The only good reason to accumulate KF miles is if you absolutely have to redeem J or F tickets on certain planes- not something you would know now.

Most of us fly SQ a lot- I'm ~90%- and love the airline, the service, the quality of the in-flight experience. It's just the FFP that offers poor value, compared to other *A programs.

But you can also just live and learn, like the rest of us- I have ~100K orphan KF miles that will expire soon, because I haven't found a good redemption value (need to book that F FRA flight!). But I thought you were posting a question in the forum because you wanted to make an informed choice.
