Kris+ is offering a new boosted miles earning rate of 9 mpd at over 40 of its merchants during the whole month of October 2025, which of course means a total accrual of up to 13 mpd when you spend with a 4 mpd credit card at these partners, often stackable with other benefits like discounts and advance voucher purchases in some cases.

Here’s how the deal works, and which of the programme’s dining and retail merchants are participating.

Kris+ Birthday Bash

To celebrate the 5th birthday of Kris+ this month, earn transactions made at over 40 merchants across Singapore between 1st October 2025 and 31st October 2025 will accrue an upsized rate of 9 mpd in total, instantly awarded instead of the usual accrual rates when you make a purchase using the app.

Here’s the full list of 43 participating partners for the month.

The merchants with the lowest year-round earn rates of 2 mpd are having their accrual hiked by a total of 7 mpd to the 9 mpd level during this promotion, while those usually earning 6 mpd are hiked by only 3 mpd – though that’s still a 50% boost.

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

Don’t forget that three Kris+ merchants continue to earn 9 mpd year-round, in addition to the list above:

• COMO Cuisine
• The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar
• Torino Subito

Indeed Kris+ markets this deal as 9 mpd “at >45 partners”, without pointing out that three of them always earn at this level! Only 43 partners are actually getting a bonus (44 if you include Pelago).

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).

Bonus cards Kris+ earning

Card	Earn Rate	Notes / MCCs
UOB Lady’s UOB Lady’s Solitaire	4 mpd	Capped at S$1,000 per month (Lady’s) or S$750 per month (Lady’s Solitaire). Subject to your specified quarterly bonus category, including:
		Dining:	MCC 5499 MCC 5812 MCC 5814
		Beauty:	MCC 5977 MCC 7230 MCC 7297 MCC 7298
		Fashion:	MCC 5621 MCC 5651 MCC 5661 MCC 5691 MCC 5699 MCC 5948
HSBC Revolution (see our review)	4 mpd	On mobile wallet payments at specific outlets by MCC, capped at S$1,000 per calendar month.
		MCC 3501 MCC 5045 MCC 5462 MCC 5621 MCC 5651 MCC 5661 MCC 5691 MCC 5699 MCC 5732	MCC 5734 MCC 5812 MCC 5944 MCC 5945 MCC 5947 MCC 5948 MCC 5992 MCC 5999 MCC 7011 MCC 7997
DBS WWMC (see our review)	4 mpd	On on up to S$1,000 of online spend per calendar month, including when paying at a merchant using Apple Pay or Google Pay via the Kris+ app (all MCCs).
OCBC Rewards (see our review)	4 mpd	On shopping transactions in specific MCCs, capped at S$1,110 per calendar month.
		MCC 5309 MCC 5621 MCC 5651 MCC 5655 MCC 5661	MCC 5691 MCC 5699 MCC 5941 MCC 5948
KrisFlyer UOB (see our review)	3 mpd	On all Kris+ spend, with no minimum and no upper cap.

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 500 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 9 mpd earn rate, fully transferable to KrisFlyer miles, when you make purchases at over 40 merchants across Singapore during October 2025.

This boosts regular earn rates from as little as 2 mpd up to 9 mpd, which then stacks with credit card points of up to 4 mpd on top of that, depending on which card you use.

It’s a great deal to take advantage of if any of these merchants are places where you make regular spend, or could be of interest to you.
