Best use of MH Enrich miles for value?
New to MH and bought the 3X EQM deal NRT-KUL-LHR-KUL-NRT ticket in biz last year. Just flew and now have over 100K miles. Can someone advise a few good ways to get best value? No rush to spend as have plenty with many airlines.

The Enrich redemption rates are dynamic, 100k would be typically good for 2 x Return Econ tickets to North Asia i.e. Hong Kong, Shanghai
Another way to cut it, the way I normally do is put an estimate to the total amount of miles. RM0.03 cent per mile would value 100k miles at around MYR3,000 worth of flights you could possibly redeem.
However do note that redemptions can only be made against higher fare classes i.e. MH Smart Econ Class and D Class above

The Partner award chart (https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/...alliances.html) is not too bad if you are travelling on a return basis though realistically you need at least 125,000 miles to get a semi-decent J class return flight,.
Alternatively you could do one way SIN/DXB in Emirates First Class for 103,000 miles.

Enrich Miles are not redeemable on Emirates First Class?
Before one gets one hopes high, there is a statement in MH partner redemption page as shown below;
"For redemption on Emirates:
Please note that Emirates, Chauffeur-drive service is not applicable for Business Class redemption tickets. Enrich Miles are not redeemable on First Class, only applicable for Economy and Business Class on Emirates."

Look at the cost to buy a mile...~3c usd
Look at the value each mile provides for redemption. Less than ~1c usd.
Not worth buying miles.

Purely from a USD/mile perspective and given that the round trip is ~$7.5k normally (and 8-9k on Emirates), that would be over the generic 2c/mile threshold many consider to be ‘fair value’ (though the threshold is likely much lower now given all the devaluations, especially with Enrich miles).
