thanks for the clarification.
You need $5,000 in any phase *you want to earn extra miles under the promotion in*. You can't spend $5,000 in last phase and $10 in this phase and expect to earn $5/mile in this phase on the $10.
8,000 *extra* miles
Overseas earn (Prestige and Premiermiles): $2/mile total = $4/mile normal + $4/mile extra
Max spend = $5,000 + 8,000x4 = 5,000 + 32,000 = $37,000
Local earn (Premiermiles): $5/mile total = $8/mile normal + $13.33/mile extra
Max spend = 5,000 + 8,000x13.33 = 5,000 + 106,666.67 = $111,666.67
Local earn (Prestige): $5/mile total = $6/mile normal + $30/mile extra
Max spend = 5,000 + 8,000x30 = 5,000 + 240,000 = $245,000

No RC component...so no AM/KF/Avios...
And the cash rebate is limited to $75 for the first half week (26-30/6). Perhaps seeing Bankcomm is lowballing, HSBC decided it can do the same also!

$0.12/mile, plus a spend requirement. I personally won't do it.
But I think there're some of you here who want to buy miles at $0.12 (psychiatrist with SCB), so I post it FYI.

Just a quick question - this DBS promo seems to require registration athttp://treats.hk.dbs.com. Is there a way I can telephone and register (as I do not have any PIN and am not in HK? Also, is there a deadline for registration? Thank you.

Hey Percy,
I just cut my Green CX AE. Because they refuse to give me the CX Elite AE, i do have a AE Plat Credit Card. so I am think if I apply a new CX Elite, do you think they will waive the annual fee for CX Elite Card due to my AE Plat Credit Card?

Seems like none of the CCB cards have attractive welcome offers? Is it too late to sign up?

(Corrected 1:19PM 1/7)
Pay 32,000 (x 1.035 handing charge) - get 132.48RC or 1,987.2 miles (can be Avios or KF as well as AM if Premier)
1,120 / (12,133 + 1,987.2) = $0.0793 or just under 8 cents a mile. Can't buy that.
