As far as FFP goes, I stress you will be at a loss if you decide on any plan other than SQ Krisflyer. SQ has the best airline departure lounge in SIN, and even if you are Star Alliance gold, you get to use just the SATS lounges - a far cry from the SQ lounge. In addition, SQ uses T3 and T2, much better than T1 to depart and Arrive.
Frequent flyers in SIN recommend the Citibank PremierMiles card giving the best miles / $ ratio. But miles accrued by credit card spend do not contribute to status (Does any airline allow this ?)
Hope this helps.
ok, thanks a lot, again valuable information!
When you live in France and have a Amex FLying Blue Gold card, the miles you collect contribute to your status! that's awesome!
