I have enough points in each of these Programs as well: Citi ThankYou, Chase Ultimate Rewards and Amex Membership Rewards

So far I see the following rates when booking through each respective plan:
KrisFlyer: 40K Miles + SGD 80.50
MileagePlus: 50K Miles + USD 59.00
ANA: 55K Miles + JPY 11,610
Aeroplan: 80K Miles + CAD 77.50

I've never purchased an award ticket using Credit Card points directly, nor have I specifically booked a with a carrier from another alliance with miles/points.

What would you recommend as "best bang for the points" in C to fly SIN - BKK - SIN?

Thanks!
Purchasing miles is not really cheap. Since you have UA miles, if I were you, I will make use of the UA miles.

SQ Krisflyer miles is USD40/1,000 miels. So if you need to buy 40K miles, it will cost you USD1,600. I may as well buy the ticket directly. SIN-BKK-SIN round trip cost around SGD800-1000
