Got a courtesy requalification today. There was a lagtime of 6 days where it showed my membership expired on Nov 31. Finally came up today with the new PPS membership valid for another year. For the record, I was $8000 short and had one F SQ RTW, one FRA-JFK C and one HKG-SFO F ticket.

Originally posted by Kiwi View PostI had less than half the required amount. But as I said, SQ may have taken into account that under the old scheme I racked up over 500 PPS sectors in just 3 years.
That's a huge drop in SQ travel; from 500 PPS Sectors in 3 years to less than 12500 PPS values. Using my rough average of 500/sector, the latter is equivalent to 25 sectors. Did you just fly less, or switched to other airlines because of PPS changes?

2004 to 2006 was when I was flying SQ a lot. At the rate I was flying I anticipated reaching LPP first half of 2009.
2007 was my biggest flying year overall (close to 500k flown miles), and that was the first year my SQ flying dropped to relatively low levels (due in part to the changes). When the changes were announced I got a letter saying I'd already been requalified (this was very early in my qualification year).
In 2008 I flew even less on SQ, didn't aim to requalify but managed to just scrape in (with some very odd PPS Values - much lower than anticipated on some flights while much higher than expected on some other flights).
In 2009 my SQ travel was less again. Funnily enough on the old system it would have been enough to requalify on PPS sectors if that was still in place. I had no expectation of requalifying* so it was a pleasant surprise to see the extended expiry date.
*this requalification is the first sign SQ has even noticed I'm no longer flying them much...

I'd be interested in hearing if there is anyone who didn't make it and hasn't had courtesy requalification.

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostThey haven't to be honest, even if it's something they should. Their intention was to renew virtually everybody who hasn't made the 25K PPSV apparently.
