From 1-31 October 2025, the following Kris+ merchants will have their earn rates upsized to 9 mpd. 

No registration is necessary, and there is no cap on the maximum miles you can earn under this promotion. The upsized rates should already be reflected in the Kris+ by default at participating merchants.

In addition to the upsized earn rates, some of these partners are offering additional perks for Kris+ users, including: 

• 10% off bill at TONITO Latin American Kitchen

• 20% off S$100 cash voucher for BAKALAKI Greek Taverna

Earning miles via Kris+

Earning miles at Kris+ merchants is simple. All you need to do is: 

1. Scan the merchant’s Kris+ QR code (which is now part of SGQR)
2. Enter the amount to be paid, and press “Pay” 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.

Don’t forget to transfer any KrisPay miles earned to KrisFlyer within 21 days of the transaction, in their entirety. If you wait longer than 21 days, or spend any of the accrued miles, the balance will be stuck in Kris+. Miles in Kris+ expire after six months, and can only be spent at a rate of 100 miles = S$1.

A big “Transfer to KrisFlyer” button appears after every transaction. Alternatively, you can turn on the new auto-transfer feature, which will automatically deposit any miles earned from Kris+ into your KrisFlyer account.

What card should I use to pay?

Kris+ transactions code as online spend, and generally retain the same MCC as the underlying merchant (with some very limited exceptions).

The following cards are the safest to use, as they’re MCC-agnostic. So long as you transact on Kris+, you’ll earn up to 4 mpd, on top of the Kris+ miles.
