Marco Polo Club or Asia Miles

[Kyo]

From my limited poking around with OW when I was deciding to credit to Asia Miles or JL's JMB, I also took a look at MPC.

Asia Miles seems more like a rewards program where you can credit all sorts of rewards points (not just airmiles) to... it's not a real FFP per se. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but if it's status you're after, CX's MPC is the one to be going after.

Will let the usual OW guys sort it out...

Isn't AsiaMiles for accumulating the mileage and MPC for status?

Thanks for the headsup, HugeAl.....yes you are right below but still wondering if its really worth to pay USD50 for some plastic card....

If I remember correctly from my last trip, you can apply for MPC for free inflight if you are on traveling on business or first class .

I find it funny to pay USD50 for a FFP

Yes, I agree with you...other than that if your MP is inactive for 12 months...all miles accumulated before that will be set to ZER0.....

Hi there,

I am a member of Asia Miles but rarely use it. My job now needs be to fly to TPE on a regular basis, therefore I will see a regular use of CX to TPE via HK. Note: I am based in Penang.
Question is should I pay n sign up for Marco Polo club as I find some of the terms n conditions are ridiculous to a certain extend....

Anyone can tell me which one is better : Asia Miles or Marco Polo ?...thks
