Easy 500 (or 1,000) KrisFlyer miles: Share your interests with SIA

Singapore Airlines is giving away an easy 500/1,000 KrisFlyer miles to KrisFlyer members who update their interests in their profile.

If you can tolerate a little bit of junk mail, Singapore Airlines is giving away an easy 500/1,000 miles to members who update their interests in their KrisFlyer profile.

KrisFlyer members may have received the following eDM:

No, this isn’t the weirdest image in my search history. Why do you ask?

Whether you are a foodie, adventure seeker, or connoisseur of the arts โ€“ weโ€™d love to get you matched to more of what you like. Simply tell us your interests to get first dibs on promotions and experiences centred (sic) around your preferences and hobbies.

Whatโ€™s more, from now till 1 September 2021, stand a chance to earn 500 miles by doing just that when you update your KrisFlyer profile.

Earn 500/1,000 KrisFlyer miles by updating your interests

From 5 August to 1 September 2021, KrisFlyer members who (1) subscribe to promotional emails, and (2) update their lifestyle interests will receive either 500 or 1,000 KrisFlyer miles.ย 

ย  Subscribed to receive promotions? Updated lifestyle interests? Prize
Group A โŒ โŒ 1,000 miles
Group B โœ”๏ธ โŒ 500 miles

If you haven’t signed up to receive promotions, and haven’t updated your lifestyle interests, you’re considered part of Group A.ย 

If you have signed up to receive promotions, but haven’t updated your lifestyle interests,ย  you’re considered part of Group B (of course, the mere fact you received this eDM means that you’re already part of this group).ย 

Group A members will receive 1,000 KrisFlyer miles for doing the following:

  1. Subscribe to receive promotional emails from KrisFlyer and Singapore Airlines Group on their KrisFlyer membership page;
  2. Update their lifestyle preferences by checking at least one (1) Interest box on their KrisFlyer membership page;
  3. Maintain their subscription to receive promotional emails for at least six (6) weeks after the end of the Promotion Period; and
  4. Not amend their lifestyle preferences for 6 weeks following the end of the Promotion Period.

Group Bย members will receive 500 KrisFlyer miles for doing the following:

  1. Update their lifestyle preferences by checking at least one (1) Interest box on their KrisFlyer membership page;
  2. Maintain their subscription to receive promotional emails for at least six (6) weeks after the end of the Promotion Period; and
  3. Not amend their chosen lifestyle preferences on their KrisFlyer membership page for 6 weeks following the end of the Promotion Period.

If it so happens that prior to 5 August you already updated your lifestyle preferences, you won’t qualify for this promotion (serves you right for being an eager beaver!).ย 

Each week, the first 800 members from Group A and the first 800 members from Group B to complete their respective actions will win.ย 

  • Week 1: 5-11 August 2021
  • Week 2: 12-18 August 2021
  • Week 3: 19-25 August 2021
  • Week 4: 26 August to 1 September 2021

So if you’re reading this article a few days after the start of a new period, consider waiting till the next one to make your updates (all times refer to Singapore, GMT+8).ย 

As much as you may dislike promotional emails, remember you can’t just sign up and immediately unsubscribe. There’s a maintenance period of six weeks from the end of the promotional period, i.e. until 13 October 2021.ย 

Winners will be selected on 20 October 2021, and will be notified within 10 working days. Prizes will be credited within 2-3 weeks from 20 October 2021.ย 

This contest is open to KrisFlyer members residing in Singapore, as well as Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Sweden, Vietnam, Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan Republic, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tunisia, Ukraine.ย 

Sorry, Canadians.ย 

The full T&Cs can be found at the bottom of this page.ย 

What interests can I select?

KrisFlyer members can express interest in a wide range of areas, including dining, movies, golf, photography, wellness, and of course travel.ย 

Hopefully this will give Singapore Airlines some ideas for upcoming KrisFlyer Experiences, if nothing else.ย 

Conclusion

500/1,000 KrisFlyer miles are worth roughly S$9/18, which is a fair return for 30 seconds of work and a slightly more crowded inbox (nothing a bit of filtering won’t solve).ย 

Remember that the first 800 members of Group A/B each week will win, so do it as close to the start of 5/12/19/26 August as you can.ย

Hi Aaron

Your Interest is it under your Profile> Preferences ?

Gabriel

Better to follow the link Aaron sent, to be safe.

Only the first 800 members of each group each week?
This means unless you register within minutes of the promotion opening time, you are not gonna get the miles.
There are millions of KrisFlyer members out there and being within the first 800 is almost impossible IMO.
What a poor promotion and such a disappointment.
