Called MPO again today regarding my South American flights .... on hold for 45 minutes (called around 2am HK time).
Zungfu does only accpet the first 80K payment by credit card

. I have to pay the other half by cheque.
It is really a pain to call Asia Miles without a status,you might try some off-peak time like early morning (0700-0730??).
I try to call to MPO during the office hour,so I have never spent more than 5sec to speak to the CSOs after being a DM.
