The issue I've found with SQ, is that while the window opens at noon SIN-time (midnight ET), flights aren't necessarily open then. For my latest JFKSIN redemption, I found low level awards opened up about 3 days after the booking window opened. And unlike JL, F doesn't seem to be released by SQ at the edge of the window, at least not on the JFK direct flight. I'll admit I haven't checked other routes, just New York.
