One of the biggest pitfalls of Kris+ is forgetting to transfer the miles you earn to KrisFlyer.
While you now have an expanded 21-day window to do so, sometimes life happens and if you miss the boat, those miles will be stuck in Kris+ permanently. Miles in Kris+ expire after six months, and can only be spent at a poor rate of 0.67 cents each.
But cheer up, absent-minded people, because Kris+ now has a โset-and-forgetโ feature that will ensure this never happens again.

Kris+ new Auto-transfer feature
Kris+ users can now choose to automatically transfer any miles earned via Kris+ into KrisFlyer.
To activate this feature, tap on Wallet > Transfer to KrisFlyer, then flick on the โauto-transfer to KrisFlyerโ switch.
Once done, all KrisPay miles earned will be immediately transferred to KrisFlyer until you turn off the feature. However, this will not transfer any KrisPay miles that were earned prior to activating the feature.
Do note that not all miles earned via Kris+ can be transferred to KrisFlyer.
- Transferrable miles: KrisPay miles earned through purchases from participating partners, or converted from partner reward points
- Non-transferrable miles: KrisPay miles awarded through challenges or promotions, top-ups from KrisFlyer, or bonus miles from Kris+
Now, strictly speaking, if you earned some miles towards the end of the month, then waiting till the start of the following month to transfer them would be more โoptimalโ in the sense that youโd get an extra month of validity.
Transfer on 30 June 2025 | Transfer on 1 July 2025 | |
Miles Valid Till | 30 June 2028 | 31 July 2028 |
But really, an extra month of validity is not worth the risk of forgetting to transfer your miles, and for that reason I think everyone should flick the switch.
Earning miles via Kris+

Earning miles with Kris+ merchants is simple. All you need to do is:
- Scan the merchantโs Kris+ QR code
- Enter the amount to be paid, and press โPayโ to pay via Apple/Google Pay
Miles will be credited immediately upon completing the transaction, which makes Kris+ an excellent way of topping up a KrisFlyer balance.
What card should I use with Kris+?
In general, Kris+ retains the MCC of the underlying merchant (though there are some exceptions, most notably for travel agencies), so you can use whatever card youโd normally use for that particular merchant.
When in doubt, the following cards are the safest to use with Kris+, as they earn 3-4 mpd regardless of Kris+ merchant.

Conclusion
Kris+ has added a new feature that automatically transfers any miles you earn to KrisFlyer. This ensures youโll never again have to deal with โstuckโ miles, and unless youโre really trying to optimise for miles expiry, take a moment to activate it now.
