So I would say it's a million billion gazillion TYP for CX F SFO-SIN
But 50k typ for no annual fee the first year and spending $3k is pretty sweet and you get an annual domestic companion ticket for free that's potentially very valuable.
TYP are not good for international C/F given the fixed points/dollar value. Use your millions of miles accumulated from flying for those awards. What you can use TYP for is cheap fares, especially long-haul - you get miles for flying, EQMs for status, all with $0 out of pocket costs.
