Earn 3 miles per dollar spend on KrisShop until 26 May

Published by

And for American Express cardholders, earn bonus miles if you spend at least $180 Most of us are probably not going to be doing any duty-free shopping in the near term, but you can at least scratch some of that shopping itch and earn some extra miles by shopping on KrisShop for now. The promo Between 12 and 26 May, KrisShop is dishing out 3 KrisFlyer miles per S$1 spent, instead of the usual 1.5 miles. Needless to say – you will need to be a Krisflyer member first to earn the miles. This promotion is only valid for purchases made on KrisShop.com, and does not extend to inflight purchases or purchases via the KrisShop order form (not that you’ll be able to do so anyway given SIA has done away with in-flight duty free sales for now). The minimum spend for free local delivery has also be lowered from S$100 to S$50. Note that you will be awarded the usual number of miles first, with the bonus miles coming in 6 to 8 weeks after …

All you need to know about American Express Krisflyer bonus miles promotions

Published by

3 key promotions that you need to know about. Amex is not my top choice of card when it comes to earning miles – their base earn rates are pretty crap at 1.2 mile per dollar spent (mpd). But with the regular promotions that Amex is running, this may not be the case, although you have to keep a tight watch over how much you are raking up with your Amex cards given that the caps are pretty low. (1) Daily Essentials promo – Earn up to 3.3 mpd Earn up to 3.3 KrisFlyer miles per S$1 spent with your Amex Singapore Airlines-branded cards, on what Amex term as “daily essentials”, which are the following merchants: Starbucks Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf MacDonalds Subway (except stores in hospitals and schools) Deliveroo Foodpanda Unity (except outlets in FairPrice) Watsons Sistic There’s a cap of S$200 spend per month. That’s enough to cover 1 Starbucks drink or a MacDonalds meal a day, so drink away and earn up to 660 miles per month along the way. (2) …

Earn 4 bonus miles per dollar spent on Scoot with American Express Krisflyer cards

Published by

From now until 18 June 2019, earn an extra 4 miles per dollar spent on Scoot, when using the Singapore Airlines branded American Express cards. The bonus miles is on top of the base earn rates (i.e. 1.3 mpd for the PPS branded cards, 1.2 mpd for the Ascend and 1.1 mpd for the blue Krisflyer card), so that means you will earn up to 5.3 miles per dollar spent. The maximum number of bonus miles you can earn is capped at 1,200 miles, i.e. S$300 spend. That’s not a difficult one to hit. There’s also no restrictions on where you need to begin your trip in, so that makes planning really flexible. To qualify for this offer, you must either have received an email from Amex, or log into your Amex app to check if you are served the offer. The offer is limited to the first 10,000 registrations although I have not heard of anyone who was rejected.
