Who is behind BolehMiles?

Hi, I am Peter Wong, a proud Malaysian who has spent over a decade living and working in Singapore in the finance industry.

After traveling to more than 20 countries and 60 cities, all in the name of mid-life crisis and soul-searching, I realise that my back hurts.

I mean, it will hurt if I fly 18 hours to the USA in Economy, and combined with the lack of sleep and jet lag, it is difficult to enjoy my time when I arrive at my Yolo destination. The only solution was to fly Business, but that would mean hurting my wallet.

After some thought, in a surreal moment, much like the moment when an Apple fell onto Isaac Newton’s head. My mind was clear. Between hurting my back or hurting my wallet, I made a decision that I would choose neither.

I knew the only way to achieve that was to master the miles game. From then on, I dedicated hundreds of hours to learning the ins and outs of earning and using miles, and it paid off. I still remember the moment when I boarded my first business class flight on Singapore Airlines to New Zealand with my parents. I was overjoyed because I was able to provide a touch of luxury for both my parents and myself.

A decade later, I’ve accumulated more miles than I can redeem, even though I now fly in Business Class for long-haul trips a few times a year or whenever possible. Not exactly financial freedom, but that’s miles-freedom, baby!

Now, I want help Malaysians do the same. Join me on this journey to discover the best ways to earn and redeem miles efficiently!
