Genting Points and Worldcard Points

Holder of Worldcard, especially the one issued by Genting, will definitely have Worldcard points, and possibly Genting points.

A little known fact is that both Genting Points and Worldcard points are transferable across borders.

That means if you have 1 Worldcard point earned in Singapore, it will be translated as slightly more than 2 Worldcard points in Malaysia.

There is no need to convert manually.  When you want to pay with Worldcard points, the merchants can tell you how many points you have.

The same thing with Genting Points.

If you have 10 Genting Points earned in Singapore, you can go to the Worldcard center in Genting Highlands, and ask for conversion to Genting Points in Malaysia.

The conversion rate differs every day.

Both Genting Points and Worldcard points are useful for the following purpose:


1.  Book hotel room

You can use Genting points to book hotels in Resort World Sentosa, and Genting Highlands.

It is possible to convert the points in Philippines and use them to stay free too.

I heard that you can even convert points from UK for use in Malaysia too.  However, I have not heard of vice versa.

The website at rwmanila states that “Points earning at Resorts World Manila and other Genting affiliates (Resorts World Genting, Resorts World Sentosa, Star Cruises).”

The site about UK is not stated.

Worldcard points have wider usage.  You can redeem at many participating hotels as listed in the Rewards catalogue for each country.

2.  Cash

When Genting has certain promotions that allow you redeem Genting Points for cash, you can do so.

Once Genting Highlands had a special promotion for all Singapore visitors who traveled by coach.  As long as they could show the return coach ticket, and had purchased the Go Genting 200 package, they could redeem up to 160 GP for RM640.

The redemption rate was at 1 GP for RM 5.

3.  Cruise

You can use Worldcard Points or Genting points to redeem free cruise stay.

Once I called up Starcruises in Singapore to check the rate, the ongoing rate is 45 Genting Points (Singapore) or more than 100 Genting Points (Malaysia) to redeem a cruise stay for 1 person.

I forget to ask the duration of the cruise.

Since Starcruises operate out of many destinations, including Hong Kong and Thailand, you might as well save up your Genting Points for use in other countries.

4.  Food and entertainment

Where food and entertainment is concerned, Worldcard points have much wider applications.

You can use Worldcard points at any participating merchants to offset part of the bill.

That means if the dinner costs RM 100, and you have 5000 Worldcard points, you can use your points to pay part of the bill.  You need to pay RM 50 in cash.

Genting Points are very valuable for use in Genting premises.

You can use Genting Points to pay for car park space in Resort World Sentosa.  Parking is free if you are holding gold card and above.

Now that Genting has operations in USA, we can look forward to redeem our Genting points and Worldcard points there.

The holders of Worldcard in USA can enjoy greater value when they convert their Genting points and Worldcard points over.
