Krisflyer Miles Lose Value - use them up now

[therock]

Quote

As part of our ongoing review of the KrisFlyer programme, we will be revising the miles required for flight redemptions and upgrades with effect from 5 July 2022.


REVISIONS TO THE AWARD AND UPGRADE LEVELS

Upward adjustments with an average increase of 10% will be made to:

Award and Upgrade levels on Singapore Airlines' flights

Award and Upgrade levels on flights operated by Star Alliance member carriers only, or in combination with flights operated by Singapore Airlines, and

Award levels for flights on our partner airlines.

Click here for more information on the revised Award and Upgrade Charts.


REVISIONS TO STOPOVER OPTION FOR REDEMPTION BOOKINGS

Stopovers for eligible redemption bookings ticketed on or after 1 August 2022 will be limited to a maximum of 30 days. Complimentary stopovers exceeding 30 days, as well as the paid stopover option, will no longer be available for tickets issued on or after 1 August 2022.

We seek your understanding that these changes were made after very careful deliberation, taking into account higher costs, and are necessary to ensure the KrisFlyer programme remains sustainable. We are committed to providing our members with more ways to earn and redeem miles, both in the air and on the ground, and to providing greater value to your KrisFlyer membership, through regular enhancements to our programme offerings and benefits.

We would like to thank you for your continued support for the KrisFlyer programme.

Quickly use up your miles before 5th July...

I redeemed the few miles I had in Oct 2020 for a Parker fountain pen. Basically I don't have plans to travel by air.

Pity I don't have an apple. Else I could have a pineapple. 😁

All jokes aside, I hate travelling. I've let so many points expire. That's why I quickly redeemed this pen and free shipping before I luigi any more. 

That's also why I opted for the "normal" Premier Infinite Visa when OCBC was trying to hardsell me the Voyage. Didn't see the point of the latter, and harder to get fee waiver (I'm a real cheapskate). 

BTW, I still use the pen daily. A bit battered and bruised haha.

Anyway, when I do deign to get ass into an aluminium tube of certain death, I support our national carrier by not using them unless someone else is footing the bill. 

Their service is nothing great anyway. Everyone else has caught up, many have surpassed.
