I just did it so hopefully the miles post. Might be too good to be true but for $10 it's worth a shot! They have the box for "annual payment" automatically checked so make sure to change it to monthly so you only pay for one or two months before canceling.

The KrisFlyer portal says to allow 90 days for points to post. But I figure even $30 is a reasonable risk for potentially getting 17,077 miles.

Be aware of this consequence. According to the LifeLock FAQ:

Reduced Pre-Approved Credit Card Offers - Requests your name be removed from pre-approved credit card mailing lists for increased security.

I'm assuming the points calculator for the "bulk points" offers must be inaccurate? Each one seems to imply you need to spend $1,000 with the vendor to get the full stated bonus.

The descriptions are so generic it looks like the terms for most of these can be interpreted any way they like.

US only, bugger. A few good ones around:

69601 miles for eToro (HK)
77875 miles for Firebrand IT Training (UK)

For us Aussies, the only decent one seems to be 1300PetInsurance...

Are there any decent mile offers available internationally?

From the Spree T&C:

Your account will be updated to show your miles as "Approved" when we have validated your purchase with the merchant. Merchants will take up to 90 days to acknowledge and approve purchases. Your purchases are subject to the merchants’ terms and conditions.
A bit risky for the cancellation?

Is there any chance they'll honor it?

I doubt it. This wasn't an error where they were offering double miles by accident, in some instances there were 2 extra zeros meaning the accident was 100x the correct points.

If people kick up a fuss I think they'll offer double the correct number of KF miles as compensation which I think is fair - this was clearly an error.

I'd be very interested to know what posts as pending where people purchased during the error?

(EDIT) From another site I see those who registered for the lifelock before the error was fixed have 779 miles as pending, not 17,077.
