Singapore Airlines 500 KrisFlyer miles referral offer


As part of Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer program's 21st birthday, they announced an interesting offer where you can earn 500 KrisFlyer miles for each individual you refer to their KrisFlyer program.  You're capped at 10k miles (20 referrals), though there is the potential to earn another 21k miles for a total of 31k miles if you're one of the top 3 referrers under the promo.


The promo is good through February 29, 2020, and the individual you refer must have at least one qualifying activity with their KrisFlyer account by May 31, 2020 in order for you as the referrer to earn the 500 bonus miles.  The individual referred will also earn 500 bonus miles regardless of any account activity.  The qualifying activity is quite simple as it includes any of the following:

1. Miles accrued or redeemed on flown flights on Singapore Airlines, SilkAir and Scoot
2. Miles accrual from partners.
3. Transfer of points from partner programmes to KrisFlyer
4. Submission of retrospective mileage claims for flown flights
5. KrisShop accrual transactions
6. KrisPay accrual transactions and miles conversions

 So simply transferring the minimum 1,000 points at a 1:1 ratio from Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, or Citi ThankYou Points would qualify.  Although it might not make sense for some to earn 500 miles by transferring 1,000 points, a better option for qualifying activity would be to shop through the KrisFlyer Spree shopping portal, which is like any other cashback shopping portal except you earn KrisFlyer miles.
Referral steps

 The person you are referring must register for a Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer account with the promo code KFBD21 and with your KrisFlyer account number.
So you do need to give the person your KrisFlyer account number, and the promo code KFBD21 must be manually entered as it does not automatically populate.
Bottom line

 This is an interesting yet good referral promo for the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer program.  Whereas 500 miles may not seem like much, it can add up with multiple referrals, and it's definitely a good start for those wishing to open a KrisFlyer account.  KrisFlyer miles also have good uses, like short-haul economy class travel with their partner Alaska Airlines for only 7.5k miles each way or economy class travel with any of their Star Alliance partners from the U.S. to Central America and Hawaii with a free stopover for just 35k roundtrip.  If you know of anybody who may be interested in registering for a KrisFlyer account, particularly those with credit card points who could benefit from future travel, this would be a good chance for you to refer them.

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room. Seeing how the hotel's standard rooms were over $700 a night during our stay, this was a pretty good redemption value at well over 2 cents per point.  This hotel is also known for releasing tons of free night award space, even during peak travel times.  This is atypical for many Hyatt top-tier hotels such as t...

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

Image
In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer par...
