Amex MR point transfer time to krisflyer

I'm trying to book a redemption with krisflyer points and researching it said that Amex MRs take 12-24 hours to transfer. Its been over 24 hours now Smiley Sad I'm hoping the award I need doesn't get snatched up while I wait.

Hmm, sadly this isn't the case for me. As of now the award is still available but the clock is ticking. I contacted Amex and they said it can be 3 to 7 days so I wasn't thrilled with that answer. When I have done this in the past I believe its been under 24 hours. Have done it twice before. I'll just keep checking over the next few hours and hope for the best. 

 

By the way does anyone know a good program to move citi ty points or amex MRs or Chase URs into for intra-asia flights? Looking for a program that would allow layovers between se asia cities so that i can try to stretch out the redemptions.

that second question I am not too sure about I dumped my whole TYP balance into SQ, will probably be closing premeir card when AF hits again. There is literally no reason for me to have that card anymore since i have the CSR right now. I know this doesn't help but I paid cash for interasia flights most of my flights were within thailand. Also isn't avios distance based since amex and Chase are both partners would that fit for you ?

I can look into avios. Not sure if they allow layovers between connections, since that could kill the redemption value. I have a feeling that this trip is going to be a lot like China where I felt I was in airports all over the place going from one part of the country to another.

Re: Amex MR point transfer time to krisflyer

The miles finally came through early this morning and luckily I was able to book the award still. Took like a day and a half to get the miles credited to my account.  I'm looking at avios for short intra-asia redemptions. It will take some effort to determine the proper order to visit places since a lot of times you can't fly from point A to point B, instead you need to fly from point A to point C (even though C is the other direction) and then from C to B.
