I've recently written an article about triple-dipping and how we can maximize earning multiple types of rewards. I previously mentioned how important GrabPay was because it's an amazing way to double dip and eventually triple dip.
The same concept applies, you cash in your GrabPay card using your credit card then you pay using GrabPay on the payment pages of the respective airlines. Don't forget to put your frequent flyer number.

The only downside of paying with GrabPay is you lose whatever travel insurance you might get if you were paying with a credit card that offers travel insurance. So it's up to you to weigh in your benefits and your risk.
Although I haven't gone back to flying yet, I personally would use GrabPay for shorter flights and if the weather forecast looks good. On longer routes abroad I would much rather use my credit card with travel insurance especially if you're connecting to busy airports and with weather you're not familiar with.
Either way, it's nice seeing airlines adapt to E-wallets especially GrabPay so we can triple-dip. God forbid you pay with cash.
