Asia based miles travel blogs?
I did not find an answer definite to what I'm trying to find so hopefully this is not a repost.
I surf thepointsguy.com, boardingarea blogs, frugal travel guy etc blogs all day. But because I am currently located in Hong Kong none of them really relate to me and the South East Asia region.
Anyone know of any "miles" blogs that are targeted towards the Asia region? Thanks!

Very annoying to see all these credit card offers for the US yet HK credit cards are absolute junk compared to them!

Unfortunately, Asia cannot compared to the US when it comes to churning/earning miles. They earn more miles faster and easier than we do even for my home airline....

Once upon a time CC churns were available in Asia.
I recall some CC in Asia giving 100K for signing up. But that was about a decade ago and you needed to pay the yearly fee which was quite substantial.
But that said, the US airlines have devalued miles real fast.

HK Travel Blog: http://hktravelblog.com/ on occasion has some good Asia specific promotions. Can be hit and miss though.

Some of the material in Australian blogs might be relevant in that it can include the entire Pacific regions.
JALPak focuses on JAL.
Depending on exactly where in Asia you are located and what routes and airlines you fly, you might find some leads on sqtalk.com, a BB focused on SIA and Singapore in general.
