With my regular flying (which is still generally less than many on this website and that includes Asiacommuter 
), I was accumulating a reasonable amount of PPSValue. On reflection, I found that I would have requalified a month back if it was based on the old sector point system.
My accumulation ratio comparing PPSValue to Equivalent Sector Points would have been about $750 PPSValue to one sector Point. That means to get 25 sector points, I will need just above $18,750 expenditure. For me to obtain a renewal I will need to cough up an additional SGD 6,250 excluding taxes and surcharges under the PPSValue scheme.
GAIN:
I guessed looking at the benefits I have gotten since the changeover to PPSValue are about 3 upgrades to FC. I did not get any upgrade prior to this changeover as QPPS. But it is disputable whether these upgrades were due wholly to reduction in PPS Numbers after the changes.
LOSSES:
Not being able to use the Silver Kris FC Lounge for about 2.5 Years.
TPPS membership that came in about 1 to 1.5 years later (Guesstimate) as compared to the old scheme.
GAIN TO SQ;
Having to handle only half the number of PPSes. Financial and Logistics advantages. Less PITA PPSes to be handled by crew members.
LOSSES TO SQ:
Equivalent of about SGD 20 K due to either switching to other airlines or not bothered about making another trip. No LPPS to aim for anymore....even though I know I probably won't get it anyway. But was still a figure to aim for nevertheless.
