What about AM? don't see it in the catalogue...https://ibanklite.standardchartered....=SG&lang=en_SG

Still can convert StanChart points to Asia Miles by calling StanChart. The rate is 2500pts=1000miles. Conversion fee for Asia Miles is S$10.70. But for KrisFlyer is S$26.75 (strange but true).

Not sure if Asia Miles is gg to continue after 01 April 2013 or the rate may change. If you don't want to take the risk then transfer/redeem all your StanChart points by 31 March 2013.

Banks seem to have many changes in 2013. Maybank removed MH's Enrich wef 01 Feb 2013 and wef 01 May 2013, AMEX increase the mileage conversion rate to 1.8MR=1 mile (usual 1.6MR=1 mile).
