My final KrisFlyer redemption

[Savage25]

Then I do not understand your post. SQ hates Elites. That's known. So take your business to other airlines and use Credit Card milage to fly with them for free. Together with the AMEX voucher it still makes sense to be a member of KF...

It hadn't made sense for me to be a member of KF anymore for the last couple of years, which is why I've let my PPS lapse and have been burning my stash of a few hundred-K miles. I've been crediting to BD for years now, and flying SQ premium cabins (including the new product when you time it right) on awards more than I used to as a KF member.

The Amex voucher has definitely been useful, but I don't need to fly economy on SQ anymore or pay high economy fares to upgrade.

You've done better than I have. I was down to below 10,000 orphan miles at one stage but a few Silkair flights have bumped my balance to low 5 figures.

I have 2 miles in my account

Pardon my ignorance, but what is BD?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is BD?

BD is British Midland - best FFP in *A:

Earning miles is 100% in Y, 200% in J and 300% in F plus 25% bonus for Silver and Gold.

SQ earns slightly less: 125%, 175% and 225% including bonus for Silver & Gold but still good compared to PPS milage on KF: 125%, 150% and 175%.

Once you are Gold with BD, you only need 35.000 miles to requalify (Silver & Gold bonus does not count though). Lowest threshold in *A.

Once you hit 55.000 miles in your Gold membership year, all base miles double. If I take a flight on Thai Airways in First, I earn 625%!!!

I see. Thanks...

Won't apply to me though. I earn my miles mainly thru credit card spendings.

I stand corrected.

[HUGE AL]

But I like to know when you're leaving BD

Ditto!

II've been crediting to BD for years now...

Stop the madness!

For TK, once you are Elite (*G), you would only need 25,000 miles for requalification.

To take it further, I'd like to know NOW.
