Singapore Airlines (SQ) runs one of the most respected loyalty programs in the aviation industry — KrisFlyer — and at the top of that hierarchy sit the PPS Club and Solitaire PPS Club.
Within these tiers, the PPS Rewards program provides added recognition for frequent premium-cabin travelers, offering tangible perks as members accumulate PPS Value through flights and select on-ground spending.
Launched in 2017, PPS Rewards gives elite passengers a way to unlock bonuses at different spend thresholds during each membership year.
While smaller in scale than elite-tier benefits, these rewards offer measurable value to travelers who frequently fly in Business, First Class, or Suites.
How PPS Rewards Work?
PPS Rewards are milestone-based bonuses issued as members accumulate PPS Value — Singapore Airlines’ status-earning currency.
Each reward tier unlocks automatically once the required PPS Value is reached within a membership year. Members can view and redeem rewards via their KrisFlyer account under “Account Summary → PPS Rewards.”
| PPS Value Milestone | PPS Reward | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 30,000 | 2 × Double KrisFlyer Miles | Earn double KrisFlyer miles on two flight segments |
| 40,000 | 50,000 Miles Redemption Discount | Save 50,000 miles on an award ticket or upgrade |
| 60,000 | Advance Upgrade 1 | Confirm one-cabin upgrade (subject to seat availability) |
| 75,000 | Advance Upgrade 2 | Another one-cabin upgrade |
| 100,000 | Advance Upgrade 3 | A third one-cabin upgrade |
Each reward is valid for 12 months, with a possible three-month extension before expiry. Once issued, rewards appear instantly and can be applied online or via PPS Connect.
Earning PPS Value
PPS Value is primarily earned through paid premium-cabin flights on Singapore Airlines-operated services (SQ-numbered flights). Economy and Premium Economy fares do not earn PPS Value.
| Cabin | Eligible Fare Classes | PPS Value Earn Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Suites / First Class | F, A | 1 PPS Value per S$1 fare (excl. taxes) |
| Business Class | J, C, Z, U (flex) | 1 PPS Value per S$1 fare (excl. taxes) |
| Other Classes | — | Not eligible for PPS Value |
In 2025, Singapore Airlines expanded PPS Value earning beyond flights. Members can now accumulate limited PPS Value from spending across Kris+, KrisShop, and Pelago.
| Channel | Rate | Annual Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Kris+, KrisShop, Pelago | 1 PPS Value per S$3 spent | PPS Club: 2,500 PPS Value / Solitaire: 5,000 PPS Value |
All amounts are converted to Singapore dollars before calculation. PPS Value cannot be earned on redemption tickets or on portions paid with miles.
Key Reward Details
1. Double KrisFlyer Miles
Members receive two vouchers at 30,000 PPS Value. Each voucher applies to a single flight segment and doubles the base KrisFlyer miles earned. It can be used retroactively within seven days of flight completion, provided it was issued before departure.
2. 50,000 Miles Redemption Discount
This reward offers a flat 50,000-mile reduction when redeeming a flight or upgrade on Singapore Airlines-operated flights. It applies to one passenger per booking and must be used within 12 months. Any unused portion is forfeited.
3. Advance Upgrade Rewards
At 60,000 PPS Value and beyond, Solitaire PPS Club members unlock up to three Advance Upgrade vouchers. Each provides a confirmed one-class upgrade (Economy → Premium Economy, Premium Economy → Business, or Business → First) subject to seat availability.
These upgrades apply only to eligible commercial fares (not “Lite” or redemption tickets). If seats are unavailable, the reward cannot be waitlisted or combined for multiple passengers.
Reward Validity and Management
PPS Rewards appear instantly once earned. Members can:
- Apply rewards to eligible bookings directly online
- Extend validity by three months before expiry via the “Extend Validity” option
- Combine certain rewards, such as using a Double Miles voucher alongside an Advance Upgrade (bonus applies to original fare class)
The PPS Rewards tracker resets every 100,000 PPS Value earned, up to a total of 500,000 PPS Value per membership year. Beyond that limit, additional PPS Value does not yield new rewards.

Bottom Line
PPS Rewards add a valuable extra layer to Singapore Airlines’ top-tier loyalty ecosystem. While the benefits may not rival a full cabin upgrade or complimentary ticket, they provide consistent recognition for frequent premium-class travelers.
By monitoring PPS Value milestones and strategically applying rewards — such as doubling miles on long-haul flights or redeeming the 50,000-mile discount — members can extract meaningful value from their annual flying activity.
For anyone climbing toward Solitaire status, PPS Rewards serve as both an incentive and a practical tool to maximize return on Singapore Airlines’ premium fares.
