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.
