Sometimes, the most boring posts are the most helpful!

After working hard accumulating all these miles, it is finally time to redeem those sweet, sweet miles to actually start flying in luxury.

I recently wrote about using 40,000 KrisFlyer miles to redeem for 4 business-class flights with Singapore Airlines. What I didn’t mention was that I didn’t have enough miles in my KrisFlyer account, so I converted 25,000 DBS points to 50,000 KrisFlyer miles. Once inside the KrisFlyer account, the clock starts ticking and the 3-year expiry starts – which is why I don’t do it until I need it. Happened to be a good time anyway, because some DBS points expire after one year and a small tranche of them were due to expire.

It may sound like a trivial process but hey, I know people like to read up on such stuff before doing it themselves.
