Points.com transactions are generally very unfavorable. The rare exception is when you are getting miles from a promotion for using points.com (say via past US Airways Grand Slam promotions) and your transaction is a minimal exchange. Better to feed all miles into a single *Alliance partner and feed that partner with an allied miles card or a card that can convert miles into the partner.
How's the Merlion fountain looking these days? Was a temporary hotel when last in Singapore.

And would it be a cheaper way of joining my Kris Flyer miles, say, with my United miles, since both are in Star Alliance?
Very much appreciate any insight on this Points.com thing!
Thanks!
