The new Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max hit stores yesterday, and as expected, Cupertino’s latest and greatest will set you back a pretty penny.
The cheapest model starts from S$1,899 and tops out at an eye-watering S$3,899 for the fully-loaded trim. If you want a top-of-the-line iPhone Duo — set to launch on 23 October 2026 — be prepared to part with S$4,899, or even more if you opt for add-ons like AppleCare+. Hey, God gave you two kidneys for a reason…

If you’re planning to place your orders soon, KrisShop.com is now offering 1,000 bonus miles to KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit Cardholders who spend at least S$1,000 on selected Apple products in a single transaction, before 30 September 2026.
However, there’s a redemption cap of 500 customers, so you’ll need to move quickly.
KrisFlyer UOB Cards offering 1,000 bonus miles on selected Apple products
 |
| Details |
From 18-30 September 2026, KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit Cardholders will earn 1,000 bonus miles when they spend at least S$1,000 on eligible Apple products on KrisShop, in a single transaction.
- An overall redemption quota of 500 transactions applies
- The redemption quota started at 8 a.m on 18 September 2026
- The minimum spend includes purchases of AppleCare+, provided it’s added to the cart before checkout
- Only valid for KrisShop.com purchases delivered to a Singapore address. Purchases made on Kris+ are ineligible, as are pre-orders to flight, inflight purchases and orders through the KrisShop order form
- Any amounts paid with KrisFlyer miles, KrisShop e-Gift cards or KrisShop/Singapore Airlines eVouchers will not count towards the minimum spend
- Purchases made via Atome are ineligible
1,000 bonus miles are worth S$15-20, so it shouldn’t really be a decisive factor in buying a new phone. But if you’ve decided to pull the trigger already, you might as well earn all the miles you can.
When browsing Apple products on KrisShop, do remember that the prices shown are before GST.
For example, an Apple iPhone 18 Pro 256GB is listed at S$1,742.20, but once the 9% GST is added, the price becomes S$1,899. Apple products, as you probably know, are strictly price-controlled, so retailers can’t undercut each other.
While there’s an overall redemption quota of 500 transactions, there is no customer-level cap. Therefore, if you’re buying two Apple products, each more than S$1,000, split them into two purchases for a chance of earning 2x 1,000 miles gifts.
Finally, do note that the minimum spend is before shipping and taxes, so your card will actually be charged at least S$1,090 (S$1,000 + 9% GST).
What Apple products are eligible?
Here’s where things get a bit fuzzy. According to the T&Cs, “this Promotion is valid only for transactions for the purchase of selected Apple products on KrisShop.com which have been indicated as eligible for this Promotion”.
But the listings don’t carry any kind of label that indicates whether they’re eligible. I would assume that whatever you find on the promotion’s landing page is kosher, such as the Apple iPhone 18 Pro, Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple AirPods 5, as well as accessories.
You shouldn’t expect to earn the 1,000 bonus miles on other products like Apple iPads or MacBooks.
When will bonus miles be credited?
Bonus miles will be credited by 31 December 2026.
However, their accrual date will be backdated to the last day of the promotion period, i.e. 30 September 2026. This means they’ll expire on 30 September 2029, so you have slightly less than the usual three years to redeem them.
Stack additional miles from KrisShopper
While the 1,000 bonus miles isn’t guaranteed, you can definitely earn extra miles on your Apple purchases with the free-to-join KrisShopper programme.

The entry-level status grants 2 mpd on all purchases, 0.5 mpd more than a non-KrisShopper customer. This can increase to as high as 4 mpd as you move up the ranks with spending.
How many miles can you earn?
The KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card earns an uncapped 3 mpd on KrisShop purchases, with no minimum spend necessary.
Here’s an illustration of the miles earned on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, assuming the base 256GB configuration and KrisShopper Member status.

There are other credit cards that earn more than 3 mpd with KrisShop, such as the Citi Rewards Card or DBS Woman’s World Card. However, their 4 mpd rates are capped at just S$1,000 per month, and drop to 0.4 mpd after that. Therefore, you should still come out ahead with the KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card.
