Malaysia Airlines is the flag carrier of its namesake country and headquartered in its capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
The airline — with its primary hub in Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and secondary hubs in Kota Kinabalu (BKI) and Kuching (KCG) — has been rated several times as a leading airline in Asia and even throughout the world. However, it has struggled in recent years to compete with low-cost carriers that have become so prevalent in Southeast Asia.
Regardless, Malaysia Airlines has plenty going for it, including a respectable long-haul route network to/from Kuala Lumpur and even a rare “business suites” product situated above its standard business class offering.
Malaysia Airlines is a member of the Oneworld alliance, and while its Enrich loyalty program may not be as well-known to U.S.-based flyers, it can be a great option for booking Oneworld flights, including those on American Airlines, British Airways, Qantas, and more.
In this guide, we’ll examine the numerous ways through which you can accumulate lots of Malaysia Airlines Enrich points. Let’s get started!
Sign Up for a Malaysia Airlines Enrich Account
Malaysia Airlines Enrich. Image Credit: Malaysia AirlinesMalaysia Airlines’ frequent flyer program is known as Enrich. Each unit of currency you earn and redeem within the program is known as an Enrich point.
To the surprise of many, Malaysia Airlines has a user-friendly website with an excellent design — simply follow these steps to create an account:
- Visit Malaysia Airlines’ homepage.
- In the top-right corner, you’ll see a button that says Log In/Sign Up. Click that, then click Enrich.
- On the redirected page, click Create a new Enrich account now!
- Verify your email address to complete your registration.
- Fill out the form and write down your Enrich number. You may also log in using your email address, but your Enrich number will be required for any partner mileage accrual.
Make sure to keep your login details somewhere handy, as you’ll need them any time you want to earn Enrich points or redeem them for flights or upgrades.
Earn Malaysian Airlines Enrich Points With Credit Cards
It’s harder for those who live outside of Southeast Asia to earn Enrich points through credit card spending than in other programs like Avianca LifeMiles or Flying Blue miles. Let’s take a look at the best way to do so for non-U.S. residents.
Non-U.S.-Based Credit Cards
If you’re not a resident of the U.S., you may have a better chance at accumulating Enrich points from credit cards, as several Enrich co-branded credit cards earn points directly. On top of that, you’ll have even more opportunities to leverage transfer partnerships from foreign transferable currencies.
Here are the co-branded credit card offerings in Malaysia:
- CIMB Enrich Platinum Credit Card
- CIMB Enrich World Credit Card
- CIMB Enrich World Elite Credit Card
- Malaysia Airlines American Express Gold Business Card
- Malaysia Airlines American Express Platinum Business Card
Although only 2 issuers offer co-branded Enrich credit cards, there are many more Malaysia-based issuers whose rewards transfer to the program:
- Affin Bank/Affin Islamic Bank
- Alliance Bank
- AmBank
- American Express
- Bank Islam
- BSN
- CIMB Bank
- Danamon Bank
- Hong Leong Bank
- Maybank
- Public Bank
- RHB Bank
- St. George
- Standard Chartered
- United Overseas Bank (UOB)
- Westpac
While all of the above issuers may have operations outside Malaysia, eligibility to participate in transfers to the Enrich program applies only to Malaysian residents, except Westpac, which is also accessible to Australian residents.
Earn Enrich Points Through Shopping and Dining
In addition to spending on credit cards, you can earn Enrich points through shopping and dining partners.
This is mainly limited to merchants and companies in Malaysia, though there may be some opportunities that apply to foreign partners.
3. Malaysia Airlines Shopping Partners
Bicester Village. Image Credit: Malaysia AirlinesAt the moment, Malaysia Airlines’ shopping partners include (note that RM refers to Malaysian ringgit):
| Shopping Partner | Earning Structure | Shopping Partner | Earning Structure |
| Bicester Village | 2 points per £1 (~$1.40) spent, up to £30,000 (~$40,700) in annual spending; after that, earn 2 points per £5 (~$6.80) spent | Temptations | Earn 2 points per RM1 (~$0.25) spent |
| Kapten Batik | 1 point per RM1 (~$0.25) spent | | |
The Bicester Village is one of the luxury shopping promenades in Oxfordshire, England. It’s part of the greater Bicester Village Shopping Collection, but the only location eligible to earn Enrich points is the one in Oxfordshire.
To earn Enrich points, present your receipts and Malaysia Airlines membership card at the Visitor Centre or Information Hub (located at the train station) on the day of your visit.
Kapten Batik offers modern batik-style fashion for men. If you find yourself in downtown Kuala Lumpur, you can earn points by shopping at the Kapten Batik store. You can also earn points by shopping online — just be sure to include your Enrich number in the Remark section during checkout, and your points will be credited within 7 days of your purchase.
And if you’re a Silver, Blue, Junior Silver, or Junior Blue member, you get a 10% discount. Gold, Platinum, Junior Gold, and Junior Platinum members get a 15% discount.
