3 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

Back in August 2024, SkyTeam member Vietnam Airlines launched a status match campaign targeted at members of almost four dozen frequent flyer programmes, including Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer. This offers an instant fast-track up to Lotusmiles Platinum, Vietnam Airlines’ second-highest tier, which comes with SkyTeam Elite Plus benefits like lounge access and extra baggage allowance.

3 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

UOB has launched a new promotion for its UOB Payment Facility, allowing cardholders to purchase unlimited miles at a cost of 1.7 to 2.2 cents per mile.

While other platforms like Citi PayAll or CardUp offer cheaper ways to buy miles, they require you to make actual bill payments.

Hilton has launched a new promotion for its Hilton for Business programme, which offers 5,000 bonus points per stay for up to three stays between now and 27 August 2025. This is further stackable (and much more generous) than Hilton’s current Points Plus global promotion, which offers 1,000 bonus points per stay with no cap.
Nerfed: Chocolate Visa Card cuts earn rate to 1 mpd, caps miles on "bill payments"

4 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

Back in February 2025, HeyMax partnered with Chocolate Finance to offer up to 2 Max Miles per S$1 on all spending on the Chocolate Visa Debit Card. A 2 mpd rate isn’t particularly remarkable (especially with a S$1,000 monthly cap) but what grabbed headlines was the virtual lack of exclusion categories. Cardholders could earn miles even on charitable donations, education, hospital bills, government services, insurance premiums and utilities bills (and AXS, briefly!).

4 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

Singapore Changi Airport boasts a wide range of shopping, dining, and recreational facilities — not to mention some excellent airline lounges — and if you want more time to take it all in, then early check-in (ECI) is the way. ECI allows eligible passengers to check their bags, receive their boarding passes, and access the transit area up to 24 hours before departure. It costs nothing extra, and all you need to do is arrive at least three hours before scheduled departure time.

5 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

The KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card usually earns a mediocre 1.2 mpd on all transactions, but its Accelerated Miles feature boosts the earn rate on dining, food delivery, online shopping, online travel and transport spend. The bonus used to be an uncapped 3 mpd, but unfortunately, on 1 June 2025 the earn rate was cut to 2.4 mpd.

Back in October 2024, Pelago made its Kris+ debut, enabling users of Singapore Airlines’ lifestyle app to earn bonus miles when booking attractions, activities, tours and transportation worldwide. Get S$5 (in the form of 750 KrisPay miles) when you sign-up with code W644363 and make your first transactionTo mark the launch, the earn rate for Pelago bookings via Kris+ was boosted to 10 mpd, an excellent deal by any means.
Amaze offering uncapped 2 mpd on dining, hotel and travel spend

6 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

Back in March 2025, Instarem stopped awarding InstaPoints for card-linked Amaze transactions. This effectively forced cardholders to choose between earning InstaPoints or credit card rewards, and with a meagre earn rate of 0.5 InstaPoints per S$1 (0.17 mpd), there was only going to be one winner. But InstaPoints might not be dead just yet, because Instarem is now offering 6 InstaPoints per S$1 (2 mpd) on wallet-linked Amaze transactions in the dining, hotel, and travel categories.
Kris+ offering 35% bonus on KrisFlyer to KrisPay miles conversions

6 days ago | milelion.com | Aaron Wong

Singapore Airlines has launched a new Kris+ promotion, which offers an uncapped 35% bonus on conversions from KrisFlyer miles to KrisPay miles until 14 June 2025. Do note that this bonus applies to conversions from KrisFlyer to Kris+, and not the other way around. While earning KrisFlyer miles through Kris+ is a good idea, redeeming them this way is generally a poor choice— unless you’re using up a small balance that’s about to expire. This promotion does little to change that.
