What happens is that they give you a form which you can use to claim the fare differential at some point, and they sign and stamp it for you - with all the flight details (this was at Changi itself)...
However, SQ managed to get me into Raffles about 20 mins before the DEL flight departed the gate, so I had to sprint from the SKL all the way out there....but this was after I had spent 2 days waiting for space at SIN
!! (on my own account, as the &*#& TA gave me a waitlisted seat for this sector)
Btw, try to avoid that DEL-SIN-DEL flight - it's almost impossible to get good seats in Raffles...
