For the Bankcomm promotion, is it 5000 points per Octopus AAVS registered? So if I sign both my Octopus card and my wife's, I will receive 10,000 points?
Also, if I do a withdrawal of $500 per time, that will also allow me for double points as it's over $300HKD, correct?
Thanks!

our credit card (based on each Octopus serial number)." Confirmed by milesbuzz's reward (2 cards, 2 5,000 pt rewards).
$500 - yes. My first $500 recharge was made on 9 Nov, posted on 10 Nov. 500 points posted yesterday, 500 today.

Time published an article about 'The Best Low-Interest and Airline Miles Credit Cards' it's for US based FTers but it's still interesting to read.

$2/mile, better than SCB. Hmmm I'll take this instead of Fubon when I head off overseas tomorrow.

I remember reading some place that autopay transactions don't earn DBS$ i.e. Asia Miles on DBS (Black) Credit Cards. Is that true or not? In particular, do I earn DBS$ for the autopay transactions of my cellphone bill (Hutchison 3)?

Autopay payment to 3HK via (signed) Direct Debit Authority): Yes, miles earned for $6 payment each ($250 spend at 3HK = 2 DB$. 48 DB$ = 1,000 miles).

As of now until Dec 31st, 2011 Bankcomm rate of AM is $8 per 1AM. Does anyone know what the rate will be like after Dec 31st and will there be a possible extension?

You have to compare apples with apples. If you wish to compare absolute earn rates, Moneyback's $10/mile doesn't beat your AY earn rate of $0.47/mile http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...iamond.html#10 .
