I dot not recommend having too many mile cards. For most banks if you want to convert your bank points to miles, you need to pay around $25 fee. Assuming you want 50k miles for a $700 flight, from 3 cards, just the fee will take about $75, and this exclude the tax you will pay when redeem the miles for flight.
Thanks for sharing Kelvin! I am wondering if I use HSBC revolution or Citi reward card to make payment to top up my Timezone card can earn the 4mpd? Not sure if it is counted.
It is considered as prepaid card topup, hence it won't earn 4mpd. The only way to earn is by using a general spend card (AMEX high flyer/UOB PRIVI Miles) topup to Grab wallet, then use Grabpay card to pay
Can I clarify how the conversion from uni$ to miles work? Uob website and app says $25 per conversion and each conversion must be in block of 10,000 miles. Does it mean i have to pay 10 x $25 if I need to transfer 100,000 miles?

Agreed. The additional miles card is just in case exceed the $1k card limit
Ocbc titanium is another option too. Though I haven’t dived deep enough to see how they compare against Citi rewards
I like CRP IS crypto exchange because of its anonymity and lack of sanctions
Amex krisflyer ascend??

U miss out OCBC Titanium Rewards which offer 4mpd for membership year not exceed $13k (can refer to milelion)
That card is similar to the uob preferred platinum visa where it gives in $5 block. Less efficient compared to hsbc revolution or citi rewards
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting that’s why I always strategy when it hit $0.9 to use HSBC revolution or DBS women’s world 😂
What's your valuation of 1 mile to % of cashback? It's always the hardest to choose to go with either...
No idea, havent convert to plane tix yet. Now focusing on accumulate miles first
if i pair citi and amaze, do i use the amaze card to tap ?
Yup! Use the amaze card to tap
Since DBS Women's World card doesn't excluse travel expenses, does it mean that i can substitute the Citi Rewards?
Can only substitute for online expenses. Citi rewards paired with instarem amaze can be used for offline expenses
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting what about OCBC 90degree
Hi Kelvin, if I pair my Citibank Rewards Card with the amaze card, I can earn miles for offline spending too?
Yup, because amaze converts offline spend to online spend
what do you think about UOB Preferred Platinum card comparing to UOB PRVI Miles?
Both have different purpose.
Pp: offline/online spend, 4mpd
Privi: general spend, insurance, tax etc, 1.4mpd
How about uob lady’s card?
Any expiry for the miles?
can u accumulate miles from different card to convert to buy airtix?
Yes

Nope, minimum is just 10,000 miles so 100,000 miles also $25 conversion fee
