Convert Passion Card Points to Miles

http://tapformore.com.sg/

Only useful for those in Singapore with a PassionCard, but an extra 0.5 miles per dollar never hurt anyone. Probably a better redemption than the 0.5% cashback at Cold Storage.

Converting in the reverse will only be useful for about-to-expire orphaned miles, as 1mi = 1.2 points, and 150 points = $1 cashback.

I couldn't get that conversion from points to miles. All 3 of my browsers are not able to open the links in that website. But you are saying 1 point converts to 0.5 miles? I think i will still stick to Fairprice using UOB PPV. These merchants with tap points are exactly those who give out stupid SMART$ instead of UNI$

For the conversion in reverse, I think KF website says it is 1 mile = 1.1 points, not 1.2.
So I just did a quick calculation to value a Suites ticket to Europe at 90,000 miles. I am getting back 660 dollars. Who on earth would exchange a Suites ticket for that amount back....

Indeed only good for expiring miles. And that is not going to happen for me.

Had a look into this last night, tend to agree a use for expiring miles only really.

I had a comment left on my site stating that 1 Point could be transferred to 0.43 Miles.

I tried to do a conversion for mine. 10 pts = 4 miles. So $10 = 4 miles, which works out to be 0.4 miles per $.

150 points gives you a $1 rebate at CS.

2500 points gives you 1,000 miles.

So $16.67 for 1,000 miles.

Now this doesn't seem too bad, does it? I mean DBS annual is $192.60 for the main card and you get "only" 10,000 miles in return.

I haven't registered yet so just curious, but were their any costs per transfer or min. blocks of points required?

Or was it free and even 10 points could be converted?

Yes minimum conversion is 300 points, which would net 120 miles. I think it's free but I can't confirm as I don't have 300 points yet.
