KrisShop can be a good way to earn additional miles throughout the year when you can secure products that are competitively priced, with between 1.5 mpd and 4 mpd KrisFlyer miles accrual on top of your credit card points.

However, the site is rarely a good way to redeem, with a year-round flat rate of 1 cent per mile against purchases – only worth considering if your miles are expiring (and even then, there may be better options!).

While KrisShop has occasionally launched offers with an improved value per mile, for example when you redeem in full for Apple products and selected electrical goods, a new offer this month works out as quite a compelling deal, especially if you have a miles expiry issue looming on your account.

KrisShop 20% off miles redemption promo

Between 10th March 2026 and 31st March 2026, KrisShop is offering 20% off the miles required when you redeem any item site-wide at KrisShop.com, with no minimum spend and no brand exclusions.

That means you’ll only need 80 KrisFlyer miles to offset each S$1 spend, rather than the usual 100 miles.

You can use as little as 1,000 miles or redeem the entire cost of your item, or somewhere in between via a sliding scale, and still benefit from 20% off under this offer, including for discounted items.

This lifts the miles redemption value for a wide range of products from 1 cent to 1.25 cents, a 25% hike, and it’s flexible enough to allow you to cash out only expiring miles in the process, thanks to the sliding scale option.

Assuming the best use of miles – a flight redemption with Singapore Airlines or a partner airline – isn’t one of your options, our recently-updated list starts to look a little sad value-wise.

Redemption value for KrisFlyer miles

* Or the miles quantity you have expiring in a single calendar month, if greater

However, as you can see a KrisShop purchase is currently one of the better “cash out” options between now and 31st March, with a wide range of products available.

The only items at the KrisShop you can’t redeem with miles are e-gift cards.

Do note that products purchased under this promotion are not valid for returns and refunds. Only 1-for-1 product exchanges are allowed.

Full terms and conditions for this promotion are available here.

KrisShop isn’t always the cheapest option

One important thing to consider is that KrisShop isn’t always the cheapest place to source items, with some heavy markups applied in some cases.

Make sure you shop around before committing, to ensure you’re either getting the cheapest deal anyway, or that the miles you are earning by using KrisShop instead of a cheaper alternative outweigh any additional cash cost.

If you can source the item you are looking for cheaper elsewhere, you’re not really getting 1.25 mpd for your miles under this offer, so do shop around first.

One nice exception is when buying price-controlled items like Apple products, which can’t be sourced cheaper elsewhere. For these, you can practically guarantee 1.25 cents per mile during this deal.

Which credit card to use for KrisShop purchases

If you’re sticking to the regular earning method at KrisShop, or making a part miles / part cash purchase under this offer, you will need to pay for the remaining balance by credit card.

KrisShop purchases code under MCC 5309: Duty Free Stores, and that means you can tap into some 4 mpd earn rates with a variety of credit cards, subject to their monthly requirements and spending caps.

Here’s an example of the cards which should give you upwards of 4 mpd for KrisShop.com transactions (KrisShop via Kris+ in-app payment transactions shown separately).

Card	Earn rate		Monthly cap
	KrisShop direct	KrisShop via Kris+
UOB Lady’s	4 mpd	4 mpd	S$1,000 (Lady’s) or S$750 (Lady’s Solitaire) Subject to Travel being chosen as one of your bonus categories
DBS WWMC	4 mpd	4 mpd	S$1,000 per calendar month
Citi Rewards	4 mpd	0.4 mpd	S$1,000 per statement month
HSBC Revo	4 mpd	4 mpd	S$1,000 per calendar month
OCBC Rewards	4 mpd	4 mpd	S$1,110 per calendar month
UOB PPV	4 mpd	4 mpd	S$600 per calendar month
KF UOB	3 mpd	3 mpd	No cap
KF Amex Ascend	2 mpd	1.2 mpd	No cap
KF Amex	2 mpd	1.1 mpd	No cap

Note that the Citi Rewards card should not be used to make in-app payments on Kris+, since mobile wallet payments are specifically excluded from bonus miles earning, regardless of the merchant MCC.

However, using the Citi Rewards card directly at KrisShop.com will attract the card’s 4 mpd bonus rate.

Also note that the KrisFlyer Amex cards don’t earn their 2 mpd KrisShop bonus rate when making KrisShop purchases via the Kris+ app, so do stick to the desktop site with these cards.

KrisShop is offering a 20% discount site-wide for all KrisFlyer miles redemptions, between now and the end of March 2026.

This applies with no brand exclusions (except gift cards), and can be applied to both partial and full miles redemption, potentially allowing you to optimise use of only expiring miles quite nicely.

We are certainly not suggesting that you rush and cash out your miles at 1.25 cents each, but if miles expiry is looming and there’s something you need at the KrisShop – you could do a lot worse,.

Of course, do be sure to shop around before committing to a KrisShop purchase, since it’s not always the cheapest place to source products.

As always though, do try to lock in a flight redemption with your expiring miles if you can – it’s almost always the best value you’ll get.
