How are/were KF numbers assigned?

[milehighj]

I've been curious about this subject for a long time...

When the current numbering format appeared with the introduction of Krisflyer 10 or 11 years ago, I was a member of Passages, ex-SIN, and was NOT a PPS member, and was assigned an 855 XXX XXXX, KF blue card.

A lot of the numbers I see on luggage tags seem to be 800, 810, etc.

A friend of mine was ex-Australia, was an existing TPP, yet was assigned an 855 number, very close to mine.

Another friend joined in 2004 or 2005, was blue until last year, and has an 800 number.

Any idea what is/was the numbering logic??

I wonder too. My wife registered some years after me but has a 800 number (don't get any funny ideas.......), mine starts with 810

Have seen 808, 825

I think all membership numbers starting with 800 are registered via SQ website.
My family got 869-, 854-, 852-, 838-, 828- as PPS members & ex-Passages.

That's certainly true in my case.

I always wondered about this topic as well. I registered in 2000 and mine is 810. Dad is 851. So not sure how they gave the numbers.

I just asked for the number I wanted, they checked if it was free, and that was that.

I don't think this is necessarily true. Mine starts with 804 and registered in SQ's website in 1999.
Not sure what my parents got as an ex-passage member.

I suspect StarG meant that 80X numbers were assigned on the website, which your example would support...

Mine is 808 - and has loads of 8s in eight

808 for me since I registered online.

800 4* for me, registered online early 2005. mrs nickbot registered a few months later (online also) and received 800 6*

[KeithMEL]

Registered online in 2001, with KF number 800 1*.

Mine starts 808 and also contains 28! Yay!

(Reminds me of how when I took out my mobile phone contract years ago and they let me choose my number, I must have spent 5-10 minutes scrolling down until I got one with 888! )

8082828288?

Incidentally, mine starts with 810, and it's pretty crap by chinese standards. Didn't know better at the time (1999)

Ps. oh look! i've got 1138 posts!

Ending in 18 is pretty good as well!
