With the iPhone Duo hitting Singapore shelves today, UOB and KrisShop have brought back their Apple promotion for KrisFlyer UOB cardholders, this time with a much bigger bonus of 3,500 KrisFlyer miles when you spend at least S$2,500 on selected Apple products at KrisShop.com until 6th November 2026.
That’s up from 1,000 bonus miles on a S$1,000 minimum spend when the iPhone 18 Pro launched last month. It’s a better rate too, at 1.4 bonus miles per dollar at the minimum spend, compared with 1 bonus mile last time.
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.
3,500 Bonus KrisFlyer miles on selected Apple Products
Here are the key details of the offer.

How it works
Pay for at least S$2,500 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 3,500 bonus miles. AppleCare+ counts towards the S$2,500, provided you add it to the Apple product before checkout.
The minimum spend is measured “before any shipping fees, taxes and duties”, which means before GST. As this promotion is for delivery to a Singapore address, you’ll be shopping in KrisShop’s non-traveller mode, where prices are shown including GST. That means your order needs to come to at least S$2,725 to qualify.
If you browse in traveller mode, the prices 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$2,500 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 7,000 bonus miles, while a single order of the same total earns only 3,500 bonus miles.
If you’re buying more than one qualifying item, split them into separate orders.
For example, if you’re buying two iPhone Duos, place them as two separate orders.
The catch is the overall limit of 400 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 28th February 2027.
What’s eligible?
The eligible range is much broader this time, with almost 90 Apple products included. Alongside the iPhone Duo, there’s the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, two Mac Studio and two Mac mini models, the full Apple Watch Series 12, Ultra 4 and SE 3 ranges, AirPods 5, and a long list of watch bands and iPhone cases. There are still no iPads or MacBooks.
With a S$2,500 minimum, though, only a handful of items clear the threshold on their own – every iPhone Duo (obviously!), the 1TB and 2TB versions of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, and both Mac Studios.

| iPhone cases & accessories |
S$39 – S$179 | S$35.78 – S$164.22 | No |
Everything else needs combining in the same order, since the minimum spend applies per transaction rather than per item. An iPhone 18 Pro bought alongside an Apple Watch Ultra 4, for example, qualifies comfortably.
The easiest way to check is your total at checkout. If it’s at least S$2,725 including GST, you’re over the S$2,500 threshold.

| iPhone 18 Pro (256GB) + Series 12 Aluminium (46mm GPS + Cellular) |
S$2,708 | S$2,484.40 | No (S$15.60 short) |
Watch out for the near misses here. An iPhone 18 Pro with a 46mm aluminium Series 12 (GPS + Cellular) falls short by S$15.60 before GST, and an iPhone 18 Pro Max with a 42mm aluminium Series 12 (GPS) misses by S$24.77.
Adding a S$69 band to either order takes it over the line, as would AppleCare+ on either device.
How many miles will you earn?
On top of the 3,500 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)
If you’re not a KrisShopper yet, it’s free to join, and going from 1.5 mpd to 2 mpd is worth an extra 1,400 miles or so on a base iPhone Duo. Don’t use the welcome promo code you get for signing up on this order though, or you’ll lose the 3,500 bonus miles.
Here’s how that works out by KrisShopper tier, at the minimum qualifying charge of S$2,725, and for the iPhone Duo in its cheapest (256GB) and most expensive (2TB) configurations:

Is it worth it?
3,500 KrisFlyer miles, valued at 1.8 cents each, are worth about S$63. That’s a rebate of about 2.3% at the minimum S$2,725 charge, 2% on a base iPhone Duo, and 1.3% on the 2TB model.
It’s a much better deal than last time, but still not a reason in itself to buy a foldable 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.
At this level of spend, though, there’s no contest. 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. Beyond about S$1,385, the KrisFlyer UOB card’s uncapped 3 mpd comes out ahead even without any bonus.
On a S$3,099 iPhone Duo:
- Citi Rewards: around 4,840 miles
- KrisFlyer UOB card: 9,285 miles, or 12,785 miles including the bonus
So the KrisFlyer UOB card is the clear choice here, and it keeps your 4 mpd caps free for other spending this month.
Other things to note
- Bonus miles will be credited by 28th February 2027, but the accrual date is backdated to 6th November 2026. That’s the date the usual three-year expiry clock runs from, so they’ll expire in November 2029.
- If you return or refund the Apple products, KrisShop can claw the bonus miles back. That’s worth bearing in mind if you’re considering returning a foldable you’re not sure about, or cancelling your order if the wait drags on.
- 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 an iPhone Duo, a Mac Studio or other eligible Apple kit anyway, there’s a very good reason to route it through KrisShop with your KrisFlyer UOB card over the next two weeks.
The price is the same as at the Apple Store, and you’ll pick up between 17,000 and 36,000 KrisFlyer miles on a new iPhone Duo, depending on storage and your KrisShopper tier.
Just be prepared to wait! KrisShop expects iPhone Duo deliveries to take 18 weeks or more, so if you want one sooner, the Apple Store or a telco may be the better bet, though you’ll miss out on the bonus.
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$2,500 before GST (S$2,725 including GST)
- Buying two? Place them as separate orders
The 400-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.
Further details on the promotion are available at KrisShop’s UOB page, including the full terms and conditions.
