Singapore Airlines is extending PPS Club and
KrisFlyer Elite statuses, rolling over Elite miles, pausing the
expiration of miles in 2022, and introducing new programme
benefits to members.
All PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite statuses that are
due to expire between March 2022 and February 2023 will be
automatically extended for another year between March 2023 and
February 2024. This follows a similar
extension in 2020 and 2021.
Elite miles earned by KrisFlyer Elite members, in
the 12 months prior to the latest extension, will be credited back
into their accounts after the extension.
Elite miles earned during
the previous membership qualification cycle will also count
towards their requalification in the March 2023 to February 2024
cycle.

KrisFlyer miles that expire in 2022 will be
automatically extended by six months at a time, at the end of each
month. For example, KrisFlyer miles that are expiring in January
2022 will be extended to July 2022. If the KrisFlyer miles remain
unutilised by end-July 2022, they will be extended to January
2023.
Rewards earned from the PPS Rewards and KrisFlyer
Milestone Rewards that are due to expire in 2022 will be extended
to 31 December 2022.
Enhanced Benefits for Scoot Customers, New
KrisFlyer Milestone Rewards
From February 2022, KrisFlyer members will receive
additional benefits when they fly on Scoot.
PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite tier members can
enjoy priority boarding, complimentary standard seat selection, an
additional 5kg check-in baggage allowance with any baggage
purchase, as well as 25% more KrisFlyer miles for every mile
earned when travelling on Scoot flights.
In addition, KrisFlyer members can earn 2.5 Elite
miles for every KrisFlyer mile earned from flying on Scoot, up
from 1 Elite mile for every KrisFlyer mile.
SIA has also launched two new KrisFlyer
Milestone Rewards, which can be enjoyed by members who have earned
1,000 and 2,500 Elite miles.
JoAnn Tan, Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Marketing
Planning, said, “We are very grateful to our PPS
Club and KrisFlyer members for their continued loyalty. Extending
the membership statuses, as well as continual enhancement of the
KrisFlyer programme, provides our members with more recognition
and programme benefits. It also offers further opportunities to
earn and redeem their miles with both Singapore Airlines and
Scoot. KrisFlyer will continue to find ways to bolster its
position as a leading lifestyle-centric rewards programme,
offering a myriad of ground and in-flight benefits for all
members.”
