Singapore Airlines has announced today changes to KrisFlyer mileage redemptions orpions, effective July 1, 2025.
The best news is that the current award charts with fixed redemption rates stays in the picture, at least for now, but you can now offset Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights and use miles towards KrisShop, Kris+, and Pelago purchases at a fixed value of 100 miles for S$1.
You can access Singapore Airlines here.
Details of the Change:
- Singapore Airlines and Scoot (Miles & Cash): The redemption rate will change from 105 miles = S$1 (0.95 cents per mile) to 100 miles = S$1 (1 cent per mile). Minimum redemption amounts will also drop from 1,050 miles to 1,000 miles.
- Kris+: The redemption rate will increase from 150 miles = S$1 (0.67 cents per mile) to 100 miles = S$1 (1 cent per mile), with a minimum redemption of just 10 miles.
- KrisShop: The current rate of 125 miles = S$1 (0.80 cents per mile) will be changed to 100 miles = S$1 (1 cent per mile), with a minimum redemption of 1,000 miles.
- Pelago: Similar to Kris+, the redemption rate for Pelago experiences will increase from 150 miles = S$1 (0.67 cents per mile) to 100 miles = S$1 (1 cent per mile), with a minimum redemption of 1,000 miles.
Do these redemptions make any sense?
No, they don’t, unless you have no other use for them or cannot use these miles for awards on Singapore Airlines or partner awards.
You earn so few miles from Singapore Airlines economy flights that you probably never have a redemption opportunity before they expire, unless you pay to extend them. In this instance, using them for something of monetary value rather than allowing them to expire can be a sensible approach.
If your credit card earned miles transferred to Krisflyer are about to expire, you are then converting them to the wrong program to begin with (looking at myself and what I did during the pandemic).
Conclusion
It is a wet dream for all these loyalty professionals to go entirely dynamic on the redemption side, which will essentially destroy most of the value that frequent fliers can get from these programs.
I guess that the only reason this has not happened yet is that the conversion cash flowing in from banking partners would stop IF there are no good value or aspirational award opportunities.
Most of these card products also have in-house or outsourced travel departments that allow you to use your miles towards paid flights, which can sometimes provide much better value than converting them to partners, as these flights are also eligible for loyalty program credit.
I have some KrisFlyer miles about to expire this fall that I have already paid to extend once, but I am sure that I can use them for a flight this fall, like I just did:
