hello all, since it appears that direct bookings with hotels online won't qualify for DBS woman's x10 bonus, has anyone figured out what is the best way to pay for your direct hotel bookings?

Citibank premiermiles has a great tie up with expedia now but if I book through expedia then I don't get hotel loyalty points. What to doooo

I have replied your PM.

I use UOB PRVI Miles Amex.

Brought over from SQTalk:

sabian:
For those who are still holding onto MayBank cards, complimentary Rewards Infinite (RI) membership will cease for most MayBank cards and a minimum annual spending of $24K is required.

With the cessation of RI membership, it also means your EZ Link cards that are tagged with EZ Reload will only earn a paltry 0.4 miles/ $ instead of 4miles/ $.

I will be cancelling my cards with them since they have removed the last remaining competitive feature.

I wonder if there's a better card to use for the above 2 merchants, currently using UOB PRVI Miles for 4x points only.

UOB PRVI miles gives 4 times? Does that mean 4miles a dollar? I'm trying to find a good card to use at the electronic shops.

Tough one. Currently using Amex plat charge at HN millennia for 10+10. Really want to give up paying annual fee for this card but I do need a replacement for electronics.

Amex Platinum Charge card have some benefits right? Like auto SPG Gold status and bookings for Fine Hotel & Resorts (FHR). But if you have not much use of it then I guess you should drop it if the Annual fee is too high.

AMEX Platinum credit card will still get 10x points, think it's between 3 to 4 miles per dollar. Annual fee officially $300, but quite possible to waive.

Yes, they say that every year but HN still remained. I hope so they do because it's the only reason to keep the card. Spend 16k for 100k miles. Can't get better than that.

sounds like AMEX card is good for HN!

Yes, it is. :)

I'm plat w IHG and SPG so the hotel programs aren't so attractive. The auto Marco Polo status was attractive but now card members have to qualify for it at a lower requirement than normal.

The annual fee was within expectations until they raised it without giving more perks. But yes, until I find a card for the electronics, I'm stuck with Amex. Electronics normally cost quite a fair bit so it's a waste to use other cards with worse miles earning ratio.

My only comfort is that Amex CSOs are generally very good.

Wonder if I should signup the Amex Platinum Credit Card just for Electronics spending.
