You need to have an IHG account with KE selected as the miles earner at the date of transfer. Transfers take up to 4 weeks, mine about 10 days.
Do I need a existing account for this offer? I don't have a IHG account.
I have ard 14k miles expiring in 2026. It can only redeem a Rd trip from Seoul to Jeju. I do plan to visit Korea in 2026/27 and might redeem the domestic flight if there are no other option.
Like OP. There is no banks with Korean air as transfer partner in Singapore.
