Kris+ has a new bonus miles earning promotion running between now and 30th June at 42 restaurants across Singapore, with a rate of 10 KrisPay miles per dollar on offer, in addition to the miles or points you’ll earn using your credit card for the payment itself.
That means earning up to 14 mpd in total during the promotion, a veritable feast of miles if one or more of your preferred restaurants has made the list, not to mention 100 or 150 additional miles just for making the reservation in advance, for 28 out of the 42 options.
All KrisPay miles earned can be immediately (and instantly) converted into KrisFlyer miles, which is exactly what you should be doing with them, so do be sure to transfer straight away and in full after settling your bill using the app.

While the bonus on offer varies from 1 mpd to 7 mpd, in all cases the total 10 mpd earn rate is shown in the Kris+ app and will be awarded instantly on payment of the bill.
The latest 10 mpd deal isn’t quite as generous as previous bonus miles offers for selected dining partners using Kris+, which have included:
- 15 mpd with the Kris+ Gastronomy Series in May 2022, at 20 restaurants
- 12 mpd with a dining offer in February 2023, at 13 restaurants
- 12 mpd with the Kris+ Gastronomy Series in May 2023, at 14 restaurants
On the plus side, the wider 42-strong merchant list this time round is the largest we’ve seen for a bonus miles dining offer with Kris+, so there’s a better chance of seeing a restaurant or bar of interest on the list.
Additional discounts
Kris+ is also offering additional discounts at some of these 42 dining partners during this promotion.
These include discounted cash vouchers that you can purchase via the app in advance of your visit to offset the bill, with 10 mpd earning when you buy the voucher itself.
For a full list of deals, see this dedicated page of the Singapore Airlines website.
Which card to use
As you probably already know, with Kris+ you’ll earn KrisPay miles for your transaction (which you then can and should convert into KrisFlyer miles), on top of the usual points you’ll get when using your best credit card to make in-app payment.
Where possible, you’ll want to be using a credit card offering a 4 mpd bonus rate when making payment at these restaurants, or via mobile wallets, which you’ll then earn separately and in addition to 10 mpd through Kris+.
The following cards will earn at their bonus rate of between 3 mpd and 4 mpd for spend in the specific dining MCCs listed.
| Card | Earn Rate |
Notes / MCCs | |
 HSBC Revolution(see our review) |
4 mpd | On mobile wallet payments at specific dining outlets by MCC, capped at S$1,000 per calendar month. |

