100% FrequentMiler
Yes, you can keep your KrisFlyer miles from expiring without taking a flight by using a cheap placeholder award or by paying the program’s modest extension fee.
Low‑cost options
- Book a placeholder award flight far in the future and later change it when you have a real redemption in mind. This lets you extend the miles’ validity for up to a year past the original ticketing date, provided Singapore Airlines continues to charge reasonable change fees FrequentMiler .
- Pay the mileage‑extension fee: Singapore allows a 6‑month extension (12 months for elite members) for about $12 USD per 10,000 miles, or you can forfeit 1,200 miles per 10,000 miles you want to extend FrequentMiler . The fee can be applied once per account, making it a short‑term but inexpensive fix FrequentMiler .
