Changes to PPS?

[SQFAN]

If you're not PPS yet;

Sorry Hon2...didn't see your profile to notice you're not yet a PPS. So no luck there. Quick, go get your remaining sectors.

Your PPS Value as of Sep 1, would be SGD20,000. Your 22 sectors would be converted to SGD22,000 for the sake of Solitaire qualification, which is not relevant since you are not a QPP (Qulaified PPS) like what 9V-JKL said.
Thus, after Sep 1, in order for you to qualify for PPS, you have to have an additional SG5,000 PPS Values within a year after your first flight that gave you PPS Value (which was posted as sectors now).

So that means, my first flight was in April 07, I have to get the value of 5000SGD till April 08. Ok, that isn't that hard.

I expect to become TPP5 in early August. Will SQ flights flown in late August count toward the S$25,000 PPS Value I need to requalify as TPP6? Or will only flights starting from September qualify?

[CGK]

I am not too sure. But I think it depends on when your account gets zeroed out. If you take late August flight, and the account has not been reset, I think the value will not go for the next requalification.

Right. My question is equivalent to: When does my account get zeroed out? For all the TPP members out there, when did they happen?

[CGK]

When I hit my 250 sectors couple years ago, the posting of my flight was very quick. So, the zero out happened two days after my qualifying flight.
But now with the new PPS Value, looks like the posting of a flight will take 2 days to 3 weeks to get posted. So, can't say anything about this now.

When does my account get zeroed out? For all the TPP members out there, when did they happen?

What happened to my account were as follows:

Day 1: PPS sector posted for the flight that got me to TPP (or the one that got me LPP)

Day 2: New status showed up in the account on line, and the account was zeroed out

Thank you! That is helpful information. As long as I don't have a huge batch of flights all posting on the same day, I should be fine.

This may be a stupid question, but, under the new rules, would someone who spends over $ 25 000 SGD on Y-Class fares obtain PPS status?

Just a thought...

No, only business and first class dollars count.

No, only business and first class dollars count.

But both parties spend $25000 on airfares...

Different rates at which profit is generated, however.

The clarification from SQ is here: https://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_...s.jsp#Header17 .

Indeed, and I think it's pretty harsh that someone who spends the same money - and has to fly in Y instead of J anyway - does not qualify.

Having said that, there's hardly any additional benefit being PPS than KF Gold from September anyway.

!!! I trust that was meant with sarcasm. As far as I'm concerned, the only major benefit of PPS is clearing waitlists. I don't believe that KF Gold does that.

I cleared waitlists during my 2 years as an EG just as easily as when I was PPS.
