How to Transfer KrisFlyer Miles In 3 Simple Steps

Recognized as the 'World's Best Airline,' Singapore Airlines is known for exceeding customer expectations. From their first-class suites to their personalized approach, Singapore Airlines continues to win awards for its exceptional product and service.

The KrisFlyer frequent flyer program is one of the many perks enjoyed by loyal Singapore Airlines customers. But like any frequent flyer program, there are restrictions and procedures you must follow when transferring miles. Read on to discover how you can transfer KrisFlyer miles in just three simple steps.

How Does the KrisFlyer Membership Program Work?

KrisFlyer is Singapore Airlines’ frequent flyer program. Membership is free, and most people can complete the signup process in just a minute or two. There are three main factors that determine how many miles you earn.

Distance Flown

The KrisFlyer program is similar to frequent flyer programs offered by many other airlines. The longer the distance you fly, the more miles you are eligible to earn.

The Type Of Fare Purchased

When you purchase flights with a premium cabinet class, you earn miles at an accelerated rate. For example, First Class and Business Class tickets will yield more miles than Economy Standard tickets.

Elite Status

Singapore Airlines offers multiple membership tiers. As you achieve these tiers, you become eligible to earn bonus points and other perks when you fly. KrisFlyer membership levels are as follows:

• KrisFlyer: As KrisFlyer's basic membership level, it allows you to start earning and redeeming rewards.
• KrisFlyer Elite Silver: You earn Silver Elite status after earning 25,000 miles over 12 consecutive months.
• KrisFlyer Elite Gold: You earn Gold Elite status after you earn 50,000 miles over 12 consecutive months.

Special perks include reduced or waived service fees, priority reservation waitlist and standby, and bonuses on KrisFlyer Miles you earn by flying with Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and SilkAir. Gold members are eligible for priority boarding and baggage handling, plus Star Alliance Gold lounge access.

How Much Are KrisFlyer Miles Worth?

KrisFlyer miles are worth roughly 1 to 1.4 cents per mile. The exact value depends on how you choose to use your miles. In general, KrisFlyer miles tend to be worth more when they are used to purchase First Class or Premium cabin seating.

Here are how KrisFlyer miles compare to other travel partners:

What Are Some Reasons to Consider Transferring KrisFlyer Miles?

Prior to transferring KrisFlyer miles, it's wise to make sure it makes financial sense to explore a transfer. Here are three of the top reasons why KrisFlyer members may decide to part with miles:

1. You would like to close your KrisFlyer account and do not intend to fly Singapore Airlines in the near future.
2. Your health or physical condition prevents you from traveling by air, so you will not be able to use any miles.
3. You have a child who has accumulated miles and you would like to use those miles yourself on an upcoming trip.

Transfer activity can also keep a KrisFlyer account current and valid. KrisFlyer terms and conditions specify that accounts with no activity for 36 months will expire. And if a new KrisFlyer account has no activity for 18 months since the date of enrollment, the account will expire.

How Can You Transfer KrisFlyer Miles On Your Own?

The KrisFlyer program allows you to transfer KrisFlyer miles to family members. As a KrisFlyer member, you are able to transfer miles from your child's account to your account. You are able to transfer up to 50,000 miles as long as your child is under the age of 16 and you have established a parental link.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Make sure you and your child are both signed up as KrisFlyer rewards members.
2. Log into your child's KrisFlyer account.
3. Go to the 'Personal Details' page of your child's account and turn on the 'Parental Link.' Check your email for an invitation to link accounts.
4. Accept the invitation.
5. Complete the transfer by going to 'Miles → Transfer child's miles.'
