In December last year, Kris+ added KrisShop as an earning partner, allowing customers to shop directly from the Kris+ app. To celebrate the tie-up, users could earn 9 mpd on KrisShop purchases made via Kris+, in addition to up to 4 mpd from their credit cards.
Kris+ has now brought the promotion back again for the month of March.
Earn 9 mpd on KrisShop via Kris+
From 2-31 March 2022, customers will earn 9 mpd on KrisShop purchases made via the Kris+ app, with no cap on the maximum miles that can be earned.
As a reminder, KrisShop via Kris+ only works for purchases to a Singapore address, and does not (yet) support the 10% discount for PPS Club members or PPS Club gift voucher redemption. The selection of items may also be smaller than what you’d normally find on KrisShop.com
A summary of the differences between shopping on KrisShop.com and KrisShop via Kris+ can be found below.

A link to KrisShop can be at the top of the Kris+ app homepage.
Checkouts must be done via in-app payments, using American Express, Mastercard or Visa cards linked to Apple Pay or Google Pay.
While it was initially possible to earn miles on GST and shipping when KrisShop via Kris+ first launched, that bug has been corrected, and you’ll only earn miles on the pre-tax, pre-shipping amount going forward.
Don’t forget to transfer any miles earned on Kris+ to your KrisFlyer account immediately. If you wait more than seven days, these miles will be stuck inside Kris+, where they expire after 6 months, and can only be spent at a puny 0.67 cents each!
What card should you use for KrisShop?
KrisShop purchases with code as MCC 5309 Duty Free Stores, even if you pay via Kris+.
Using the following cards will earn you an additional 4 mpd, creating the opportunity to clock up to 13 mpd on your purchases.
| Card | Earn Rate | Remarks |
 DBS Woman’s World Card |
4 mpd | Cap S$2K per c. month |
 UOB Pref. Plat Visa |
4 mpd | Cap S$1.1K per c. month |
 HSBC Revolution |
4 mpd | Cap S$1K per c. month |
 KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card |
3 mpd^ | No cap |
| ^Subject to min. spend of S$500 per year with SIA Group S. Month= Statement Month | C. Month= Calendar Month |
||
| ❓ Not quite 13 mpd |
| While you will earn 4 mpd on the gross purchase amount charged to your card, remember that 9 mpd from Kris+ is only awarded on the pre-tax, pre-shipping amount. Therefore, your actual earn rate will be just shy of 13 mpd |
Do not use the Citi Rewards if you’re shopping on KrisShop via Kris+. Citibank excludes in-app mobile wallet transactions from earning 4 mpd, so you’ll earn a puny 0.4 mpd instead (however, there’s no issue with using the Citi Rewards when shopping on KrisShop.com).
Conclusion

| S$5 for new Kris+ Users (W644363) |
Kris+ has brought back its lucrative 9 mpd offer on KrisShop purchases for the month of March. While I’m not convinced that every item on KrisShop represents a great deal, the prospect of earning 13 mpd on your purchases (once credit card miles are factored in) may help offset some of the higher prices.
This runs concurrently with the 9 mpd offer at almost 300 dining and shopping merchants across Singapore, so there’s plenty of hay to be made with Kris+ at the moment.
Does this happen to anyone? I have 10 cards registered with Google Pay but every time I try paying on Kris+, only 5 random cards will be available for selection in Google Pay and the other 5 are greyed out with the message “not accepted here”. Very frustrating when my preferred card cannot be used.
Krisshop not the cheapest place to shop and takes a bit of time to find the decent deals…if any. Nevertheless still a decent offer of up to 13 mpd excluding GST. Used to be an even better deal with Elite miles and PPSValue. However, it has drop a notch without such shorter term enhancements.
