It's harder for us here in SIN to earn miles for our home airline than it is for someone from the US.
Even the cheapest flight on UA metal earns 100% mileage on SQ. Cheapest SQ flight (which isn't cheap in the first place) earns only 10%.
Here's an example on a current promotion price to fly to JFK:
SIN-JFK roundtrip costs S$2,350 (US$1,854) on SQ metal and earns only 10% mileage on SQ and 0% mileage to other airlines.....
Sigh...
