On my invitation... ;)
seriously i just chucked it in the bin when i opened the envelop. OF ALL THE TEXT THEY SHOULD HIGHLIGHT AND BOLD, SURELY ITS THE FIRST YEAR FREE? They bolded other rubbish in the paragraph of text. Standard rubbish marketing. I've taken it since it's free. Hopefully there is discount on food at those club. Will go for a meal and let the card rot |
Amex transactions
Hi.
Is there a way to access the krisflyer amount by each individual transaction on my Amex Ascend card? |

A bit OT but still somewhat relevant to KF miles accrual. Decided to post here instead of a new thread.
Came across this time deposit that earns miles in lieu of interests. Can earn 10K Miles for every $25K deposit. Personally , this is the first time I come across miles time deposit (hope I'm not a frog under the well). Assuming one can reap 4 cents a mile on biz class, that's 4% return in lieu of the conventional interest rate for time deposit that's probably around 1.6% p.a. or lower (ignore other opportunity cost or whatnot). Or look at it another way. Assuming 1.6% p.a., the interest return would be $200 after 6 months. Effectively buying 10K miles at 2 cents per mile which isn't the best but about the same as paying for certain credit card annual fee. https://www.sc.com/sg/save/term-deposit-sgd-dollar.html What's your view on this? |

I think for my personal sanity and to maintain long term goals I will try and keep my saving/investments and miles collection separate. I also don't have a spare $25K :) |

It's all a gimmick to get their hands on your data as you start a new banking relationship with them. |

That's exactly how I would look at it. In fact not dissimilar to, say, another bank who gives you a certain amount of air miles for starting a priority banking relationship... but insist that you maintain the $200K in a savings account that pays a measly 0.1% instead of the 1.6% "bonus" saving account.

Any recommendation for a 5000 one time off purchase?

Also, not aware we can bring a guest for PP lounge - is this new? None of the other benefits otherwise mentioned for the US card, but the much touted 4th night free is identical because SG uses the same TA booking service. |

The SG version is slightly different from the US one. Not aware that we can bring a guest to PP (for SG version).

Change in KF acrrual on VA TATL
Got this strange policy change in my mailbox. From KF.
Dear Mr Ex-Sin, Change in accrual of KrisFlyer Elite miles on Virgin Atlantic We wish to inform you that you will no longer be able to earn KrisFlyer Elite miles* on Virgin Atlantic operated flights, departing on/after 1 July 2016, between the Americas and Europe. However, you can continue to earn KrisFlyer Elite miles on the rest of Virgin Atlantic's non-transatlantic flight network. There is no change to the accrual of KrisFlyer miles that you currently enjoy on Virgin Atlantic operated flights across their network |
Got it too. Think it has to do with VS's alliance with DL TATL.
