Krisflyer miles redemption

[zumaba]

I still don't know what is $1c/mile.

The answers are on the Krisflyer website.

You can pay partial miles + $ only when you have at least half the number of KrisFlyer miles required for an award flight or upgrade. Buy the rest at US$40 (or an equivalent amount in your local currency) for every 1,000 miles.

No, you won’t earn KrisFlyer miles when you redeem them for an award ticket.

To answer your last question, basically mileage are accrual, technically 'free' from purchased flights, hotel stays, etc. You use something obtained 'free' to 'pay'/redeem for a 'free' mileage ticket and you want to accrual miles on something that is 'free'. I have not come across any airline that does this.

only in recent years that people can buy partial miles for their flights redemption and also from credit card spending, etc. mileage accrual was started with the intention of loyalty, rewarding frequent flyers and encouraging them to fly within the alliance. so it's basically free miles to redeem free flights. does it make sense to accrue free miles on free flights redeemed with free miles?

1, It seems you din know there is an option to use miles to pay to buy your SIA ticket. You need to explore to understand what is $1c/mile.

2. As for what you repeated for "it make sense to accrue free miles on free flights redeemed with free miles?", it is just funny.

Lets' use the example you given, Ie, you use 15,000 miles for a SG-KL-SG redemption ticket. Let's say SIA allow you to earn mileage accrual on your redemption ticket, what "logics" tell you SIA will award you 15,000 miles on your SG-KL-SG flight?

This thread is all about using miles to pay for air tickets, no?

Did you read my post? I wrote 'You can pay partial miles + $ only when you have at least half the number of KrisFlyer miles required for an award flight or upgrade. ' It works out to be USD$0.04/mile.or USD4cents/mile

2. As for what you repeated for "it make sense to accrue free miles on free flights redeemed with free miles?", it is just funny.

Did you conveniently miss out the word 'does'?

I never imply that you will get a 15,000 miles accrual on a SG-KL-SG flight. I said something along the line, 'free' mileage accrual on 'free'/mileage redemption. A SG-KL flight mileage accrual is probably less than 200 miles. What doesn't make sense is accruing mileage on 'free' tickets.

No, for the option I mentioned, it got nothing to do with "for an award flight or upgrade. It works out to be USD 0.04/mile or USD 4cents/mile".

Sorry, it seems you keep talking on something you din understand.

You need to follow my instruction to try out then get back to talk again.

You kept talking "get X (mileage) back for X (mileage) redeemed" again and again, now you denied.

Anyway, why it is so not logical to you that if you use 15,000 miles to redeem a SG-KL-SG flight, and SIA let you earn something like 200 mileage accrual as you mentioned?

After all, you spent a lot of money to earn the 15,000 miles, not steal, right?

After all, I am just simply asking if a redemption ticket can earn any mileage accrual or not, right?

where all these bullshxt "logic" coming from?

SIA's A380 biz class is getting a refresh to the newer one found on the 777 next year. http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2015/05/21/singapore-airlines-to-introduce-new-a380-suites-business-class-in-2017/

Never tried the longhaul business class before but I read some still prefer the old one. I guess it comes down to preference.

Yes Expedia has a field for you to enter your membership number. I've never booked the from Zuji before so cannot comment on this.

Regardless, once you've made your booking and found that your membership number is not there, you should be able to enter your membership number via a) manage booking on Silkair website, b) calling call centre, and c) during check in, be it online check in or physical check in at airport.

Yes I did get the miles.it is credited to my krisflyer account directly. But it take quite a while.

 

[purplewave]

room prices are higher when you book with pointMAX i.e. KF miles and other miles etc. I don't do that with my personal bookings but company booking i usually couldn't be bothered
