Convert Points To KrisFlyer Miles For 15% Bonus

If you’ve been sitting on a large stash of flexible reward points from ANZ, Amex, Bank SA, StGeorge, Citi Bank or Westpac; now is a great time to lock in a bonus of 15% when you transfer them to Singapore Airline’s KrisFlyer program.

Personally, I’m a massive fan of KrisFlyer because of the incredible value on offer out of Australia (cheap redemption rates + low taxes) and the excellent availability when it comes to redeeming said points.

I’ve never seen a bonus offer for KrisFlyer, and no doubt #rona has something to do with it!

The Deal: 15% Bonus KrisFlyer Miles

All bank reward points conversions must be successfully converted to KrisFlyer miles by 27 December 2020, 2359 hours (GMT+8) in order to qualify for the bonus miles.

The promotion is available worldwide and luckily includes all the Australian transfer partners to KrisFlyer.

In order to get the 15% bonus, you need to transfer a minimum of 10,000 KrisFlyer Miles. For example, you would need to send 20,000 Amex Membership Rewards to get 11,500 KrisFlyer miles.

Do KrisFlyer Miles Expire?

Yes! So this is a bit of a catch, KrisFlyer miles have a lifespan of 36 months following the month in which they were first credited to your account. For example: miles credited to a member’s KrisFlyer account in July 2020 will expire on 31 July 2023.

Should you transfer?

For me, this is a no-brainer. I see this as a 15% discount on future redemptions, and I have no doubt that we will be able to travel again in the next 3 years. There are many great redemptions available with Singapore Airlines and or its Star Alliance partners, so there’s sure to be a way for you to spend said miles. The likelihood of Singapore Airlines going bust is minimal (they are backed by the Singaporean Government; which has very deep pockets).
