Earn 50% more KrisFlyer miles on Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights

Singapore Airlines is celebrating its 10 millionth KrisFlyer member with a series of offers and promotions, including an upsized Spontaneous Escapes, discounts on all Economy Saver awards, and various transfer bonuses. 

It’s also offering 50% more KrisFlyer miles on Singapore Airlines or Scoot flights booked from now till 31 March 2025, valid for all destinations and fare classes.

This is similar to the promotion we saw back in February 2024, when KrisFlyer celebrated 25 years, only that this time Scoot is included too.

While there is a limit of 5,000 bonus miles per segment, it’d be impossible to trigger the cap if you’re flying in Economy, or most Premium Economy fare buckets and routes.

50% bonus miles for Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights

Here’s the key details of the 50% bonus KrisFlyer miles offer:

• Tickets must be purchased from 24-31 March 2025
• Dates of travel must fall between 1 April to 31 October 2025 (both dates inclusive)
• All travel must be completed by 31 October 2025
• Tickets must be purchased via singaporeair.com, SIA Mobile App, flyscoot.com or Scoot Mobile app
• Travel must be on flights operated by Singapore Airlines or Scoot

The promotion is valid for all commercial fare classes, and there is a cap of 5,000 bonus miles per segment.

Do note that flights must be operated by Singapore Airlines or Scoot to be eligible for the bonus. Any codeshare flights will be ineligible, notwithstanding the fact they were sold as part of an overall Singapore Airlines or Scoot itinerary. 

No KrisFlyer miles are earned from redemption bookings, so this offer is strictly for commercial flights only. If you happen to pay for your commercial flight with a mix of cash + miles, the miles earned will be proportional and only in respect of the amount paid for using cash. 

Earning miles with Singapore Airlines

Bonus miles are awarded based on the the total number of KrisFlyer miles earned from the combination of distance flown and cabin bonus.

As a reminder, here’s the accrual rates from Singapore Airlines’ various fare classes.

As an illustration, consider the example of a KrisFlyer Elite Gold member who flies one-way from SIN-SFO in Economy Standard (H), with 8,440 miles the actual distance flown:

• ‘H’ Fare class: 6,330 miles (75% x 8,440)
• Elite bonus: 2,110 miles (25% x 8,440)
• 50% promotional bonus: 3,165 miles (50% x 6,330)

Note how the 50% promotional bonus is applied to the 75% accrual that the ‘H’ fare class normally earns, not the actual distance flown. The promotional bonus does not apply to the 25% Elite bonus. 

Now, consider a KrisFlyer Elite Gold member who flies one-way from SIN-SFO in Business Flexi (Z):

• ‘Z’ Fare class: 12,660 miles (150% x 8,440)
• Elite bonus: 2,110 miles (25% x 8,440)
• 50% promotional bonus: 5,000 miles (50% x 12,660, capped at 5,000)

In this case the 5,000 miles cap is triggered.

For what it’s worth, it’s impossible to trigger the cap with any Economy fare, and with Premium Economy Standard and Lite fares. Moreover, even if you’re in First or Business Class, you’d have to be flying on Singapore Airlines’ long-haul routes to the USA for the cap to come into play.

Earning miles with Scoot

Scoot customers can earn KrisFlyer miles on:

• Base fare (excluding fees and taxes)
• Add-ons like meals, seat selection, baggage (except e-Visa, travel insurance/Scoot Protect)

The earn rate for regular customers is 1 KrisFlyer mile = S$1, but Singapore Airlines elite members enjoy a 25% accrual bonus.

Tier	Earn Rate (Per S$1)
Solitaire PPS Club	1.25 KrisFlyer miles
PPS Club	1.25 KrisFlyer miles
KrisFlyer Elite Gold	1.25 KrisFlyer miles
KrisFlyer Elite Silver	1.25 KrisFlyer miles
KrisFlyer	1 KrisFlyer mile

KrisFlyer miles are not awarded on any taxes, infant tickets, credit card processing fees (yes, they’re back!) and amounts offset using Scoot vouchers or KrisFlyer miles.

As an illustration, consider the example of a KrisFlyer Elite Gold member who buys a S$300 ticket from SIN-BKK:

• Base miles: 300 miles (S$300 @ 1 mpd)
• Elite bonus: 75 miles (S$300 @ 0.25 mpd)
• 50% promotional bonus: 150 miles (50% x 300)

Note how the promotional bonus is applied to the 1 mpd that Scoot passengers usually earn. There is no further bonus on the elite bonus.

I can’t think of a situation where anyone would pay >S$5,000 for a Scoot ticket, so I’m quite confident it’s impossible to trigger the cap.

When will bonus miles post?

Bonus miles earned under this promotion may take up to four weeks to be credited into your KrisFlyer account, after the relevant travel is completed.

Conclusion

Singapore Airlines and Scoot customers can enjoy an extra 50% mileage accrual for tickets booked by 31 March 2025, and flown from 1 April to 31 October 2025. 

The bonus is capped at 5,000 miles, but it’ll be quite difficult to hit this cap, unless you’re travelling in First and Business Class on the longest SIA routes. If anyone manages to hit the cap with Scoot, well, I’d like to see a screenshot!
