Travelers around the globe are likely acquainted with Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program, which offers rewards like bonus miles, lounge access, and priority boarding for loyal members. However, there is a higher tier known as the PPS Club, which is based on the amount spent rather than miles traveled, offering unique benefits, such as a Star Alliance Gold card and unlimited expiration on KrisFlyer miles.
How to Join PPS Club
The PPS Club has two membership levels: the standard PPS Club and the more exclusive Solitaire. To enter the PPS Club, members must accumulate 25,000 ‘PPS Value’ within a 12-month period, derived from cash spent on suites, first, and business class tickets (excluding taxes and economy/premium economy bookings). To maintain membership, members must continue earning 25,000 PPS Value annually. Any excess counts as PPS Reserve, which can help renew membership in subsequent years.
Advancing to Solitaire
To achieve Solitaire status, members must earn 50,000 PPS Value in a year. The same eligibility rules apply.
Benefits of PPS Club and Solitaire
PPS Club members enjoy numerous perks, including:
- Access to SilverKris business lounges
- Increased baggage allowances
- No expiration on KrisFlyer miles
- Priority immigration and boarding.
Solitaire members receive additional benefits, such as:
- A supplementary Solitaire membership card
- First Class check-in and lounge access
- Reimbursement for the APEC Business Travel Card application.
Baggage Allowances
PPS Club members enjoy enhanced baggage allowances, varying from 25kg in economy to 50kg in first class, plus additional benefits with partner airlines.
PPS Rewards
PPS members can earn rewards upon reaching specific PPS Value milestones:
- At 30,000 PPS Value: Two Double KrisFlyer Miles rewards.
- At 40,000 PPS Value: 50,000 KrisFlyer miles discount for upgrades.
- At 60,000, 75,000, and 100,000 PPS Value (for Solitaires): One Advance Upgrade voucher each.
PPS Club membership ensures KrisFlyer miles do not expire as long as membership remains active. However, Reserve Value cannot be used for PPS Rewards, and supplementary cardholders do not earn PPS Rewards.
This summary captures the key features of the Singapore Airlines PPS Club and Solitaire membership benefits.
