Earn 10,000 KrisFlyer Miles for Spending Just $1000 on American Express KrisFlyer Card


To all readers, the previous content of my post which I blogged about how one could spend $50 to achieve 10,000 krisflyer miles is no longer valid because AMEX has changed their referral T&C from 10 October 2019. 

New Condition

So for those who had signed up from 10 October 2019, your Krisflyer accumulation miles are as follows:

a) Your first charge to the Krisflyer card will yield you 5,000 KrisFlyer Miles (provided this is the first time you own and have charged to an American Express cobrand Card)

b) However if you wish to accumulate the next 5,000 Krisflyer miles, you will need to spend $1,000 within the first 3 months of the date of the card approval.


This will help you earn 10,000 Krisflyer Miles in total. Please take note.


However, for those interested in accumulating for the $1,000 spend. I will strongly recommend using the top up of grabpay method over the span of 2-3 months. While your first $200 in grab top up is applicable for 3.1x Krisflyer miles, the totality of the $1,000 expenditure is still worthwhile.

Below is my advised calculation

1st Calendar Month (e.g. 1 Nov 2019) - Top up $500 Into grabpay via your new signed up Amex Card

First $200- 630 Krisflyer Miles ($200 x 3.1)
Next $300 - 330 Kris Flyer Miles ($200 x 1.1)

2nd Calendar Month (e.g. 1 Dec 2019) - Top up $500 Into grabpay via Amex Card

First $200- 630 Krisflyer Miles ($200 x 3.1)
Next $300 - 330 Kris Flyer Miles ($200 x 1.1)

Total Points as of 2nd Month = 1,920 Kris Flyer Miles
Add $1,000 Spend =  5,000 Kris Flyer Miles
Total Airmiles Earned = 6,920 KrisFlyer Miles

Hence for $1,000 spent, you will accumulate 6,920 Air Miles (which works out to 6.9 Miles per $1 spent.

While it is weaker than the previous offer I stated where you could only spend $50 to earn the full 10k miles, the current deal is still decent in which you ear 6.9 miles per $1 up to $1,000

What To Spend on Grabpay

As mentioned by my now outdated post, the answer is to use Grabpay to pay for AXS bills online such as income tax bills and utility. I have linked a very well article by Dollars and Sense which covers how AXS mobile app can now be paid using Grabpay [Link Here]