Temptations is a retailer that allows you to preorder duty-free items online. When you make a purchase, simply provide your Enrich number and your points will post 6 to 8 weeks after the transaction.
4. Malaysia Airlines Dining Partners
Currently, you can earn Enrich points through 2 dining partners:
| Dining Partner | Earning Structure | Dining Partner | Earning Structure |
| Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur | 1 point per RM2 (~$0.50) spent at THIRTY8 and JP teres | OpenHouse | 1 point per RM1 (~$0.25) spent with a minimum spend of RM100 (~$24) |
If you’re dining at any of the partner restaurants mentioned above, remember to present your Enrich membership card to earn the points.
Earn Enrich Points Through Travel
Of all the ways to earn Enrich points, flying with Malaysian Airlines or its partners is probably the most straightforward.
Currently, there are several ways to earn Enrich points through travel:
- Airfare/airline purchases
- Car rental partners
- Elite status bonuses
- Hotel booking portals
- Hotel partners
- Local travel experiences
- Partner airfare (Oneworld and non-alliance)
- Spa partners
- Transportation partners
5. Airfare and Airline Purchases
Malaysian Airlines business class. Image Credit: Malaysian AirlinesOne of the easiest ways you can earn Malaysia Airlines Enrich points is by booking paid airfare on Malaysia Airlines.
Your earnings on a given flight will be determined by the ticket price and the level of elite status you hold, which means it’s a revenue-based earning model.
| Cabin Class | Fare Class | Enrich Points Earned (Percentage of Ticket Price) |
| Business Suite | F, A | 180% |
| P | 140% |
| Business Class | J | 140% |
| C, D | 130% |
| Z | 110% |
| Economy Class | Y, B, H | 100% |
| K, M, L, V | 75% |
| S, N | 50% |
| Q, O, G | 25% |
As an entry-level Enrich Blue member, you earn 120 points for every RM100 (~$24) you spend on a Malaysian Airlines ticket.
For example, if you book a $1,000 business class ticket (~RM4,170) in the “Z” fare class, you’ll earn a total of 5,504 Enrich points. You’ll earn 5,004 points from being a Blue member and another 500 points from booking a Z class ticket with a 10% bonus (110% overall).
Similarly, if you book a $100 economy class ticket (~RM417) in the “G” fare class, you’ll earn 125 Enrich points (500 points multiplied by 25%).
6. Crediting Oneworld Partner Airlines to Malaysia Airlines Enrich
Image Credit: OneworldMalaysia Airlines is a Oneworld alliance member, which means you can easily earn Enrich points from virtually any Oneworld flight you take, including domestic flights with American Airlines, for example.
In addition, you can also redeem Enrich points for Oneworld flights, like Cathay Pacific business class or British Airways economy class.
However, the mileage-accrual structure for each partner varies tremendously. Here’s the breakdown of earnings by partner:

8. Earn More Points With Elite Status
Image Credit: Malaysia AirlinesAnother excellent way to supplement your Malaysia Airlines balance is to leverage elite status.
If you have Malaysia Airlines Enrich status, you’ll earn a tier bonus on all Malaysia Airlines, MASwings, and codeshare flights marketed by Malaysia Airlines.
Note that this does not apply to any Oneworld partner flights or mixed-carrier flights.
The breakdown is as follows:
- Enrich Platinum: 80% bonus
- Enrich Gold: 60% bonus
- Enrich Silver: 30% bonus
- Enrich Blue: 20% bonus
Let’s say you booked a round-trip economy flight on Malaysia Airlines between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and London (LHR), which cost $1,000 (~RM4,170).
If you were an Enrich Silver member, you’d earn 5,004 Enrich points, plus a 30% bonus, which comes out to 6,505 Enrich points total.
9. Hotel Partners
Doubletree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur. Image Credit: HiltonAs you can imagine, Enrich has partnerships with a long list of hotel chains globally. That’s fantastic news because you can earn Enrich points without being restricted to a particular hotel chain.
Here’s what the list of hotel partners looks like:
10. Hotel Booking Portals
There are 3 hotel booking portals that currently have partnerships with Malaysia Airlines Enrich. Before you book through a portal, though, make sure you’re getting the best rate available.
There are specific terms and conditions for each of the agencies listed below, which you can learn more about by visiting the relevant links:
| Hotel Booking Portal | Earning Structure | Hotel Booking Portal | Earning Structure |
| Agoda | 2 points per $1 spent | Trip.com | 3 points per $1 spent |
| Enrich Hotels | Up to 15,000 points per night | | |
For example, if you look at a 1-night stay at the Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur from June 4, 2022, to June 5, 2022, you’d see the following prices:
- Agoda: RM922 (~$221)
- Enrich Hotels: RM949 (~$227)
- Trip.com: $210
Ultimately, you’ll have to decide which booking portal offers the most compelling deal on a case-by-case basis, determined by price differentials and the number of Enrich points you’d be earning.
11. Car Rental, Transportation, and Logistics Partners
