Has anyone heard any more about these rumours that they are looking to up the sectors required to qualify and were considering removing the earning of sectors on SIN-CGK vv ?.

Increase in PPS qualification requirement, removal of sectors on CGK flights ?

I was going to say that I was surprised they are cheeky enough to even consider doing that after the increased F & C fares to many destinations in 2006. But then with the withdrawal of O & I classes on B77W and A380 flights, I guess anything is possible.
Me thinks SQ corporate is getting too full of themselves.

Maybe getting a few KF miles here and there might be worth doing after all...

I am not a VVIP, but I did recently received some reassurance that CGK-SIN-CGK will NOT go to zero sectors despite all the rumours, but at the same time was told that they want PPS to be more exclusive. From what I heard, it seems that they are pretty much set to increase the (re) qualification requirements for PPS Club, but the exact numbers have not been set yet.
As to why the removal of 'RAFFLES', 'MEGATOP', 'JUBILEE', etc.: SQ seems to have decided that it is better to push the one SINGAPORE AIRLINES brand rather than several different brands at the same time. And they found that despite the Raffles branding, people still refer to J as 'Business Class' anyway.

MAN Flyer - that's shocking. To further increase the PPS re-qual level. If they do that, maybe SQ should also consider lowering the PPS threshold for non South East Asia members.
StarG, hope you're right in that SIN-CGK PPS sectors > 0

Where does SQ do its market research??
But said little birds refused to reveal the exact answers to the above questions when I asked.

I've heard about 5 or 6 different spins on the reason for this now, thus indicating it was an ill thought out idea. After trying as much as they can to be 'different', this moves them back towards the pack again.
As MovieMan says, where do they do their research ?. I don't know anyone who thinks this was a good idea (waits for someone to put their hand up and say 'actually....) or anyone who was asked about it.

I'm not sure but might it be a better idea to compromise and make it more 'exclusive' to raise the PPS qual level / TPPS qual level rather than
re-qual level...so to join the PPS requires higher level but once joined its still kept at the 25 points? hmmm

If the requalifying level is too high, I can say bye bye to my PPS Club membership.