MCC 5812 MCC 5813 |

UOB Lady’s SolitaireDon’t use your Citi Rewards card to make payment with Apple Pay or Google Pay on Kris+, since online transactions using this card specifically exclude mobile wallet payments and will therefore earn at the basic rate of 0.4 mpd.
Still unsure?
If you’re not sure whether your bonus miles credit card is eligible for the merchant of your choice, our advice is to use your best card for general spend miles accrual, especially if the transaction is substantial.
For smaller amounts you may wish to take the chance, but remember most bonus category spend credit cards earn just 0.4 mpd when you make transactions that the bank decides don’t qualify.
Don’t forget to transfer straight to KrisFlyer miles
KrisPay miles earned through Kris+ can only be transferred to your KrisFlyer account within 7 days of the transaction. To do so, simply tap on the “Transfer to KrisFlyer” button which will appear on the miles earned confirmation screen or transaction details screen.
You can do so later (within 7 days), but why wait?
Remember that KrisPay miles earned per transaction can only be transferred to your account in their entirety. If you earned 100 KrisPay miles from a single Kris+ transaction, for example, the full 100 KrisPay miles must be transferred to your KrisFlyer account. If you have already spent some of your KrisPay miles earned, a partial transfer option is not available.
We therefore recommend transferring to KrisFlyer immediately following any Kris+ earning transaction, in case you either forget or make a mistake later.
Up to 150 extra miles with reservation portals
KrisFlyer recently launched a partnership with restaurant reservation portal Quandoo, and currently there’s a 50% bonus miles promotion ongoing for bookings made and completed through to 27th May 2024.
That’s good news because it means netting an additional 150 KrisFlyer miles just for booking and attending the reservation itself, but sadly it’s only possible at 10 of the 42 participating restaurants in the latest Kris+ 10 mpd deal:
- Alma by Juan Amador
- Anglo Indian Café & Bar
- Cheeselads
- Eden Restaurant
- Georges
- L’Entrecote
- Riviera
- Sabio
- Sushi Jiro PARKROYAL Marina Bay
- Tajine Moroccan Tapas & Cocktail Bar
Kris+ has also has its own Makan+ restaurant reservation portal powered by Chope.
This allows you to accrue 100 KrisPay miles (which can be converted into KrisFlyer miles) for each attended reservation year-round, including 27 of the 42 participating in this 10 mpd promotion:
- Alma by Juan Amador (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Anglo Indian Café & Bar (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Asian Market Café Fairmont
- Bangkok Jam
- Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery
- Cheeselads (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Chingu Dining
- Clove
- Eden Restaurant (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Georges (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Issho izakaya
- Joo Bar
- JU95
- Kagura Singapore
- L’Entrecote (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Riviera (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Ryan’s Kitchen
- Sabio (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- SO France Bistro
- Suki-Ya KIN
- Sushi Jiro PARKROYAL Marina Bay (but use Quandoo till 27 May)
- Tajimaya Yakiniku
- Tanglin Cookhouse
- Tanoke
- TungLok Seafood
- TungLok Signatures
- Wa-EN Wagyu Yakiniku
Both of these methods are a no-brainer if you’re thinking of dining at one of these outlets between now and the end of June 2024, with the reservation miles plus the 10 mpd via Kris+ payment plus up to 4 mpd on your credit card potentially adding up to a serious stash.
For example, if you book a table between now and 27th May 2024 at L’Entrecote via Quandoo (having linked your KrisFlyer account to your Quandoo account) and spend S$200 on dinner using your DBS WWMC card via Kris+, you’ll receive:
- 150 KrisFlyer miles for attending the reservation
- 2,000 KrisFlyer miles for payment via the Kris+ app
- 800 KrisFlyer miles from your DBS Points for the payment itself
That’s a total of 2,950 KrisFlyer miles for a S$200 dinner – equivalent to nearly 15 mpd!
Earn Elite miles or PPS Value for Kris+ spend
Remember that between 5th March 2024 and 4th June 2024 you can earn status credits (Elite miles or PPS Value) for Kris+ spend, as part of SIA’s “Earn Status Credits Beyond the Skies” campaign, potentially helping you climb the KrisFlyer status ladder.
This also stacks with the current 10 mpd dining promotion.
Earn Status Credits Beyond the Skies
| Current Membership | Earn Rate | Cap |
 KrisFlyer |
1 Elite mile per S$1 spent |
5,000 Elite miles |
 PPS Club |
1 PPS Value per S$3 spent |
2,500 PPS Value |
Summary
A great bonus earning rate of 10 mpd for 42 restaurants across Singapore between now and the end of June 2024, when you pay in-app via Kris+ to earn additional miles at the payment stage.
These will come in addition to the points you’ll earn on your credit card, for a total haul of 14 mpd at the top level, but even with a decent general spend card offering 1.2 mpd on local transactions, you can still net a respectable 11.2 mpd during this offer.
28 of these restaurants even offer pre-booking through Makan+ or Quandoo, for 100 or 150 additional KrisFlyer miles per attended reservation.
Remember to transfer your KrisPay miles immediately into the KrisFlyer programme after earning, since if they become partially used by mistake or you forget after 7 days, they’ll be stuck in the Kris+ app, where their value is dismal.
Even if none of the 42 restaurants participating in this promotion are of interest to you, remember that Kris+ now has over 430 earning partners across Singapore for in-store transactions, awarding anywhere from 0.5 mpd to 9 mpd earn rates, so you should be regularly picking up additional miles this way at various F&B, fashion, retail and electronics stores.
