Very happy I held on to a stack of VFF points when VA were in trouble

From the linked article above:

The ability to book Velocity Reward Seats in Singapore Airlines’ premium cabins, along with the ability to transfer points between KrisFlyer and Velocity, is expected to resume shortly.

Anticipating... might be a changed transfer rate.

Hope it isn’t enhanced too much…

'Enhanced' as in either devalued, or 'improved rate' but with "Carrier Charges" and limited transfers applied.

 

[jase05]

As long as availability is released to VA the transfer bit doesn’t bother me greatly.

Great news to see this come back - NH next please! (and J awards..)

 

[henrus]

The lack of J awards seems to be SQ simply not sharing J awards with partners at this point in time.

Neither please

Here's hoping J opens up fairly quickly, I'm ready to book!

I have 362,000 KrisFlyer points that I need to transfer next month to Velocity…or lose them

Hang on, Krisflyer is extending the expiry date again.

All KrisFlyer Miles that expire between now and end of June will be extended by 12 months* and those that expire in the second half of 2022 will be extended by 6 months. So perhaps you need not worry. Yet.

* the way it will work is that they will be extended by 6 months initially and then be extended again when expiring in the second half of 2022.

Ditto.
Been holding 4.2mil velocity miles since that fateful time when everyone was cashing out for basically anything that was available in estore.

 

[Matty F]

Why do I get the feeling that the people who cashed out 2 years ago will end up getting the better deal?

I'd be surprised if SQ J (or even a VA to SQ transfer) ends up at a worse rate than giftcards

I think its a pretty safe bet the transfer rate from VA2 - SQ is going to be enhanced, that's correct.

We can only hope that it isn't horrifically so.

You never know though, maybe it will remain the same as pre-collapse......
