Thank You For Being An Elite Silver Member

[The High Flyer]

I was reading the postings here on SQTalk this morning when I suddenly realised I had not logged in to the KrisFlyer website since 30 April, my PPS Club expiry date. This is what I saw...

That's it. No more PPS. No more lounge access -- not even the SATS Premier Lounge. Well, at least I'm an Elite Silver; I thought I was back in the deep blue sea!

30 Sept for my fall from PPS to blue or ... are you saying that you got silver even without 25,000 EQM ?

I'm not sure. The KrisFlyer website doesn't do a good job in telling me how much I've accumulated thus far, in a consolidated way. The Account Statement lists the miles flight by flight, akin to a bank statement. I think I've tried once to add the miles manually, but I thought I ended up with 21,000 miles. I could be wrong though. Let me try again when I have the time.

I had a look at my account this morning too. After not having flown for almost a year, I was expecting to drop to Blue from EG. But No, SQ soft-dropped me to ES. I did not fly 25,000. So Thank You SQ for letting me keep my 25% bonus KF miles

OK, so I've gone back to reopen the case. Here's what I found:

So I did end up with 21,606 miles. And I'm now Elite Silver. So there is indeed soft landing, contrary to popular thought.

So I guess there will be lots of Elite Silver people in the near future with the changes in PPS. Aside from 25% bonus miles, what other benefits does ES have?

Nothing is as good as PPS lah! Seriously, I don't think I'll qualify for that for a long time, especially with the new PPS Value requirements. Hopefully my next job will allow me some serious travels!

Officially waitlist but there's probably tons of ppl ahead.......so not much I guess

I believe the 25% bonus miles thing is the ONLY benefits ES has!

Has soft landing been around all the while or is it meant to be a poor consolation for the PPS changes?
