If you’re already spending on dining or shopping, you really need to check out Kris+—Singapore Airlines’ lifestyle rewards app. It lets you earn KrisFlyer miles on everyday purchases, with no conversion fees and instant 1:1 transfers to your KrisFlyer account.
Stack Rewards Like a Pro
The best part? You can double dip by linking Kris+ to your credit card. That means you earn KrisFlyer miles through Kris+, plus cashback or miles from your credit card—all from the same transaction.
Yes, it’s a true double dip. And who doesn’t love that?
A payment via Kris+ is registered as:
- an online transaction
- mobile wallet payment (so from the app, you will be led to pay via Apple Pay or Google Pay)
- processed with a merchant category code (MCC) based on the actual store (as if you paid in-person)
So, choosing a card that rewards Kris+ transactions, online spending, or that specific MCC is quite important.
How to Link Your Credit Card to Kris+:
- Download the Kris+ app using this referral link to get 750 KrisPay miles (worth S$5)
- Link your credit card via Apple Pay or Google Pay within the app
- When paying, select Apple Pay or Google Pay and use your linked card
