Kris+ is offering a new boosted miles earning rate at 10 of its merchants over the next seven days, which means a total accrual of up to 13 mpd when you spend with a 4 mpd credit card at these partners, stackable with other benefits like discounts and advance voucher purchases in some cases.

Here’s how the deal works and which merchants are participating this time round.

Kris+ Miles Rush Week

For transactions made at 10 merchants across Singapore over the next seven days, between 10am SGT on 23rd September 2024 and 10am SGT on 30th September 2024, an additional 3 mpd will be instantly awarded over the usual accrual rates when you make a purchase using the app.

Here’s the list of participating partners and the new earn rates in force during this promotional period.

Kris+ Miles Rush Week

Merchant	Regular rate	Promo rate (23-30 Sep 2024)
Chez Vous	3 mpd	6 mpd
Edith Patisserie	6 mpd	9 mpd
En Dining	3 mpd	6 mpd
Gyutan-Tan	6 mpd	9 mpd
Kind Kones	5 mpd	8 mpd
Le Petit Society	3 mpd	6 mpd
Mrs Pho	6 mpd	9 mpd
Shunji Matsuo	3 mpd	6 mpd
Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles	3 mpd	6 mpd
Workspace Grains and Cafe	6 mpd	9 mpd

The bonus earn rate already reflects in the Kris+ app for these merchants when you make your purchase.

Stack with other promotions

You can also stack this enhanced miles earning with discounts, promotions and advance voucher purchases at some of these merchants.

For example, at Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles, you can take advantage of this current 6 mpd earn rate (3 mpd regular + 3 mpd promo) to buy a S$30 cash voucher for a discounted cost of S$27, which you can then redeem over the next three months.

Which card to use for Kris+ purchases

Many bonus credit cards in Singapore earn at their top rate for Kris+ transactions, either for all spend or for purchases in selected Merchant Category Codes (MCCs).

For some cards it’s a little complicated, because the payment you make in-app will tag under the merchant’s MCC, so you’ll need to be confident it qualifies prior to your purchase, but there are some cards that earn at their top rate for all Kris+ spend too.

Here’s how some of these cards earn for Kris+ payments, within their monthly spend caps. You can check the MCC with the merchant in advance of your payment if necessary, though some are obvious (like restaurants – 5812).

Don’t use your Citi Rewards card to make payment with Apple Pay or Google Pay on Kris+, since online transactions these cards specifically exclude mobile wallet payments, and will therefore earn at the basic rate of 0.4 mpd.

Over 400 year-round Kris+ earning options

If you’re not using Kris+ to earn additional miles for dining, retail, wellness or other goods and services in Singapore, then you’re potentially missing out on thousands of additional KrisFlyer miles each year.

The “lifestyle app” has progressively extended its reach across many popular (and admittedly some less well-known) outlets right across the country over the last few years.

Here’s our latest list of all Kris+ merchants and their respective regular earn rates, before credit card points and miles are accounted for.

Kris+ is offering a bonus 3 mpd KrisPay miles, fully transferable to KrisFlyer miles, when you make purchases at 10 merchants across Singapore over the next week.

This boosts regular earn rates from as little as 3 mpd up to 9 mpd in some cases, which stack with credit card points of up to 4 mpd on top of that, depending on which card you use.
