Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions
for SYD-KUL oneway:
Economy Basic 11.25k
Economy Smart 16.9k
Business Basic 20k
Business Smart 50k
First Smart 55k
No way to buy points, other than buying and redeeming American Express Membership Rewards points...
I think you can "top-up" points for an Award, however you will need a minimum of 70% of the required mileage.
The feature is called Enrich Express, and top-up miles cost MYR 0.10 per mile + MYR 40.00 processing fee, with minimum 500 mile purchase.
That effectively drops the mileage price of SYD-KUL-LHR one-way into the lower 40k range, but unfortunately I don't have that many Amex MR points
It should be noted that, according to the Enrich T&Cs, once Enrich award tickets are issued, they are completely non-changeable and non-refundable. If you do not fly the booked itinerary, all miles, fees and taxes will be forfeited. (The taxes may be recoverable through legal action, notwithstanding....)
Still debatable whether, say, BNE-KUL Y return is worth 22.5 k points + ~$400 in taxes. My gut tells me no (unless backed into a corner).
I'm assuming, in response to
markis10, that fuel fines are still payable on awards (and they are similar to SQ in that regard).
Kind of annoying that Enrich doesn't have a redemption chart, unless you need to log in to Enrich in order to access it (last time I checked they had a calculator but not a chart).
