The other part of this campaign is transfer between the two programs. But I'm shocked at the horrendous transfer rates between KrisFlyer and Golden Circle.
12 KF miles = 1 GC point
1 GC point = 1.25 miles
That means to get a free night at the Shangri-La Kowloon would be 78,000 KF miles, when you can usually buy this room for $250-$400/night. That values KF miles at less than $US0.005 per mile! Shockingly awful.
