IHG launches Double Points Plus More promotion

Published by

IHG Rewards Club have launched the Double Points Plus More promotion, for stays between 16 September 2018 and 16 December 2018. All eligible members will earn double points on every stay (starting from the second) up to 15,000 bonus points during the promotion period. IHG Rewards Club members will remember the Accelerate promotion, where you have to complete a set of activities before earning bonus points. It seems like IHG has renamed the promotion to Double Points Plus More this time round, given the similar mechanism. Members are rewarded with bonus points for each activity completed, and upon completion of all activities, select members may also earn a last set of bonus points. The promotion is supposed to be customised for each member. In the Q2 Accelerate promotion, I earned a total of 30,000 points, but this time round I stand to earn up to 49,200 points. Register for your promotion now here.

Amex offers 4 bonus KrisFlyer miles for every dollar spent on mobile wallets

Published by

American Express is the latest card to jump on the mobile payment promotion bandwagon, with an offer launched on 15 August 2018 for Singapore Airlines co-branded credit card holders. For every S$1 spent, Amex will give you 4 bonus miles, on top of the usual mileage. That means PPS Club branded cards can earn up 5.3 miles per dollar, Ascend can earn up to 5.2 miles per dollar and the blue Krisflyer card earns 5.1 miles per dollar. There’s a very big BUT However, the promotion is capped at a grand total of… 1,200 bonus miles. That’s right, that’s a pathetic S$300 spend. Also, foreign spend will not count towards the promotion too. This offer is obviously not as generous as what Citibank did with their insane up to 8 miles per dollar spend, but still a relatively easy way to scoop up some miles if you are already holding the card. How to sign up? Because this promotion is not available on their website, I assume that only those targeted for this promotion (i.e. …

Earn double status credits on Qantas Frequent Flyer

Published by

For the minority of you who are Qantas Frequent Flyer members, Qantas is running its double status credits promotion again, this time from 9 to 14 August 2018. The mechanics are fairly simple: 1. Register for the promotion here. Needless to say, you need to be a Qantas Frequent Flyer member first. 2. Book your flight between 9 to 14 August 2018. Your flight(s) must be between 21 August 2018 and 9 August 2019. Note that the deadline for booking is 11.59pm AEST (Sydney time), so that means 10pm Singapore time. 3. Travel and wait for your bonus status credits to come in! Now the fine print… You can book as many flights as you want during this promotion and all of them will qualify for bonus status credits. You can fly other airlines and qualify for the bonus status credits as long as they have a QF code. So this means you can fly Singapore to London on Emirates (via Dubai) as long as you book it on Qantas.com. And that will earn you …

Published by

Singapore Airlines Mastercard promotion, ends 23 July 2018

Published by

Singapore Airlines is now running a Mastercard promotion to almost all its destinations. Promo fares are available across all classes – Economy, Premium Economy and Business. The sale period though is a little confusing. Business and Premium Economy sale ends 23 July 2018, while Economy class fares are available through 13 July 2018. For those who want to splurge a little, the business class fares seem rather reasonable. Fares begin from S$648 (two to go, Kuala Lumpur), and the most expensive being S$7,188 (New York JFK). Return fares below: Destinations Economy  (S$) Premium Economy (S$) Business (S$) Bangkok 248 228 (two to go) – 1,068 918 (two to go) Hong Kong 288 278 (two to go) 978 828 (two to go) 1,838 1,588 (two to go) Tokyo-Narita 708 1,898 1,768 (two to go) 3,268 3,168 (two to go) Sydney 678 658 (two to go) 1,808 1,608 (two to go) 4,208 3,808 (two to go) London 1,198 1,058 (two to go) 3,068 2,698 (two to go) 6,108 5,698 (two to go) Los Angeles 1,348 1,168 (two …
