The Offer
- Marriott members can match to Singapore Krisflyer
Our Verdict
The match varies based on your status but if it’s platinum and above you get silver status for 12 months and upgrade to gold with four flights with Singapore in six months.
Hat tip to chrumbles
Does Silver have any use when flying United?
Also includes “Bonvoy Platinum Accelerator Challenge”
And status match goes both ways it appears.
Worked for me having status through amex bonvoy brilliant and the business amex
Same here.
What constitutes the eligible flights. If I am heading to bangkok via singapore from lax. since there is layover does it count as 2 flights?
Give me your Krisflyer number and I can find out for you!
ROFL
Worked for me from Marriott Plat to Kris Silver
Can someone confirm that each segment counts as an individual flight for the promo? I’m pretty sure it does but I didn’t find anything on the T&C
Any deadline for status match? Or can I time it when actually traveling on SQ?
None listed but I wouldn’t expect it to last long
That’s what I would like to know too, as a Titanian I would like to stretch out this Silver status period as far out as possible. It would be great to time it to Singapore travel, but it’s more likely to end in a month or so.
Can SQ Silver match any other airline to get some status?
Unfortunately this usually requires proof of a stay(or flight in this case) to prevent you from doing just that.
The T&Cs say “ Singapore Airlines commercial flights in any booking class except booking class codes G ‘Group fares’ (each such flight, a “Qualifying Flight”
They are not excluding award travel from counting towards the status requirements for KrisFlyer Gold.
T&C contains language that the 4 SQ “Qualifying Flights” needed to upgrade from Silver to Gold cannot be awards but be revenue tickets “in any booking class except booking class codes G ‘Group fares’”. Would SQ tickets booked through Chase Travel be doomed to be code G (group fares)? Is there any way to use points to book Singapore airlines tickets that would not be group g? Or is there any credit card out there now that reimburses travel expenses after you’ve paid them directly like the Arrival card used to do?
You can normally see the fare code booked through Chase. In almost all cases it should not be G.
Chase Travel should generally not be G fares
