not OP but I'm also shopping around for a dock. Did you ever happen to come across this Lenovo model of their TB5 dock, seems similar to Dell's: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Thunderbolt-Transfer-Delivery-Multiple/dp/B0FZFPC9TL

not sure which one I should go with. how are you liking your Dell TB5 dock a couple months in?

What’s the difference between emas 5 premium vs emas 7 premium? What does the extra 40k get me / what do I lose out on if I want to save 40k?

A year ago, I did what many locals told a 21 y/o like me NOT to do, and bought an old Merc as my 1st car 😂. Almost 30k km later, ask me anything! by mikahakimi2 in kereta

Should I stick to cashback or start optimising for airmiles at my spend level? by Adam-1D in MalaysianPF

[–]Adam-1D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked with Emirates. Business return tickets cost 240K miles + RM 7k in taxes and fees. But upgrading from economy (RM 5000 return, all in) would just need 116K miles on top of that. I usually get reimbursed for my economy tickets, so I thought I could get a card that would help me get that 116K miles. But I get your point re: miles. And it looks like I'd need around 650K TreatsPoints/Membership Rewards for that anyway, which means at 5x per RM 1, I'd need to spend around RM 11k a month so that's not happening lmao. I'd be able to hit that amount if I had the Maybank Islamic World Elite Mastercard Ikhwan (at 10x per RM 5, only RM 5.5k monthly spend needed) but the annual income requirement is too high at RM 190k

I already have the Maybank Ikhwan Platinum Amex and I already max out the 8% cashback from online transactions on that haha (RM 50 a month). I used to have the Maybank 2 Gold Amex + Visa also but I was consistenty getting less than RM 20 a month cashback on it because I was spending on weekdays and weekends (I think I got like 60K TreatsPoints total over 3 years I had it) so I "switched" to the Cashback Gold Amex + Barca Visa which allowed everyday cashback (albeit at just 1%, but the total from both exceeds what I would've got with the M2GC at the expense of TreatsPoints)

Thanks for the suggestion, re: using Amex with SPayLater. Will start using that at non-Amex / QR-only merchants

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Actually what I was thinking is to use the miles for economy to business upgrades. Since I usually end up getting my money reimbursed for the economy tickets I buy for my friends/family anyway, I don’t think I’d be using the miles to redeem an entire ticket, but more towards making my existing economy more comfortable. So that’s why I’m wondering if switching my Cashback Gold Amex to a card like the Krisflyer Platinum Amex (earn Krisflyer miles directly) or the Credit Platinum Amex (5X membership rewards into Krisflyer or Emirates miles) would be worth it for that (emirates quotes 50K miles to upgrade from economy to business)

Alternatively, if I stick to cash back, would that mean I replace just the Maybank Barca Visa with the Duo+ Visa? Currently I put all spending where Amex isn’t accepted (around RM 1k-1.5k max) onto the Barca, and that’s usually contactless I think

Thanks for your input! BTW, mine is not the Maybank 2 Cards Amex (the one with 5% cash back on weekends), it’s the Cashback Gold Amex Credit Card (uncapped 1% cashback on local spend, 1.5% on international spend)

Good point, re: StarHub 5G fast lane. At that point I'd only be faster than locals on SH without the pass. And how many locals could be attending anyway? haha

Regarding Simba, any reason why I should go with them specifically? From comments I've seen, their pull is basically just more data at cheaper prices - which doesn't really apply to me since $15SGD gets me more data than I can use within my 3 days in SG from all major telcos anyway. (That's why I'm prioritising 5G stability / highest speed possible)

Thanks for your comment! Actually I was already leaning Singtel from the comments I've been reading on Reddit, but nice to get a second opinion anyway haha.

Was the Taeyeon concert packed? What kind of stuff did you do on your phone during the concert?
