I guess it's really beginning to hurt now. The last time I saw this kind of thing on this scale was during the SARS era.

It is a shame that all these discounts are available to all members and SQ again has forgotten about its PPS members... There is almost no difference between PPS and non-PPS members. A shame.

It is celebrating 10 years of KrisFlyer FFP. Remember that PPS is a recognition program, not a FFP per se. What I mean is that PPS recognizes the C and J flyers, who can opt to park their miles somewhere else. Kris Flyer is the program that accumulates the miles whether you are flying in Y, C or F, as well as from other partners.
So yes, it is fair for KF to offer the discounts towards all its members, regardless of being PPS or not.

Shame on me. I just redempted last month on flight SQ319. Got only 15% discount which I should have got 50% discount......God help me@@@@@@@

Can't you cancel your redemption and redo it?

The 5,000 KF miles / 50 USD fee should more than cover the difference.

note: the 50% discount is only available in Y.

So I am getting *G with PPS because PPS is not a FFP??? But before we do hair splitting here: Replace PPS with KF *G and then the same applies - it would be good to see loyal customers treated better than the regular crowd...

are award tickets subsequently eligible for upgrade?

[fone]

Award tickets are not eligible for upgrade. Arg, I just redeemed a SIN - HKG flight, that's a 5k miles difference. No availability for the flights I need, so I am hesitant to cancel and redeem again for a gain of 2.5k mile (after 2.5k mile fee)

[sqdazz]

This is quite fantastic. SIN-SFO on SQ16 one way 50% discount (Y) makes it 17500 miles! Thats quite incredible.

25% off is very nice too, makes Melbourne-London 56250 miles in J Class.

BNE - SIN - NRT

NRT - SIN - BNE

Would have saved 150 dollars if i had waited (i had to transfer about 150 dollars worth of credit card points to be able to redeem)

Some PPS member, such as yours truly, have next no miles in KF account. SQ would need to offer me a 80% discount in order for me to redeem one ticket.

which cities? I tried HK-SFO but still requires 85%

If you follow the given link you will see the offers for 50% off. I tried to copy below but the format is not good. Better you look up directly in SQ website.
