Your welcome pack will be a PPS card with booklet plus two luggage tags. The gift depends where you are - In the UK, I've received a Braun Buffell passport cover.

Congrats on your coming qualification.

I think the qualification gift has been "enhanced" - I certainly received nothing when I qualified last August.

I received:

(i) PPS card
(ii) PPS booklet (same as that online)
(iii) lifestyle benefits booklet
(iv) two luggage tags
(v) a cover letter purporting to be from the GM of SQ UK

Edit: I think it depends in which country you qualify. Others on here or TOF have posted about the PPS coordinator coming round personally to deliver the PPS pack.

well im in brisbane australia - and with the current enhancements im not expecting to get a personal call up - instead probably an envelope with the cards and booklet , a pre designed letter and the envelope

Yup, that's all you get in Oz....no welcome gift! Pretty crappy luggage tags, I might add...one of mine has already broken!!

In Australia, there is a S$ 180 gift certificate from SQ when you qualify or requalify for PPS and additional S$ 280 gift certificate when you qualify for Solitaire. These gift certificate can be use for purchase of any item from Silver Kris Shop (in flight or mail order).

I received my S$ 180 last month for my QPP 4 requalification and S$ 280 last Friday for my TPP 5 qualification.

Luggage tags are now in leather and no longer in those crappy plastic cover.

I'm based in Singapore and I got a Braun Buffel passport holder too. I got it in the registered mail, not from some PPS coordinator Santa Claus.

What I like about previously being a PPS Club member is the opportunity to check-in at the Raffles Class counter even when flying in Economy -- might not be a good thing in all occassions, as sometimes the Y queues clear much faster than the C side. Another perk is the chance to use the SKL in Changi -- Not sure about Brisbane though.

While on board in Economy, the FAs take special care of you, addressing you by your name and occassionally taking your menu order before meal service starts. This attention to service might not be so apparent in Business, as they treat everyone well anyway.

I believe what highflyer meant was that the raffles class check in counter is slower than the economy counters.
They did not remove this benefit (yet).

any recent experiences? I just qualified for PPS for the first time this week. I am based in Germany. Looking forward to more benefits even though most of the benefits will be useless to me as I already get them with my other star gold status.

Interesting: Am based in Singapore. Just requalified again to PPS after an absence of 8 years (highest tier for the longest time was KFEG) and in the mail, came the package, inclusive of S$280 Krisshop vouchers. Am only a normal PPS, and not a Solitaire.

Please note that the last posts were from 2007. S$280 is the standard for QPP these days.
