With the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max hitting Singapore shelves today, UOB has teamed up with KrisShop to offer KrisFlyer UOB cardholders 1,000 bonus KrisFlyer miles when they spend at least S$1,000 on selected Apple products at KrisShop.com until 30th September 2026.
Apple products are price-controlled in Singapore, so you won’t pay a premium for buying through KrisShop rather than the Apple Store or an authorised reseller. That’s not always the case with KrisShop, as we often point out.
Here though, the miles are an actual extra perk, rather than compensation for a marked-up price.
1,000 Bonus KrisFlyer miles on selected Apple Products
Here are the key details of the offer.
| KrisFlyer UOB x KrisShop Apple Promotion | |
| Feature | Details |
| Promotion period | 18 Sep 2026 (08.00h SGT) to 30 Sep 2026 (23.59h SGT) |
| Eligible cards |  KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card or Debit Card |
| Minimum spend | S$1,000 on eligible Apple products in a single transaction (excluding GST, i.e. S$1,090 inc. GST) |
| Bonus | 1,000 KrisFlyer miles per eligible transaction |
| Promotion cap | First 500 eligible transactions |
| Crediting | By 31 Dec 2026 (accrual backdated to Sep 2026) |
How it works
Pay for at least S$1,000 of eligible Apple products in a single KrisShop.com order with your KrisFlyer UOB card while logged into your KrisFlyer account, and you’ll receive 1,000 bonus miles. AppleCare+ counts towards the S$1,000, provided you add it to the Apple product before checkout.
The minimum spend is measured “before shipping & taxes”, and because it is a duty free store, KrisShop displays its prices excluding GST, which is added at checkout. That means you’ll actually need to be charged at least S$1,090 to qualify.
The prices shown at KrisShop look lower than Apple’s, but they aren’t – once GST is added, they match Apple’s own pricing exactly.
There are some important restrictions:
- KrisShop.com only, for delivery to a Singapore address. Purchases made via KrisShop on the Kris+ app are excluded, as are pre-orders to flight, inflight purchases and orders through the KrisShop order form.
- The S$1,000 must be charged to your KrisFlyer UOB card. Any portion paid with KrisFlyer miles, KrisShop e-Gift Cards or KrisShop/SIA eVouchers doesn’t count. That portion also doesn’t earn KrisShop’s usual miles. Paying via Atome won’t qualify either.
- No stacking. The promotion isn’t valid with other KrisShop offers, including promo codes and PPS Club discounts.
Can you earn it more than once?
Yes, it appears so. The bonus is awarded “for each Eligible Transaction”, and no per-member cap is stated. So two separate qualifying orders should earn 2,000 bonus miles, while a single order of the same total earns only 1,000 bonus miles.
If you’re buying more than one qualifying item, split them into separate orders.
For example, buy the iPhone 18 Pro in one order and an Apple Watch Ultra 4 in another.
The catch is the overall limit of 500 eligible transactions across all cardholders, awarded on a first-come-first-served basis. You won’t know whether you made the cut until the miles credit, which could be as late as 31st December 2026.
What’s eligible?
The eligible range is limited to Apple’s latest launches.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5, plus a selection of watch bands and iPhone cases, are all included. There are no iPads or MacBooks in the promotion. iPhone Duo isn’t included either, since it’s not due until October.
Here’s a list of some of the devices you can order that clear the threshold on their own.

| Product | KrisShop Price (ex-GST) |

Qualifies Alone? |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max | From S$1,925.69 | From S$2,099 | Yes |
| iPhone 18 Pro | From S$1,742.20 | From S$1,899 | Yes |
| Apple Watch Ultra 4 (GPS + Cellular) |
S$1,100.00 – S$1,228.44 | S$1,199 – S$1,339 | Yes |
| Apple Watch Series 12 (Ceramic) |
S$1,210.09 – S$1,274.31 | S$1,319 – S$1,389 | Yes |
| Apple Watch Series 12 (Titanium) |
S$962.39 – S$1,090.83 | S$1,049 – S$1,189 | Yes, except 42mm with Sport Band |
| Apple Watch Series 12 (Aluminium) |
S$549.54 – S$806.42 | S$599 – S$879 | No |
| AirPods 5 | From S$182.57 | From S$199 | No |
The watch bands (S$63.30 to S$457.80 ex-GST) and iPhone cases (S$68.81 to S$81.65 ex-GST) are also eligible. That means you can top up a basket that falls just short of the minimum spend relatively easily.
Watch out for the 42mm Titanium Series 12 with Sport Band. At S$962.39 before GST, it misses the threshold by less than S$40, but adding a second band from S$63.30 to the same order takes it over.
How many miles will you earn?
On top of the 1,000 bonus miles, you’ll earn:
- 3 mpd from the KrisFlyer UOB credit card, its uncapped rate on SIA Group spend including KrisShop, on the full amount charged including GST

- 1.5 mpd to 4 mpd from KrisShop, depending on your KrisShopper tier, on the price excluding GST (KrisShop doesn’t award miles on the GST component)
Here’s how that works out by KrisShopper tier, at the minimum qualifying charge of S$1,090 and for the two new iPhone Pros in their base 256GB configurations:

Is it worth it?
1,000 KrisFlyer miles, valued at 1.8 cents each, are worth about S$18. That’s a rebate of about 1.7% at the minimum S$1,090 charge, falling to under 1% on an iPhone 18 Pro.
It’s nice to have, but not a reason to buy an iPhone.
The more interesting question is whether you should use your KrisFlyer UOB card at all, rather than a 4 mpd online spend card like the Citi Rewards Card or DBS Woman’s World Card. KrisShopper miles are the same either way, so the comparison comes down to the card.
The problem is, most 4 mpd cards cap bonus earning at S$1,000 per month, including both of those mentioned above, so anything over that earns just 0.4 mpd. Because GST pushes the minimum qualifying charge to S$1,090, the KrisFlyer UOB card actually comes out ahead of both.
At the S$1,090 minimum:
- Citi Rewards: around 4,036 miles
- KrisFlyer UOB card: 4,270 miles, including the bonus
On an S$1,899 iPhone 18 Pro, the gap is much wider:
- Citi Rewards: around 4,360 miles
- KrisFlyer UOB card: 6,685 miles, including the bonus
For the most part though, including for either Pro iPhone, the KrisFlyer UOB card wins under this deal, and it keeps your 4 mpd caps free for other spending this month.
Other things to note
- Bonus miles will be credited by 31st December 2026, but the accrual date is backdated to 30th September 2026. That’s the date the usual three-year expiry clock runs from.
- If you return or refund the Apple products, KrisShop can claw the bonus miles back. That could apply even to a partial return, so think twice before topping up a basket with bands or cases to meet the minimum, if you’re thinking of sending those items back.
- KrisFlyer UOB Debit Card holders are eligible too. This article focuses on the credit card’s earn rates.
Summary
If you are in the market for a new iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 4 or other eligible Apple kit anyway, there’s a good reason to route it through KrisShop with your KrisFlyer UOB card over the next two weeks.
The price is the same as the Apple Store once GST is added, and you’ll pick up between 9,000 and 15,000 KrisFlyer miles on a new iPhone Pro, depending on your KrisShopper tier.
Just make sure you:
- shop on KrisShop.com, not via Kris+
- stay logged into your KrisFlyer account
- skip any promo codes
- check your basket clears S$1,000 before GST
- split larger purchases (S$2,000 + GST or more) into separate qualifying orders
The 500-transaction cap is the main risk, so if you’re planning to go for it, don’t leave it until the last few days. It may well be exhausted sooner than that.
