Based on our valuations, KrisFlyer Miles have an average value of 1.4 cents each when redeemed for award flights on Singapore Airlines and their partners, but can be worth as much as 2 cents in value booking upper class flights.

Here's our breakdown on KrisFlyer miles value:

How To Calculate The Value of KrisFlyer Miles

Singapore KrisFlyer miles does not have a set value. You will not know the true value of your miles until you can compare the cash and award prices.

You can calculate KrisFlyer miles value by dividing the cash cost of your redemption by the number of KrisFlyer miles required for the redemption.

KrisFlyer Miles Value = Cost of Flight or Redemption ÷ Miles Required.

Check out our Use KrisFlyer Miles or Pay Cash Calculator to easily calculate the value of any KrisFlyer redemption.

Redeeming KrisFlyer Miles For The Best Value

You will get the best value out of your KrisFlyer miles when redeeming them for flights with Singapore and their airline partners. Other redemptions, such as car rentals and hotel bookings, will give your miles lower value.

Singapore Flights

Singapore KrisFlyer Miles can be redeemed for award flights on Singapore Airlines, Star Alliance airlines, and several other partners.

If you're looking to fly specifically with Singapore Airlines (as in not through codeshares/partners), they fly to the following U.S. cities:

• Houston
• Los Angeles
• New York (JFK)
• New York (Newark)
• San Francisco
• Seattle

For standard economy flights, you'll easily be able to get an average value of around 1.4 cents per KrisFlyer Mile. You can improve on this value exponentially by booking First, Business, and Suite with Singapore Airlines and other airline partners which can give you 2 cents or more in value.

Here are a few of the flights you should look out for:

• Fly Singapore Airlines Suites Class: Singapore Suites is one of the most sought after redemptions and the reason why many collect credit card rewards that can be transferred to the KrisFlyer program.
• Fly Singapore Airlines First and Business Class: If you can't find award or waitlist space with Singapore Suites, you can still fly in utmost luxury and style in Singapore First Class and Business Class. You can book these flights through the six U.S. airports that Singapore flies to.
• Fly From The U.S. To Europe On Singapore Airlines: You can fly New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) and Houston (IAH) to Manchester (MAN) on Singapore Airlines. This allows you to experience top-notch service that is significantly better than what you'll get flying U.S. carriers.
• Seat Upgrades: Miles can be used to upgrade to Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, or Singapore Airlines Suites once you've confirmed your ticket.

KrisFlyer Krisshop

KrisFlyer members can use their KrisFlyer miles when shopping on KrisShop.com. You can pay with all miles or mix cash and miles to shop for over 1,000 different products. This will give your miles a value of 0.6 cents per KrisFlyer mile. You must use at least 1,000 KrisFlyer miles minimum which is equal to $6.

KrisFlyer vRooms Car Rentals

Booking cars though KrisFlyer vRooms offered an average value of 0.4 cents per KrisFlyer mile. I did find a few redemptions was Hertz that was around 0.9 to 1 cents each for week long rentals in bigger metropolitan areas.

KrisFlyer vRooms Hotels

KrisFlyer miles can be used to pay for hotel rooms through KrisFlyer vRooms. Redemptions for hotels are all over the place with values as low as 0.2 cents and values as high as 0.7 cents.
