Yes that's what I meant. OP can waitlist anytime and if he has status , it will help.
But as he says that he wants to travel on Dec 22 which is peak season, chances are very very low that he will get a saver award. SQ will have no problem selling that seat as revenue either.
So if OP really wants that date, he can redeem it as a Standard award. What route does OP actually want? FRA-SIN or FRA-NYC?
