Who would say no to free miles? For those who are unaware, Singapore Airlines have recently launch their version of digital wallet. Just like other competitor Grabpay, Favepay and etc., Singapore Airline launched KrisPay. And currently KrisPay is having a promotion that would give out free 500 miles if you would have login for the first time from 1st to 30th November 2018!
KrisPay turns your KrisFlyer miles into purchases. Some quick rules of KrisPay are:
KrisPay turns your KrisFlyer miles into purchases. Some quick rules of KrisPay are:
- Krisflyer miles are converted to KrisPay miles at 1:1 ratio.
- You login to KrisPay using your KrisFlyer account and to transfer miles over to KrisPay
- However, KrisPay miles cannot be transferred back to KrisFlyer account.
- 15 miles in KrisPay is worth $0.10
- KrisPay miles are valid for 6 months.
With this lousy arrangement and lousy exchange rate, there are not a lot of merchant that you can use KrisPay. Currently there are about 20 merchants that accepts KrisPay as a payment method. Not very such how's the usage rate but I am sure it is not very good.
Anyway, here is a step by step way on how to get hold of that 500 miles! Remember this promotion is only valid from 1st to 30th November 2018 and it is your first time logging into KrisPay.
Download the app on Apple store or Android
Login using your KrisFlyer account
500 miles will be auto credited to your account
If you fulfill the 2 criteria, you will receive 500 miles upon your first login. The free miles will cost about $3.30.
If you wonder what can you buy with $3.30 since we do not want to utilise our hard earned miles, I went through the merchants and noted probably our best bet is Gong Cha.

With normal milk tea cost about $2.80. I think we can safely say that KriPay is giving each of us a free milk tea! I will be trying out to claim the milk tea soon and feedback in this blog. Stay Tune!
