If you’re new to the frequent flyer game, Singapore Airlines’ loyalty program KrisFlyer is one of the top five to join for travellers based in Australia. And, in my opinion, KrisFlyer miles are as valuable as Qantas and Velocity Points.
During February, you can earn 500 bonus KrisFlyer miles for each person you refer to join the program. According to our valuation of KrisFlyer miles, each 500 miles is worth $9, so that’s a pretty good deal.
KrisFlyer turns 21 this year and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with you! Every referee you introduce from now till 29 February 2020, who makes at least one qualifying transaction, will earn you 500 KrisFlyer miles!
KrisFlyer usually only offers bonus miles for joining once a year, which tends to be in February-March.
How to take advantage of this promotion
- Share this link with your family and friends
- Have them insert your KrisFlyer number under the section Referred to KrisFlyer by a friend?
- Make sure that the KrisFlyer registration promotion box shows KFBD21 (this should be automatic)
- The new joiner will earn 500 bonus miles for joining by 29 February
- Once they make one qualifying transaction by 31 May, you’ll also earn 500 miles
Qualifying transactions include:
- Transferring Velocity Points over to KrisFlyer (this may be the easiest)
- Transferring credit card points over to KrisFlyer, such as American Express Membership Rewards points
- Flying on Singapore Airlines, SilkAir or Scoot
- Flying on a partner airline like Virgin Australia or United

I emailed Heathrow rewards and they said all accounts using enrollment code SQ2019 would be suspended as they had “seen a recent surge in points transfers from accounts using Sq2019”.
They’ll only activate my account if I provide proof of purchases at Heathrow to prove that I am a legitimate customers.
Was worth a try I guess.
Badly researched article, but I guess I should have checked T+Cs
Anyway its not called point Hacks for nothing not everything works all the time.
Happy Hacking.

Thoughts?
Not sure why. I clicked on the Points Balance ‘More Details’ and it says “Please note – some point types may not be redeemed for certain rewards.”
I wonder if sign up bonus points are ineligible for transfer to travel partners.
Is there a current signup bonus points offer for Krisflyer membership? It’s 14 Feb 2019, so I think the KFLY one has expired. Hoping to sign up my family of 4.
