From now till 7 May 2020, KrisFlyer members can win a share of 300,000 KrisFlyer and KrisPay miles by playing the latest KrisFlyer game, โGame of Mylesโ.
Who is Myles, you might ask?
Why, heโs Singapore Airlinesโ new mascot, named in a contest where my awesome proposal of โMiley McMilesFaceโ was glossed over. You may have seen this adorable scamp in the trailers that play before inflight movies.
Myles is a veritable ladiesโ man.
Heโs everything Iโm not.
Find someone who looks at you the way this lady does Myles.
How it works
| Hereโs the weirdest thing: when I played the game this morning it appeared as in the screenshots below. Now, itโs loading a completely different game, where you catch falling icons instead.
Perhaps itโs a cache issue- use Incognito mode when playing to ensure you have the right version. Prizes and other information remain unchanged |
The premise of the game is simple enough. You have 60 seconds to find all the KrisFlyer-related icons on the map- kind of like Whereโs Waldo. The faster you find the items, the higher your score (you get 0 if you donโt find all the items before the time expires).
What are KrisFlyer-related icons? Things like boarding passes, hotels, petrol, grocery carts, shopping bagsโฆanything that lets you earn KrisFlyer miles. Be careful not to accidentally tap on any non KrisFlyer-related icons- each one will incur a time penalty of five seconds.
Curiously enough, spiders arenโt considered KrisFlyer-related. Thatโs odd, because my miles are collecting cobwebs now.
Prizes
The game ends at 2359 on 7 May 2020. The top 40 scores will be declared the winners, with the first 20 receiving 7,500 KrisFlyer miles, and the next 20 receiving 7,500 KrisPay miles. Whatโs the difference? The latter can only be used at KrisPay merchants at a rather mediocre value of 0.66 cents each.
| Estimated Value | |
| 7,500 KrisFlyer miles | ~S$135 |
| 7,500 KrisPay miles | ~S$50 |
Singapore Airlines will publish the names of the winners on 13 May 2020, and prizes will be credited within 4-6 weeks. KrisFlyer miles earned from this contest are valid for one year (instead of the usual three), and KrisPay miles for the usual six months.
The terms and conditions can be found here. Do note that only KrisFlyer members who reside in Singapore are eligible to win.
Conclusion
The previous KrisFlyer game featured three prizes of 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000 miles each, so I suppose the idea this time was to lower the quantum but increase the quantity of prizes.
7,500 miles is enough for a one-way Economy Class ticket to Bali, so if youโre good at this sort of thing, it doesnโt hurt to try. As for me, Iโm waiting for the VR version.
