Must register by Jan 31st if you want miles, otherwise you get Dining by default. Bonus points start from Feb 9th.
I didn't get this. But from what I can see on their Web site, there's only one choice if you want to get Asiamiles: the $2 per mile Dining default option doesn't qualify for Asiamiles (looks like a sneaky way to get more people off the Asiamiles option):

However the $5 per mile option looks good. I'm sure percysmith can offer some more expert advice, but it looks like it includes bill payments for utilities etc. which presumably means BEA now be a better option than Fubon for some bill payments? (On the other hand, no use for overseas--since they're cancelling the double points from February)
