In Singapore, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer (a Star Alliance programme) is the centre of gravity, and the local card market is built around earning miles that transfer to it.
The miles-card ecosystem
Cards like DBS Altitude, UOB PRVI Miles, OCBC 90°N, Citi PremierMiles and American Express Platinum (Singapore) earn flexible miles or points that can be moved to KrisFlyer and other partners, so a single spending strategy can fund many airlines.
Amex Platinum — 100,000-point welcome bonus
Centurion Lounge access, Fine Hotels & Resorts, 5x on flights.
Cash or points — always compare
Before booking, compare the cash fare against the KrisFlyer cost for the same flight. Pointify shows both in Singapore dollars so you book the cheaper option every time.
Where to start
- Changi (SIN) is your hub — map your most-flown routes.
- Pick a miles card whose currency transfers to KrisFlyer or a useful Star Alliance partner.
- Earn toward a specific redemption, not an open-ended balance.
The win is in the redemption, not the running total.
