Can I confirm that all overseas transactions, ie denominated in foreign currencies, with the vi will continue to be awarded 5x tps?... irrespective if MCC?

it depends on where the payment is processed....i wouldn't be surprised if it's done in london....so if you have done the transaction between mn to 8am 1 july, it will still be 30 june in london....

It was probably online booking, so depends on processing centre used by Cx....got people still buy tickets at travel agents meh?....

Try wait for promotion....like the 10% extra miles earlier this year....

While it is normally fast, sometimes they are sloppy....and they have effected conversion after promotion ended, and I had to insist they reverse the conversion....

Always wondered why the infinite doesn't support wave...

well....finally their highest tier visa card moves with the time then...

well....it's still the highest ranked card for mere mortals...diamante is by invitation only, and seriously, those with that don't need credit cards....an assistant will be paying their bills...

but yes....was 180k when i joined....now have to share with the hoi polloi...lol

The key is the currency charged in....if in any currency other than myr, it will be 5x....even if spent in msia....

Eg, uber you pay in myr....but the charging currency is actually euro!....and you get 5x....

yes, i am referring to payment gateway sited overseas although the payment is in malaysia and in myr....

like i mentioned, uber payments are processed in the netherlands, although it's transacted after your ride, in myr...and you get 5x points...

well, my 2 rides on Monday:

uber bv nl

uber my aug15 ejiom
help uber.com.nl

If it is denominated in SGD and processed outside Malaysia, it should be 5x....however, I have purchased sq tickets, it's denominated in myr and processed in msia, and only 2x points given...

You would only do this if the purpose for flying is.... well, flying....and enjoying the lounges and services on board...

And yes, people have written trip reports on such journeys on airlines.net....lol

But at the price of needing to spend 80k instead of 50k to get af waiver....

Maybank vi supp not free....

current no condition attached entries is a promotion till end this year...don't know if amb will revert to original conditions next year...

you can see a transaction online, once it is posted....usually 2-4 working days after....

5x points for overseas spend and low conversion rate to enrich, krisflyer and asia miles...they waive annual fee if you spend 50k a year....

but agree, their perks are decimated now, and if you don't anticipate spending 50k on it, just cancel....after 11 months....lol

since they gave to me 4 years ago?...lol

2 card premier waived with 80k...

stand alone vi waived with 50k...

i have never paid af...

Don't have 2premier....just the old single vi....never bothered to convert when they launched the 2premier....not sure I can spend 80k....lol

there are limited local merchants accepting amex....and in any case, the bulk of spending is overseas, so it is the same 5 points....

actually, as it turns out, i would have qualified for waiver the last 2 years...lol
