    Transfer from Credit Card + Redeeming for upgrade

    I have a few quick questions for the knowledgeable KrisFlyer folk here:

    How long does it take to transfer points from a Credit Card to KrisFlyer? (I have a Citibank card)

    I'm looking at upgrading a booking from Economy to Business using points when I travel in May. Just want to make sure I've got this right, so if I book the fares as Flexi, and if I have enough points, I should then be able to login and use points to upgrade to Business.

    Can I do it for selected sectors of a booking? e.g. if I book SFO-ICN - ICN-SIN, can I do it just on the ICN-SIN sector or does it apply to the entire booking?

    Also how difficult is it to get Saver upgrades versus Standard and Full. I'm aware of the limitation of no Saver upgrades on 777-300ER or A380 (how silly). Hoping to get an upgrade on A330.

    How far in advance should the upgrades be requested? and do you find out straight away when you get them, or do they need to go for some sort of approval process.

    If you use points to upgrade, do you still earn points for that sector?

    Thanks in advance to anyone able to help me with these questions.

    Citibank says it takes one to two weeks but from my experience, it is more like one to two working days.

    provided there are seats available for redemption.

    Not sure about that. I think you can only select SFO-SIN or SIN-SFO if you are ticketed thru. I may be wrong here.

    Also how difficult is it to get Saver upgrades versus Standard and Full. I'm aware of the limitation of no Saver upgrades on 777-300ER or A380 (how silly). Hoping to get an upgrade on A330.

    You should do so as soon as possible since seats are really limited for redemption.

    If you use points to upgrade, do you still earn points for that sector?

    Thanks in advance to anyone able to help me with these questions.
    You earn only the paid component - ie Y.
