| Best Credit Cards for KrisFlyer Miles |
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is one of the most popular overseas frequent flyer programs in Australia. KrisFlyer miles are highly valuable as Singapore Airlines has a competitive frequent flyer program. There's good award availability on Singapore Airlines flights - including in Business and First class - and no fuel surcharges. KrisFlyer miles can also be used to fly on over two dozen Star Alliance airlines, plus other partners including Virgin Australia and Alaska Airlines.
Many Australians collect Qantas or Velocity Frequent Flyer points by default. But it's extremely easy to earn KrisFlyer miles in Australia via credit card spend. |
