Has anyone flown PEY to LHR fairly recently? Did they issue you a fast track card for immigration upon arrival? (Or, if you could use the EU gates, did you notice if they issued those cards for anyone else?)
I vaguely remember it being sold as one of the benefits of flying PEY, but I can no longer see it on the website. I've also read reports of them not having been given to some passengers flying PEY into LHR.

. Just expect more of a Y+ configuration than a business seat(think US Domestic F with a little less width)

Well, no, not exactly. Premium economy, not economy. (Though you do get fast track security flying out of LHR even when flying in Y if you're flying *A and are *G.)
Here's a trip report that mentions getting a fast track card while flying into LHR in PEY.
I am pretty certain it used to be advertised as a benefit on the SQ website, but it seems to have disappeared since then. Anyone know if it's been enhanced?

LHR -- it's only given out to Suites, First and Business passengers, according to procedure. PPS (and possibly *G) might get it if the IFS decides so, or if they ask for it.
BKK -- First and Business pax and PPS
Australia -- Suites, First and Business pax + PPS + *G
So it's different for every station.

I flew into LHR in Y as *G last month and did not receive fast track inbound.
Outbound LHR-SIN all *G get the FastTrack treatment which is a nice benefit.
To be honest I fly a lot in Y and have never received a FastTrack card for landing.

I'm more curious about people's experiences arriving into LHR flying in PEY.

Immigration was worse for us though as a computer problem crippled the automated gates and we had to wait for the fix.

Well, yes. That much is clear: you don't get a Fast Track card upon arrival at LHR when flying in Y (except perhaps if you're TPP, or maybe even QPP). I fly into LHR a lot in Y as well, and I've had the same experience as you have.

It's too bad; I swear could I remember fast track arrivals at LHR being touted as a benefit when the details of SQ's PEY offering was first announced, which seems to be consistent with people's experience with it. (i.e. Some older reports of having been issued fast track arrival cards, but more recent ones saying none was given.)
Less than a year old and already getting enhanced.

That chap is *G though, so we can't be sure if he received the benefit via his status, or by flying PEY. Anyway I decided to ask a couple of contacts in SQ, and this is what they said.

IFS last year was also kind enough to also issue one to my companion, who was non-PPS and non-*G.
