Thanks in advance.

Yes US$ 15 per 1000 miles

Then you will need to pay fees on the redemption.

I'd bet that you will end up paying more than buying a revenue ticket.

Mabuhay Miles is a dreadful scheme. Miles are not correctly credited IME 25% of the times. Getting them to correct is futile.

THEN redemption value is abysmal compared tp OneWorld. Fees for redemtion are roughly double OneWorld whilst earn rates are pretty adjacent.

I have 30K in my account (Should be 35!). I doubt if I'll ever use them.
