Another data point: my QPP membership expired at end August 2009, and I had accumulated all of S$1,900 in PPSV (flown in the first week of August 2008). My company's travel policies have changed, and I've not been flying biz class anymore (even on Y, my accumulation over the last 12 months was under 25k). Still my PPS Club membership was renewed for another year. The lounge access does come in handy - I do fly frequently, but shot hops to CGK primarily now.

I am under the impression that SQ is factoring this in for their decisions to extend PPS.
Your total financial value increases:
- the more paid flights you take (Business & First are reflected in your PPS Value but Economy also makes them money and could be tracked)
- the more redemptions and upgrades from other *A partner you do on SQ

Including some non-mileage accruable 2-to-go cheapies, I doubt I've spent more than $7,000 in the last 12 months - really if I had started anew, I may not even have made Elite Silver. All the more reason I was [pleasantly] shocked by the renewal.
Maybe the facts that I do fly SQ at least once a month, have a Singapore home base, and purchase primarily through a corporate travel program made the difference.

SMK77, it's hardly unusual... there are plenty of frequent flyers who do short-medium hauls regionally with no need to go long-haul unless for holidays. I didn't start collecting Boarding Passes until last August, now the travel pouch I keep them in can't fit all the BPs of my flights in the last year! I'd say 95% of them are all short-medium haul.

Originally posted by N_Architect View PostMy QPP1 expires end Oct '09. I have so far S$16k, 9 short for QPP2, and sadly will not put any PPSValue next month. I'm curious to see if they will re-qualify me on their courtesy.

Originally posted by SMK77 View PostKeep us posted - did you give them any other revenue (Y flights, *A redemptions)?
I also have some 21k points from this special mktg promo they ran on May/June (i.e. needed another flight to get the free upgrade from 08/2009 onwards), but that's not really relevant for PPS re-qualification.
I guess PPS diary will also not be coming either (well, that's what conventional logic dictates).

My predicaments are exactly the same as yours N_Architect.
However, it says that
The card expiry date on the Elite membership card is 1 month after Elite tier expiry date. For more information please click here
The card expiry date for the PPS Club membership card is 1 month after PPS Club tier expiry date.
... does that mean I'll have to wait another month before I can confirm the extention?
