1. You just want to stay in and chill: Earn miles with Kris+

If your idea of a perfect long weekend is spending that time parked in front of the television, binge-watching your favourite show and not moving a muscle, there are opportunities even in that. 

Prep the snacks with Kris+: This may require you to briefly step out of your house to load up on the essentials, but no TV show marathon is complete without some light bites. Take your pick from a fluffy martabak manis (a sweet Indonesian pancake dessert) from Smile Martabak, bubble tea from Gong Cha, donuts from Krispy Kreme, cookies from Famous Amos and more. Use your KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card to pay for these purchases from Kris+ partners and stack your rewards, in addition to the usual miles earn rate.

2. You want to check off items on your long to-do list: Earn with Kris+, KrisShop, yuu and CapitaStar 

Taking time that weekend to run errands, complete your chores and ease your mental load? Here’s how you can celebrate the fruits of your (manual) labour with miles in your account.

• When restocking groceries: Opt to shop online via Kris+ partner FairPrice Online and earn miles as you stock up on your fridge. Alternatively, earn yuu Points when you shop at Cold Storage, CS Fresh or Giant, and convert them to KrisFlyer miles at a rate of 3.6 yuu Points* to 1 KrisFlyer mile. A minimum of 200 yuu Points is required for each conversion. 

• When running personal errands: Treating yourself to a self-care day? Enjoy a massage at House of Traditional Javanese Massage or Ikeda Spa and earn miles. Need new skincare or cosmetics? Earn miles when you purchase from KrisShop, or earn STAR$® (CapitaStar reward points) when you shop at Capitaland malls, then convert them to KrisFlyer miles at a rate of 380 KrisFlyer mile for every 9,880 STAR$® converted.

3. You want a date over a nice meal with your loved ones: Earn or redeem mile with Kris+, or redeem miles on KrisFlyer Experiences

From chill cafes to fine dining restaurants, take your pick from the many Kris+ dining partners and earn miles on your meals. Or, choose to redeem your miles instead. Recent Kris+ dining partners include Peony Jade, Dolce Vita, 1-Alfaro, Kai Garden, The Plump Frenchman and more. 

KrisFlyer Experiences also offers specially curated dining experiences especially for KrisFlyer members.

4. You want to be a tourist for a day in Singapore: Redeem miles on Pelago

Deepavali, or the Festival of Lights, sees the streets of Little India decked out in a magnificent 

colourful display of lights annually. Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere by taking a trip there at night or joining a cultural and food experiential tour in the day. For just over 5,000 miles, the experience, available on Pelago, takes you to Tekka Market, Campbell Lane and House of Tan Teng Niah.

5. You want a quick weekend getaway: Redeem miles on Singapore Airlines or Scoot

There’s no better time to go on a quick escapade overseas. Redeem your miles on a flight with Singapore Airlines or Scoot to any destination of your choice.
