Capital One miles credit cards
Venture miles and Spark miles earned with Capital One's credit cards can be converted into KrisFlyer miles at a 1:1 ratio. This means every 1,000 Capital One miles you transfer will give you 1,000 KrisFlyer miles.
Venture Rewards and Spark Rewards credit cards earn miles at a flat-rate across all purchases along with bonus miles when booking travel through Capital One Travel. That makes these cards a great option if you're looking for a single credit card for all of your purchases versus trying to max and min using a handful of different cards.

Chase offers three Ultimate Rewards credit cards that you can use to earn points transferable to Singapore KrisFlyer at a 1:1 ratio. This means every 1,000 Chase points you transfer would give you 1,000 KrisFlyer miles.
