Then would it be more worth it if we spend on their Platinum card instead? I saw their conversion rate is 500 rewards points to 1000 miles. So 260 + 20 points per $100 spend is 560 miles. 5.6 miles per $1.
But I believe the conversion fee of $15 is separate from that of the travel card. |
During the mid year promo, I need to check my overseas spending amount in SGD before I can send the sms, not sure if its the same this time.

I got this email last night too. There is also a minimum $5k minimum spend per quarter required to keep the benefits. This may even be "travel" spend, but u didn't go too deep into the fine print. Still not a bad deal for the 45k initial miles.

I remember telling the hotel staff specifically that I want to be billed in RMB, and they assured me that it would be so and gave me (what I thought was) a funny look about my request. I guess it's auto DCC after the transaction went through and the staff have no idea about it at all. Given that it's an international chain like IHG, you might have better luck with having them sort it out than waiting on the banks. |

The last time this happened to me, I wrote to the hotel manager instead (I think his email was on the invoice) and complained. Within the same day, they reversed the DCC'ed charge and charged again in RMB. This was the Hilton in Beijing. I do have status with Hilton but I doubt that mattered.

I did not receive this email although I'm also Asia miles member. Probably not under the invited segment. Is there a link to go to indicate interest or accept the invitation? Can someone share this link? I would like to sign up but the public offer currently is just 30k miles...

One thing I don't quite understand...
ANZ Mid Year 2013 promo awards for minimum S$100 spend 260 bonus Rewards Points or 1,050 bonus Travel$, which can be used to redeem S$5 Cash Credit. ANZ Xmas 2013 promo instead awards 260 bonus Rewards Points or 275 bonus Travel$, which can be used to redeem S$5 Cash Credit. Implying, S$5 was equivalent to 1,050 miles previously... but now only 275 miles (based on 1 Travel$ = 1 mile) What's the logic? |

All will get even if you SMS on 31 Dec 2013. My last SMS for the mid-year promo was on 29 June 2013 and all my 11 SMSes were awarded 1050 bonus miles each. |
So, I was looking through the HSBC Visa Infinite card benefits to try and justify whether to keep it for next year, and came across this one. What's the catch? If one was a whiskey drinker and lived within walking distance, one could drink more than the annual fee's worth of whiskey :D

I took the plunge and subscribed to the card today. Anyone wants a supplementary card with $0 credit limit and willing to share my annual fee - just to drink a year's worth of whiskey? :p

Regarding the ANZ promo, even if I spend more than $100 per receipt (ie. $300), I will still only get $275 Travel $, and not $275x3?
