American Express has a new bonus miles earning offer for successfully registered KrisFlyer co-brand cardholders over the next five months, with an additional 2 miles per dollar on top of your card’s usual earn rate when making recurring bill payments at telco and entertainment brands in Singapore.
The deal includes bills for your Singtel, Disney+ and Spotify accounts, but is limited to the first 12,000 successful enrolments, so it’s worth saving this offer to your card now to take advantage.
The promotion runs from 7th July 2021 to 6th December 2021.
Participating brands
This promotion is available with a number of companies in Singapore. Here’s the full list:
| Telco | Entertainment |

After adding your card to the subscription account, you’ll be charged for your next month’s bill.
You must add your card with sufficient time for it to be charged by 6th December 2021 to be eligible for the offer.
Here are the revised earn rates applicable for spend during the promotion.
Bonus KrisFlyer Miles for Telco, Entertainment and Media Spending
| Card | Regular MPD | Bonus MPD | Total MPD |
 SIA PPS Cards |
1.3 | 2 | 3.3 |
 SIA KF Ascend |
1.2 | 2 | 3.2 |
 SIA KF Blue |
1.1 | 2 | 3.1 |
Note that payments made for M1 Small Business Hub (SME Hub), Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Now are not included in the offer.
Sadly the deal is capped at only 600 bonus KrisFlyer miles per card, which is equivalent to S$300 cumulative spend across these merchants during the promotion period.
Bonus miles will credit directly to your KrisFlyer account, usually within five working days from the transaction, however it can take up to 90 days from the end of the promotion period in some cases (i.e. until 6th March 2022).
Terms and conditions

Summary
If you have regular payments to these telco and entertainment companies in Singapore, you should probably consider shifting your monthly subscriptions across to your KrisFlyer co-brand credit card during this promotion, unless you are channelling this spend through 4 mpd credit cards.
Unfortunately the cap is relatively low at S$300 total spend, but that should mean 600 bonus KrisFlyer miles on the payments you were making anyway.
Meanwhile stay tuned for another everyday spend offer from Amex for the co-brand cards launching later this month, including transactions at Cold Storage and Deliveroo.
