PPS Value has appeared!

[LukeGT]

The funny thing is that calculating the average on the real fare i paid, i'm under 440$...

[LukeGT]

close to 500$ per sec.

My 2.5 sectors for FRA-JFK from last week have just shown up with a value of SGD 2350.

It would be interesting to see what value I would get for this sector in May when I fly that sector. I am sure I will get a lot lot less than that since I have just got this strangely low RTW Business class fare from SQ at A$ 6,194 for my May trip that goes from SYD - SIN - SFO (77W) x- JFK - FRA - SIN (77W) - SYD. What a deal considering that is a total of 17.5 sectors and this will basically help me to requal my TPP until April 2009 at a very low revenue to SQ.

Maybe this discount is part of the "god-treatment" SQ promises since I did spend more than 3X the amount of required PPS Values in the last 12 months.

Obviously I'm one of those PPS targeted for extermination: SGD202/sector.

Thanks for the welcome Prof..

I remember seeing something on the site that mentions the new value system could take up to 2 weeks for the values to reflect on our statement.

Take a look at the faq https://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_...s.jsp#Header13

If I am not misreading, you should be credited. According to the site, as long as they get revenue, we will get PPS value.

BTW, since I am new here I don't know if there's a rule against posting of external links. If there is, please do let me know.

Welcome psan! There is no rule against posting external links.
Maybe I was not clear with my question. I know I will get the sectors and value credit. My question is the time it takes for it to post. Before the PPS Value c..p, sectors would post almost instantly on any kind of ticket. Since this new system it looks like interline tickets may take forever...

I have a question not directly related to the PPS value but linked to it because I think the answer to it is due to the ridiculous introduction of this system:

I flew SQ on 2 flights in F on April 1st on a ticket from another airline. So far, nothing has posted on my PPS account nor on the program on which I put the miles. CGK has seen his pure SQ ticket credit within 36h or less but nothing for such flight on another airline stock ticket...
Has anybody done such a flight since the introduction of this PPS value? Has any of your flight posted yet?

Mine works out to S$ 326 per sector. I'm obviously a cheapskate

[psan]

I just did a calculation and mine comes up to $910.93 per sector.

.....the value shows so may funny stuff. Same segment, different date, shows different values.

Same observation from me. Some segments differ by several multiples. I guess SGD500 per sector is about the norm. The conversion ratio of SGD1000 seems very generous. Effectively, SQ has double the sector requirement for PPS qualification.

[CGK]

I must have calculated incorrectly. Looking at on-line now, my PPS Value started from May 22 last year. So, have to do manually next time for calculating the average.

I had printed my on-line statement.
Indeed, the PPS Value appears are from the renewal date. So, my PPS sector is averaging around SGD498, even when I added all the sectors and value since May 22, I came up around the same amount.

My PPS sectors is only in average valued at S$500.
My PPS miles is worth only 33 cents per mile.

I believe that they downrate the value of the segment depending on how long you where int he lounge and by the amount of glasses of Dom/Krug drunk prior to boarding.

That's the most lucid explanation of PPS Value I've seen so far ...

I thnk SQ realized that it is impossible or impractical to calculate PPS Value using the interline settlement value, which may take several months. Instead, SQ programmed the system to use "best guess" as to what the value would be. Looking through my statement, some of the PPS Values are close to actual fare paid , while some others are pretty far off. Overall, those errors may net out and result in PPS Value close to the actual fare paid. ...

although TerryK's explanation gets a very close second.
