Hands up how many of you didn’t know your TapForMore points could earn you Krisflyer miles.

1 Krisflyer mile usually gets you 1.1 TFM points, which can be redeemed at merchants like Guardian, Cold Storage and Giant at a value of 150 TFM points= $1 off.ย However, Krisflyer sent out an email a few days back advertising a 20% bonus on TFM points when you convert your Krisflyer miles from now till 31 October.

1 Krisflyer Mile = 1.32 (1.1 + 20% bonus) TFM points= 0.88 cents.ย
Needless to say this is horrible value and there’s really no reason why you should consider doing this. Keep in mind you can (but shouldn’t) use your Krisflyer miles to pay for revenue tickets on Singaporeair.com at a value of about 1 cent each, so even that would be a better use of your miles than this.
Although I welcome more ways to use miles, the fact of the matter remains that the best value for them will always be redeeming flights, not cashing out through third party programs. I’d give this promo a miss.
the milelion roars once again in justice
It would be exceptionally appealing to those who are neither here nor there. Too few miles for redemption and too wasteful to let it rot and expired.
then why not use them as miles + cash payment option if you have an upcoming flight? at least get 1 cent. or even for scoot/tiger vouchers which you can use later on…
But but but, if I have orphan miles expiring this month (a thousand or so) and have absolutely no plans to book any flights, I guess this is as good as it gets huh?
Or is there some orphan miles article I have missed out hmmm.
wellllllllll….you could use them on krisshop (but then you’d have to pay krisshop’s inflated prices). Yes, I suppose you have a point.
thats exactly the dilemma I have here. not sure when is my next flight and yet have some points expiring end of this month. so its actually not that bad if I cant find any better option.
