Singapore Airlines is making it even more rewarding to be a KrisFlyer member. Starting 1 July 2025, KrisFlyer miles will carry more value when used for flight bookings, lifestyle purchases, and travel experiences. Whether you’re flying with Singapore Airlines or Scoot, shopping on KrisShop, dining with Kris+, or exploring activities on Pelago, you’ll now need fewer miles to get the same benefits. This update is great news for loyal flyers and spenders who want to make the most of every mile. Along with a reduced minimum redemption requirement in some cases, the improved miles-to-cash conversion gives members more flexibility and greater savings.
As a KrisFlyer member, you’ll soon enjoy improved value when redeeming your miles, whether it’s for flights, lifestyle spending, or experiences across the Singapore Airlines Group. Here’s how you can use your KrisFlyer miles:
- Offset the cost of Singapore Airlines and Scoot tickets using miles.

- Shop on KrisShop using KrisFlyer miles.
- Book travel experiences on Pelago with your miles.
