MR New Frequent Traveller Partner Redemption Rates

[skywalkerLAX]

I'm a little bummed... I transferred 100,000 points last week and this would have certainly influenced my decision where to move them. Not to talk about the missing bonus.

This thread seems to indicate it's for march only. Can anyone confirm?

I just rang them and they said for sure is only for March..

The staff are mistaken. Please read the MR wording. It is clear, and forms a legal offer. There are bonuses for March, in addition to the new levels, but the 1:1 ratio for 3 carriers plus the 1:2 for SPG seems to be long term.

Where does it say 1:1 is permanant?

By looking at this link, it's quite clear it is for march only for the 1:1. http://www.americanexpress.com/australia/membershiprewards/moretravel/all-offers.html

Hopefully I'm wrong though!

Looks like Amex got it wrong. Read your link, then read my link. They are not the same offer.

I guess, to be safe, I'll have to move a year's worth of travel to the relevant carriers, this month.

The reason, I believe it make sense to leave it as permanent ( until the next change) is that SPG miles are worth abt 2c so 1:2 makes sense, and it costs 150k SQ points to fly SYDBKK on TG in F, and the same with TG, so the ratio should be equal

I wish the CEO of AMEX Australia can clarify this for us! I need to wait a month to see

Don't see how waiting is going to help. Option's lost if conversion rates revert in April.

 

[k3nnis]

I know but not sure what to do yet. Anyways I don't have much, only 30000 MR at the moment...I may just bite the bullet and transfer to VS flying club. Almost a one way Upper class for SYD-HKG with the 30% bonus.

Pah, I just transferred 106000 miles to SQ last week to get me enough points to go around the world in J on Star Alliance (when I will ever find the time, I do not know).
Although I can't complain as over half of them were awarded to me courtesy of an error on the part of Amex and they have not deducted them... yet...

I cannot register my MH number, all other programs work fine.
Is there a trick how to do it or do you have to enter your number in a certain way (preceeding zeros etc?)

 

[k3nnis]

Don't put in MH in the front of the numbers...

I have tried both, doesn't work.

Hmm strange. Call them up.

It is not listed as a special or promo. They are the new redemption rates.

I think the transfer rates are permament but the various bonuses are for March only.

 

[k3nnis]

We will find out in April What made you come to that conclusion ?

I did read it and I also read it to the staff member. I was put on hold, come back and told it was definitely March only. I'm hoping here to stay, makes Cathay a great deal for me living near Cairns I believe with the change showing in the MR Wording it will be here to stay - or I am just high hoping ...
