In a momentous celebration of 25 years of partnership, American Express and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer announced exclusive rewards for their KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card Members. Designed to redefine travel experiences, these benefits reflect the enduring strength of the collaboration between two global giants in travel and financial services.
Starting February 1 through July 31, 2025, new and existing American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card Members will enjoy unparalleled opportunities to accelerate their journey toward KrisFlyer Elite Gold membership—a tier that unlocks premium privileges for frequent flyers.
Exclusive Rewards to Elevate Travel
Fast-Track to KrisFlyer Elite Gold
During this limited-time period, card members can attain KrisFlyer Elite Gold status by spending S$16,000 on eligible purchases. Everyday transactions, such as groceries, dining, and travel accommodations, are included in the qualifying spend, provided at least S$6,000 is spent on Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights. This exclusive offer allows travellers to enjoy the coveted benefits of KrisFlyer Elite Gold status with enhanced ease.
Additional Incentives for Early Achievers
To commemorate this milestone further, the first 250 card members to meet the S$16,000 spend requirement (with S$6,000 on eligible Singapore Airlines or Scoot flights) will receive an S$150 eCapitaVoucher. For high spenders, a bonus awaits: the first 250 members who reach S$20,000—including the same S$6,000 airline spend threshold—will receive a premium 28-inch Samsonite luggage. It’s worth noting that members who qualify for the Samsonite luggage will not be eligible for the eCapitaVoucher, ensuring exclusivity across the rewards.
A Testament to Premium Travel
Mr Marlin Brown, Singapore Country Manager for American Express, enthusiastically said, “Our Card Members are avid travelers. This accelerator program offers them a fast track to KrisFlyer Elite Gold membership, bringing them greater convenience and peace of mind as they explore new experiences on one of the world’s leading airlines.”
