Hi all,

I have a question on transferring the miles from my DBS Altitude card to my Krisflyer account. Do I have to sign up for any form of mileage enrollment programme? For HSBC, I had to do a mileage enrollment programme which took days and $$ before I can transfer to my krisflyer.

Details: https://www.hsbc.com.sg/1/PA_ES_Con...gapore/personal/cards/rewards/pdf/mileage.pdf

U do not need to sign up any form for Enrolment. I just transferred my DBS points to krisflyer miles yesterday. All u need to do is Ensure the cardholder name is same as the krisflyer accounts name

is this the better miles card compared to PREMIERMILES or PRVI Miles?

does this card award miles point to all $ spend? or does it exclude certain transaction?

no it's not.. and I don't think there's any card out there that awards points to every single transaction

Can krisflyer miles be used to offset the prices for tickets? Or can it only be used to upgrade or book for (award) tickets?

Can be used to offset cost of ticket fares at roughly 1 cent per mile.

tnc say only those with specific cards can apply for the auto enrol.

For example if i have DBS altitude, will they convert points only from DBS altitude or also from pool of points I got from WWMC?

Called them last month when I converted my points .
for ad-hoc conversion it's known that the points are pooled and using expiring points first..

the question now is about usage of points if enrolled into the new auto conversion programme, which was just introduced a few days ago

Google Milelion website for best credit cards - that has to be your Wikipedia - first source for basics on credit cards for miles. If you have any specific questions, obviously the forum members can pitch in.

looking for a miles card that wont have expiry for points, seems like only dbs altitude and citi premiermiles are possible?

whats the difference between both? i see that citi premier has a higher min income 50k vs dbs 30k, and citi has the welcome offer of 42k miles.

any other key differences that would impact a decision for either card?

If your primary frequent flyer account isn't Krisflyer and/or you prefer more transfer flexibility, refer to the list of transfer partners of both banks - Citibank SG's list is far more comprehensive.
