If you don’t have enough KrisFlyer miles to book an award, you can transfer points from any of the major bank programs or Marriott Bonvoy. While transfers post instantly to many partner programs, Singapore is a notable exception. Fortunately, thanks to your fellow AwardWallet members and our Balance Watch feature, we have a reliable record of the typical Singapore transfer times.

A Note of Caution
Due to the recent outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Singapore has travel restrictions in place for anyone who isn't a Singaporean-citizen or long-term resident. You will be denied entry to Singapore if you have been to China in the 14 days prior to arrival. This ban applies regardless of where your inbound flight originates.
Our Take
Without a doubt, the standout route for U.S. travelers is between Singapore and San Francisco in business class for 66,500 miles. If you can make this work on short notice, you can save a bundle of miles. Have you booked a Spontaneous Escape? Let us know in the comments.

Just in case you end up not using your transferred points. KrisFlyer had a 3 year expiration on points a few years back. Not sure if this is still the case?
Yes, that is still the case.
Even with activity? Wow. 🙁
Great offer, the SQ scheme isn’t dead quite yet
… only if I could be “spontaneous” so often!
It is unfortunate these travel restrictions have to be in place due to the corona virus. Our best wishes go to those who are directly or indirectly affected by the virus.
I guess all the Asian airlines will be taking a financial hit until after this Corona virus issue. Glad to see Singapore giving this promotion.
I was thinking the same thing about Asian airlines taking a hit. Need some promos to get customers back.
I guess that SIA can only shrink so much just for the pandemic.
Do they ever include first class awards for these promotions?
I think they have historically, but it isn’t especially common.
I wish we could somehow keep a tally of AW users who are actually able to take advantage of individual promotions. Would be fascinating, just out of curiosity. But, more importantly, it would be quite the assessment of how good a promotion truly is. Of course, getting such feedback from users is challenging.
The reduction in flights because of the corona virus requires even more flexibility.
The offers for April and May might be less attractive if more cuts come.
I’d like to see a “12x your points if you get quarantined” promotion.
