I noticed that the Wiki hadn't been updated for a while. I've gone through and reviewed the two that I know (HSBC cards & Citi Premier), updating expiry dates where applicable.

Could those who know the other cards have a look at them? There are some offer expiry dates now past, so either a new expiry date is needed or the offer should be deleted.

SCB Asia Miles = 55,417 miles at $3.61 / mile
DBS Black = 44,000 miles at $4.55 / mile
BEA Flyer = 49,000 miles at $4.08 / mile

Could I ask how it is that the rates you set out are better than those in the wiki above? Thank you.

These are based on current welcome offers for those cards:

SCB Asia Miles = 55,417 miles at $3.61 / mile --> 15k miles (at $0.5/mile) on the first $7,500, 25k miles (at $4/mile) on the next $100k, $6/mile on the rest
DBS Black = 44,000 miles at $4.55 / mile --> 5k miles (at $1/mile) on the first $5,000, 39k miles (at $5/mile) on the remaining $195k
BEA Flyer = 49,000 miles at $4.08 / mile --> 10.8k miles (at $0.83/mile) on the first $9,000, 38.2k miles (at $5/mile) on the remaining $191k

Wow - so you currently have no SCB, DBS, or BEA card?

I currently don't hold SCB or BEA (but did over 12 months ago, so can re-apply and enjoy the welcome offers again), and my wife doesn't hold DBS.

Can anyone who have transferred points from CCB to Asia Miles confirm if the ridiculous 4-6 week estimated transfer time is accurate?

Haven't transferred any for a while so may not be entirely up to date, but my previous experience on numerous occasions was that--almost regardless of which day I initiated the transfer--the miles would arrive in my Asiamiles account on the following Monday evening (unless perhaps I initiated the transfer on Friday/Saturday, which may have been too late to catch the following Monday's batch).

I initiated the transfer on 2 June, so definitely seems like the process is held up somehow. Will give them a call to investigate. Thanks!

Yep, something definitely seems to have gone wrong in that case.

Thanks Percy -- perhaps it is the first transfer that takes some time as they need to establish the link to my AM account?

Have your points been deducted on the CCB side?
