Amex PPS Club Credit Card

[SMK77]

Anyway, the Reserve was marketed as a cut above entry level Plat, but never as The Card.

The Reserve was actually marketed as "The Card" with a minimum income of above 150.000 SGD a year - I was assuming I would even get something better than the Platinum Charge Card but I was dead-wrong...

It's only the middle-ranking card in their "triumvirate" of plat cards?

it's supposed to be middle ground of sorts. insofar as $150k a year is middle ground.

AMEX PPS - New Card Design

The AMEX PPS card is now coming with a new design modeling after the new design of the PPS card. The base color remains silver as the old design with a blue American Express logo on the lower right corner.

The new published benefits are:
- complimentary 10,000 KrisFlyer miles when we spend S$ 50,000 from 1 May to 31 Dec 2009 with the card.
- double KrisFlyer miles reward on Singapore Airlines ticket purchases online
- Up to 35,000 KrisFlyer miles when we renew our card membership for a second year.

The generosity of this one takes my breath away... Spend $50k and you get just enough miles for a Y Saver redemption to CGK/DPS, OR something like 5%, give-or-take, of the miles required for a 77W/A380 J redemption to somewhere longhaul.

i was actually wondering which card was best for earning miles. right now it seems like a tie between dbs altitude card and uob visa infinite.

Hi Mad Max
Shouldn't the Citi Premiermiles be in the list as well?

One thing to note about cards that "reward" you with points for every $5 charged. You may be "shortchanged" if you charged $69 to your card.

Cards that reward you 1.2 miles for every dollar sounds like a fairer deal rather than those that give you 1 mile for every $0.83 charged.

Are they replacing all current card holders with the new card and benefits? I didn't recieve any mailer on this.

yeah i forgot about citi. what i dislike is the way many card issuers market their cards. DBS Altitude proudly claims 1 mile for $0.83 charged, then put in small print that this is for OVERSEAS purchases/selected boutiques. How often are we going to be overseas anyway.

Thanks everyone for your concern but that was William Lee's card. William lee is a really popular guy with SQ, he seems to have all the cards SQ has(KF Blue, KF Silver, KF Gold, QPP, TPP, LPP, KF Amex Gold, KF Amex PPS). His name and KF number appears on all SQ product brochures.
