My standard chartered rewards 360 points are about to expire at the end of this month. My wife wants to get 8000 HKD worth of PK shop coupons while I'd rather redeem them for 56,000 Asia Miles. Are the PK shop coupons the better deal or the Asia Miles?
Thing is I'm not sure how much an Asia Mile is worth. Does anyone know? My wife also claims that it's cheaper to buy a package with hotel + flight tickets bundled together than buying them separately. And she claims that I can't use my Asia Miles to upgrade to first class if we bought a bundled vacation package where the hotel and flight is bundled into one. Is this also true?
I actually am a complete Asia Miles newb, so I really have no idea how it all works. But I'm interested in upgrading to a business class flight to Europe, and I'm wondering how many Asia Miles that would cost for 2 people.
