How to Read This Table

  1. Enrich Points Required
    The first table shows how many Enrich Points you need to redeem a Malaysia Airlines flight under Economy Saver or Business Saver.

    • Example: Economy Class – 50,000 Enrich Points means you’ll need 50,000 Enrich Points in your account to redeem that seat.

    • These rates are determined by Malaysia Airlines and may change at any time.

    • The table uses Saver Class redemption values (the lowest points option available).

      • Economy usually comes in four tiers: Saver (cheapest, limited seats ~6–8 per flight), Value, Basic, and Flex.

      • Business comes in three tiers: Saver (cheapest, limited seats ~3 per flight), Basic, and Flex.

  2. Understanding the Spending Requirement
    When you expand the Economy Class Redemption section and look under a spending category (e.g., Dining), you’ll see credit cards listed with the spending amount required.

    • Example: “Maybank The Platinum – 70,000” means you need to spend RM70,000 on dining with that card to earn enough Enrich Points to redeem a Saver flight for that route.

  3. Important Note on Bonus Campaigns
    Malaysia Airlines occasionally runs conversion bonus campaigns, where you receive extra Enrich Points when converting from your credit card rewards.

    • However, HLB Visa Infinite and AmBank Enrich cards (with auto-conversion features) will not benefit from these bonuses, since their points are automatically converted to Enrich Points after each transaction.
