SINGAPORE– American Express has launched a refreshed welcome offer for the AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card, providing new customers an added incentive worth S$100 in eCapitaVouchers.
This bonus comes in addition to 9,900 KrisFlyer miles available under the current public offer, making it one of the most rewarding no-fee sign-up promotions in the market.
AMEX Krisflyer Welcome Bonus Details
The promotion applies to new applicants approved for the AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card between October 15 and December 29, 2025.
As part of this limited-time campaign, American Express aims to attract first-time cardholders looking to earn more miles on spending associated with Singapore Airlines (SQ) and its partners.
New-to-AMEX customers can earn up to 11,000 KrisFlyer miles along with the S$100 eCapitaVoucher after meeting the spend criteria.
The breakdown includes 5,000 bonus miles for the first spend of any amount and an additional 4,900 miles upon spending S$1,000 within the first 30 days of card approval.
Customers also collect 1,100 base miles from that same S$1,000 spend, leading to a total return of 11,000 miles.
All rewards are credited to the cardholder’s KrisFlyer account, typically within 12 weeks of meeting the spend threshold.
The first-year annual fee of S$179.85 is waived, further improving the card’s value proposition for newcomers seeking entry into Singapore Airlines’ loyalty ecosystem.
Eligibility and conditions
Eligibility for the promotion is restricted to new-to-AMEX customers, meaning individuals who do not currently hold or have recently held an American Express consumer card within the past 12 months.
Supplementary cardholders are also excluded from the offer, as per AMEX’s updated definition of new applicants.
To qualify, cardholders must complete eligible transactions totaling S$1,000 within the first 30 days.
Spending on excluded categories such as education, donations, insurance payments, public hospitals, GrabPay top-ups, and utilities will not count toward the threshold.
Transactions through principal and supplementary cards, however, are pooled together for qualification purposes.
Card benefits and value
Beyond the sign-up promotion, the AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card offers a 1.1 miles-per-dollar (mpd) earn rate on both local and foreign currency transactions, along with an uncapped 2 mpd on Singapore Airlines, Scoot, and KrisShop purchases.
Cardholders spending at least S$12,000 between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, will also receive a S$150 cashback applicable to future Singapore Airlines bookings.
While the base earn rate may lag behind competing travel cards, the initial welcome bonus and fee waiver make this offer an appealing short-term opportunity for travelers.
Bottom Line
The AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card’s latest promotion adds tangible value for first-time customers through the combination of bonus miles and an S$100 eCapitaVoucher.
With no first-year fee and simple eligibility criteria, the offer provides an easy entry point into the Singapore Airlines loyalty program.
However, users seeking long-term rewards optimization may find higher-earning alternatives more suitable once the promotional benefits have been claimed.
