From now till 1 March 2022, KrisShop.com is offering 2X the usual miles on all purchases, allowing customers to earn 3 mpd from duty-free shopping, and a further 4 mpd when paired with the right credit card.
A 3 mpd earn rate brings KrisShop.com on par with KrisShop on Kris+, with the added advantage of PPS Club privileges and a wider selection of merchandise.
Earn up to 7 mpd on KrisShop.com
From 4 February to 1 March 2022, KrisFlyer members will earn an additional 1.5 mpd on top of the usual 1.5 mpd on KrisShop.com purchases, for a total of 3 mpd.
1.5 mpd will be awarded initially, with the bonus 1.5 mpd awarded within eight weeks after the end of the promotion period, i.e. 26 April 2022.
Do remember that KrisShop does not award miles for taxes and shipping, although you’ll still earn miles for this from your credit card. For example, if I want to buy 48 pieces of delicious satay, I’ll earn KrisShop miles based on S$98 and credit card miles based on S$104.86 (S$98 + 7% GST)
This promotion is only valid for online purchases made on KrisShop.com and is not valid for purchases made inflight, on the Kris+ mobile application (since you earn 3 mpd already; see below), via KrisShop order form or any other means.
The T&C for this offer can be found here.
KrisShop now available on Kris+
Back in December 2021, Kris+ added KrisShop as an earning partner, allowing customers to shop for duty-free items directly from the Kris+ app. A promotional earn rate of 9 mpd was offered initially, which has since been cut back to 3 mpd.
Since you can already earn 3 mpd on Kris+, is there any reason to shop on KrisShop.com instead? Yes, for two main reasons: selection, and PPS Club privileges.
- Selection: The selection on KrisShop.com is bigger than KrisShop on Kris+, so you may not find the item you want on the app.
- PPS Club privileges: PPS Club members will not be able to receive their 10% discount nor use their PPS Club gift vouchers on KrisShop on Kris+
The table below highlights the differences between shopping on KrisShop.com, versus KrisShop on Kris+.

As an aside, KrisShop on Kris+ was previously offering miles on shipping and taxes, but this bug has since been fixed. Miles are now earned only on the pre-tax cost of the item.

Conclusion
KrisShop.com is offering 3 mpd till 1 March 2022, allowing customers to earn up to 7 mpd by paying for their purchases with the right card.
This brings the KrisShop.com earn rate in line with KrisShop on Kris+, with the added advantage of a wider selection and PPS Club privileges.
I find KrisShop pricing not competitive.
Can KrisShop purchase qualify for KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card min. spend of S$500 per year with SIA Group?
