Kris+ is offering entries into a prize draw for the rest of 2026 for customers of one of its partner merchants iStudio, the largest Apple reseller in Singapore, which also offers a range of electronic goods and accessories from the likes of Belkin, Gear4, and mophie.
iStudio has been a Kris+ partner since May 2022, and allows you to accrue 1 mpd on all products when making payment via Apple Pay or Google Pay via the app, though unfortunately this was cut from 3 mpd back in May 2023.
Nonetheless, the earning boost still makes iStudio a good option for earning extra miles when purchasing Apple (or other) products, especially for big-ticket items like the new iPhone 18 range, which has just landed in stores, or a laptop.
Also if you’re travelling soon iStudio’s outlets at Changi Airport’s T1, T2, T3 and T4 transit areas even allow you to buy tax-free (9% saving) and still earn 1 mpd on top of your credit card points.
150,000 KrisFlyer miles promo
Kris+ and iStudio are offering one winner a grand total of 150,000 miles in a new prize draw giveaway. That’s the biggest prize in this series since the 214,000 miles on offer back in 2022.
Every time you spend S$180 or more (before GST) on any product at an iStudio Singapore outlet between now and 31st December 2026 using the Kris+ app to earn an additional 1 mpd on the purchase, you’ll earn one entry into the prize draw.
There’s an extra incentive for Apple’s headline products this time. Any qualifying purchase that includes an iPhone or Apple Watch earns 15x chances in the draw. That means one iPhone 18 purchase carries the same weight as 15 separate S$180 purchases.
The entry threshold is far lower than April’s S$599 minimum, though still higher than the S$80 level used in the draws between 2022 and 2025. Combined with a promotion that runs for more than three months over the busy iPhone launch and year-end Christmas period, that likely means a lot more entries in the pot.
The bigger prize may therefore come with longer odds, we suspect!
You can accrue as many entries into the draw as you like, but you cannot split a larger transaction into smaller payments to gain multiple entries (e.g. a single S$540 + GST transaction for a non-iPhone or Apple Watch product is still only one entry, not three).
You are not allowed to split your payment for a single purchase.
You’ll now need to be an iStudio member to take part, a new eligibility condition this time round. The draw is also open only to Singapore residents aged 18 and above.
The winner of the miles will be announced via iStudio’s social media platforms. The winner will receive 150,000 KrisPay miles in their Kris+ account, and has the option to instantly transfer these 1:1 to KrisFlyer miles, but must do so within 21 days of them being credited.
Terms and conditions for the offer are available on the Kris+ app under the ‘Highlights’ section.
Note that you’ll also get an entry whenever redeeming KrisPay miles through the Kris+ app in whole or part for your S$180+ iStudio purchase, but we do not recommend using your miles this way, since you’ll get a poor 1 cent value per mile.
Our advice? Only earn miles using the Kris+ app where possible, then transfer them straight to your KrisFlyer account (time limit: 21 days), where you’ll get best value from them for a flight redemption in future.
What does 150,000 miles get you?
iStudio’s example redemption is a trip to Sydney in Singapore Airlines Business Class. A return Saver award costs 144,000 KrisFlyer miles, so the prize covers it with 6,000 miles to spare.
The same 144,000 miles also gets you a return Saver Business Class trip to Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns, Auckland or Christchurch.
While that’s iStudio’s example redemption, you’re certainly not limited to that option and in fact the lucky winner can use these 150,000 miles however they like.

Alternative awards you can achieve with 150,000 miles would include:
- A one-way First Class Saver award to Europe (148,000 miles), including in the A380 Suites on routes like London.
- A round-trip First Class Saver award from Singapore to Beijing, Shanghai, Delhi or Mumbai (123,000 miles), with enough miles to spare for a one-way Business Class saver award to Bali too.
- A round-trip Premium Economy Saver award from Singapore to Europe (149,000 miles).
- A round-trip Business Class Saver award to Dubai, Istanbul, Johannesburg or Cape Town (136,000 miles).
- Three round-trips from Singapore to Bangkok, Manila, Phuket or Ho Chi Minh City in Saver Business Class (150,000 miles exactly).
Alternatively, these miles are now worth at least S$1,500 in cashback against future Kris+ purchases, against future confirmed SIA or Scoot flight tickets, or for items at KrisShop or activities booked through Pelago, thanks to a 2025 hike in on-ground spend value.
Nonetheless, you’ll get better value from a First or Business Class flight redemption with SIA or even Scoot in some cases – via the award charts – provided you have travel plans coming up.
Locations
There are 24 iStudio store locations across Singapore, including four currently available in the transit area at Changi Airport for tax-free purchases.

iStudio also offers Kris+ customers a 10% discount on third-party products and accessories (i.e. non-Apple-branded), or 15% for PPS Club members, though this also now excludes speakers/audio products, software, external hard disks and thumb drives, so may be of limited use.
Which card to use
iStudio purchases via the Kris+ app code under MCC 5732: Electronics Stores, allowing you to tap into the following bonus earn rates with some Singapore-issued credit cards.
| Card | Earn rate | Notes / Spend Cap |
 DBS WWMC(see our review) |
4 mpd | 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). |
 HSBC Revolution(see our review) |
4 mpd | On contactless payments at electrical goods stores (MCC 5732), capped at S$1,000 per calendar month. |
 UOB KF(see our review) |
3 mpd | No minimum spend No cap |
Even if you don’t hold one of these cards, or you’ve already maxed out their monthly or annual bonus category spend where applicable, a relatively mundane general spend option like the Citi PremierMiles will still net you 1.2 mpd, plus the 1 mpd from Kris+ itself, for a total effective earning of 2.2 mpd at iStudio.
The S$1,000 monthly bonus caps on the DBS WWMC and HSBC Revolution will be quickly used up by an iPhone 18 purchase. You may want to spread big-ticket orders across months or cards, but not across payments on a single purchase, since the T&Cs unfortunately don’t allow that.
Summary
If you’re in the market for an Apple product or an accessory purchase, iStudio already offers a bonus of 1 mpd when you pay using the Kris+ app, on top of your regular credit card points.
There’s now an added incentive. Every Kris+ purchase at iStudio of S$180+ (excluding GST) between now and the end of 2026 earns a prize draw entry, and iPhone or Apple Watch purchases earn 15x entries. The winner picks up 150,000 KrisFlyer miles, enough for a return Saver Business Class trip to Sydney, or a one-way Saver First Class award to Europe.
