HeyMax has launched the latest edition of Max Miles Day, a monthly promotion which offers 20% milesback on selected redemptions.
This month, like last, users can enjoy 20% milesback on Max Miles to yuu Points conversions and all voucher redemptions. This effectively allows for 1:1 conversions between Max Miles and KrisFlyer miles, though Iโd personally prefer to keep my Max Miles for more โexoticโ points currencies.

On Wednesday, 25 June 2025, HeyMax users will enjoy 20% milesback when they convert Max Miles into yuu Points.
As a reminder, Max Miles can be converted into yuu Points at a 1:3 ratio.
- A minimum conversion of 1,000 Max Miles is required
- All conversions are free of charge
- Transfers will be processed within 3-14 working days (instant conversions will be possible in the future)
With 20% milesback, the conversion ratio is boosted to 0.8:3. For example, if you convert 1,000 Max Miles, youโd receive 3,000 yuu Points and a rebate of 200 Max Miles, for a nett outlay of 800 Max Miles.
Milesback is tracked instantly, and will be awarded within seven days. There is no cap on the maximum milesback you can receive.
HeyMax and yuu accounts can be linked via the HeyMax app. Look for the yuu logo on the home screen and follow the instructions. The linking process is instant.
Each HeyMax account can only be linked to one yuu account (which must be your own), and once a yuu account is linked, it cannot be unlinked.
Convert Max Miles to KrisFlyer miles at 1:1 ratio
The HeyMax x yuu partnership creates the possibility of converting Max Miles into KrisFlyer miles, via a two-step process:
- Convert Max Miles to yuu Points
- Convert yuu Points to KrisFlyer miles
Under normal circumstances, the prevailing conversion ratios would mean 1 Max Mile = 0.83 KrisFlyer miles. But with 20% milesback in play, the ratio becomes 1:1 (technically 1: 1.04 miles).

Should you be doing this?
While Iโm sure thereโll be many who have eagerly awaited the opportunity to convert Max Miles into KrisFlyer miles, Iโm not one of them.
Max Miles can be converted to 28 airline and hotel loyalty programmes at a 1:1 ratio, without any fees.

Given this incredible versatility, I feel itโs a waste to convert them into garden variety KrisFlyer miles. You could enjoy Business Class sweet spots to Europe and North America with EVA Air Infinity MileageLands. You could fly First Class to Japan with American AAdvantage. You could accumulate incredibly rare (in Singapore, at least) World of Hyatt points. I could go onโ and in fact I have, in this post.
Or, to put it another way:

Even if you donโt have a critical mass of Max Miles for a redemption with one of these programmes, Max Miles can also be cashed out for 2 cents each via FlyAnywhere, with a minimum redemption of 1,000 Max Miles. All you need to do is submit a recent commercial air ticket on any airline, to anywhere in the world.
HeyMax FlyAnywhere guide: Redeem Max Miles for any seat, any airline, anywhere
This effectively sets a baseline value for Max Miles, and you shouldnโt be converting them to KrisFlyer unless you value a KrisFlyer mile at more than 2 cents.
But in spite of my protestations, Iโm sure thereโll still be those who want to go down the KrisFlyer route. If thatโs you, just make sure you get it done today.
20% milesback on voucher redemptions
In addition to yuu Points conversions, HeyMax users will also receive 20% milesback on all voucher redemptions.
The regular value offered for voucher redemptions is 1 cent per Max Mile, so 20% milesback improves that to 1.25 cents.
However, HeyMax also offers flash deals on selected vouchers, so you could achieve an even higher value by stacking the two. For example, a S$300 Pelago gift card is currently being offered for 27,000 Max Miles, so with 20% milesback the nett cost is reduced to 21,600 Max Miles, or 1.39 cents each.
Still, I donโt feel this is particularly lucrative, since the presence of FlyAnywhere means that you shouldnโt be accepting anything less than 2 cents per Max Mile.
Conclusion
On 25 June 2025 only, HeyMax users can enjoy 20% milesback on conversions of Max Miles to yuu Points. This also allows for 1:1 transfers between Max Miles and KrisFlyer miles, and if thatโs what you want to do, todayโs the day to do it.
I would personally rather keep my Max Miles for โexoticโ points currencies that are hard (or impossible) to earn with credit cards in Singapore. And even if not, Iโd sooner choose to cash them out via FlyAnywhere, since my KrisFlyer mile valuation is lower than the 2 cents Iโd otherwise receive.
Users can also enjoy 20% milesback on voucher redemptions, but again thereโs little reason to do this with FlyAnywhere offering better value.
Hi MileLion, Iโd like to ask why are you using the HeyMax Virtual Card for them to buy miles, especially when those miles are so valuable that you could purchase them yourself through other programs like BA or AA, where buying miles directly is already a good deal? Doesnโt this reduce your own ability to fully take advantage of those opportunities?
I think the former of 1-1 is much better. With the current it eats into our ability to buy miles for better comfort. Especially for AA and AS
I am not able to accumulate Max miles quick enough yet to be able to get somethingโฆ.
With vouchers purchases and purchases from some websites etc so far only slightly above 20k. lol
Iโve given up on HeyMax โ signed up with them mid last year, I started getting miles for my bus rides, and suddenly that stopped (no change to my credit card). Created a ticket with their support, and 5 weeks later still no response.
