Singapore Airlines’ Klook-like experiences and activities portal Pelago has been pushing some aggressive bonus miles earning deals over recent months, allowing KrisFlyer members to net up to 10 mpd for booking plus up to a further 4 mpd using the right credit card, for up to 14 mpd in total.

That generosity is almost back again this month for those booking activities via the Kris+ app, with 9 mpd on offer for any number of bookings locked in by 31st October 2025.

As usual, this rate combines with up to an additional 4 , for 13 mpd total earning, when combined with your credit card bonuses.

Pelago bookings made via the Kris+ app between 1st October 2025 and 31st October 2025 will earn a bonus rate of 9 mpd, instead of the year-round 3 mpd, and also Pelago’s own year-round 3 mpd earn rate for direct bookings via its website or mobile app.

With up to 4 mpd when making payment using a bonus miles-earning credit card, subject to your monthly spend limits, that’s up to 13 mpd total earning for these experiences, which can be future-dated.

Unfortunately, however, miles accrued for Pelago bookings via Kris+ are no longer instant since August 2025, and instead will be credited one day after your activity has been completed – so this is no longer a method to achieve a quick miles top-up (unlike other Kris+ spend).

You can now book any Pelago activity worldwide and pay using the Kris+ app. To search and book, you’ll need to have the latest version of the app installed (Apple | Google).

Simply click the new Pelago link at the top of the screen after you launch the app.

You will still need to log in to (or create) a Pelago account in order to make a booking.

Once you select your activity and proceed to pay, you’ll be redirected back to the Kris+ app to make payment.

As you can see, 9 mpd is being offered, before your credit card points come into play.

Activities and experiences available on Pelago include include theme park admission, food and drink tours, wellness treatments and museum tickets, with over 200,000 packages currently available.

Pricing ranges from just a few dollars to several thousand, with nearly 500 experiences available here in Singapore alone, even if you don’t have travel plans.

While Kris+ used to award miles instantly for Pelago bookings, like it does for other earn transactions, unfortunately this benefit ceased effective from August 2025.

Now your miles will only be credited one day after your activity has been completed, which is similar to when you book directly via the Pelago website.

Unfortunately, that means a Kris+ Pelago booking isn’t usually a quick way to top up your miles balance any more, unless your activity is in the very near future.

Pelago bookings made via the Kris+ app will revert to the regular year-round 3 mpd rate, the same as when booking via the Pelago website, from 1st November 2025.

That means October 2025 may be a good time to lock in experience bookings, even for future-dated activities, while this 9 mpd deal is on offer.

Pelago’s payment provider uses the following Merchant Category Code (MCC) when processing credit card payments:

MCC 4722 Travel Agencies and Tour Operators

Pelago bookings via Kris+ also qualify as online transactions, allowing you to earn up to an additional 4 mpd through your credit card rewards, for a total of up to 12 mpd during this promotion.

3 mpd For all Kris+ spend, with no upper cap.

Don’t use your Citi Rewards card for Pelago bookings, since MCC 4722 falls under the travel category, specifically excluded from earning the 4 mpd rate for online spend with that card.

It will therefore only earn 0.4 mpd, so it’s probably much better in that case to use your best general spend card, assuming you don’t have one of the above options, or have already hit your monthly bonus cap with these other cards.

Do note that the HSBC Revolution card also no longer awards bonus points for MCC 4722 transactions, since 1st January 2024 – so avoid that one too.

Don’t forget – transfer straight to KrisFlyer miles

Once you’ve earned miles from a Pelago booking via the Kris+ app, or indeed have earned any miles from merchant payment via Kris, always remember to transfer them to KrisFlyer miles.

Why? Well KrisPay miles can only be transferred to your KrisFlyer account within 21 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 21 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.

However, there’s now the option to auto-transfer accrued KrisPay miles to your KrisFlyer account without having to go through these additional clicks.

You can do so via the Wallet > Transfer to KrisFlyer page. Simply enable the ‘Auto-transfer to KrisFlyer’ button as shown above, and the process will be automated whenever you accrue KrisPay miles at a merchant.

Summary

Between 1st October 2025 and 31st October 2025, you’ll net 9 mpd when locking in Pelago experiences worldwide when making payment via the Kris+ app.

That means up to 13 mpd with many popular miles-earning cards on the market in Singapore when you spend within their monthly limits, but also crucially an uncapped 12 mpd with the KrisFlyer UOB credit card.

While this isn’t quite as generous as the initial Pelago x Kris+ 10 mpd launch offer (up to 14 mpd including credit card points), it still provides a solid boost over the usual 3 mpd earn rate.

Therefore if you spot something worthwhile on the Pelago platform, you should consider booking via Kris+ before the end of the month, to maximise your rewards.

  1. Pelago is such a sh*t platform that throws constant errors on both web and app (through Kris+) and nonexistent support. SIA needs to wake up and get their sh*t together, this is far from “world class”
