Points of View

For the longest time, the Maybank Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer American Express Platinum credit card, or KrisFlyer AMEX Platinum for short, has been the backbone of serious airline miles chasers in Malaysia But beneath all the glamour, there are several obvious, and less obvious, flaws you need to understand before you anoint this card as your daily driver.

This seat has been attracting an enormous amount of attention since launch—and for good reason. It is, quite frankly, an outstanding product in its own right.

As we head into the peak holiday season, it is worth taking a step back and reassessing which credit card you should be using when swiping overseas.

We’re closing in on the end of 2025, and whether you’re flying during the peak holiday season or staying put, it’s important to take stock of your annual benefits before they quietly reset on 1 January 2026.

With peak travel season approaching, many CIMB cardholders holding both the CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite and the CIMB Travel World Elite will naturally ask the same question: which card should I actually use overseas?

Less than three months after the sweeping devaluation of the Alliance Bank Visa Infinite and Visa Platinum, the noise has died to a whisper.

Purchases on airlines, hotels, and travel agencies (think Agoda, Booking.com, and Trip.com) are typically among the highest ticket transactions one can put on a credit card.

Travel to China is only going to grow, especially with visa waivers for Malaysians. And if you’re a lounge junkie like me, the right credit card makes all the difference.

As we head into the second half of 2025, the topic of supplementary lounge access is hotter than ever—largely thanks to UOB Malaysia's recent and sudden decision to axe supplementary lounge access across all their credit cards.
