Note: Chart only allows contiguous US and Alaska as "USA", however, AS connecting flights to Hawaii/Canada/Mexico are allowed. No chart for USA-Europe (though in theory you could redeem SIN-USA or USA-SIN routing on SQ onestops involving Europe and get off the plane in FRA/MAN, pretty high price in miles though). Stopover in SIN not allowed on regional awards (Intra-Asia,including South Pacific) not touching US.
"North Asia" includes China (PEK/PVG) as per latest update by AS. South Pacific is Australia/New Zealand

Tuesday seems to be the day that SQ miles have been posting for me since the partnership has been in play. Last datapoint was last week where I flew SQ on Thursday and the miles did indeed credit on Tuesday.

I accidentally discovered this fantastic partnership only last week while searching for SYD-KUL in J using AS miles.
Better late than never.
They offered SYD-CBR-SIN-KUL on SQ metal.
I grabbed it before it disappeared.
The same flights using AV miles didn't appear.

Some buggy IT with booking SQ flights. Had CGK-SIN-HKG in J booked, but changed it to F online. However, both sets of flights (J and F) were still on the reservation and everything was out of sync.
Called AS, and long story short, the F flights stuck at the J price. Not complaining

Not to bash the partnership or anything but this costs 145k AS miles, and it corresponds to "saver" availability on SQ. Saver space can be booked with 95k SQ miles and "Advantage" (ie, Everyday, non-saver) can be booked for 125k SQ miles. In fact, saver F (130k SQ miles) is widely available (but not to partners)
So, if you happen to have points that are transferrable to SQ (Chase UR, Amex MR, Citi TYP -- basically, anything) you can probably get a much better deal than spending your valuable AS miles (unless you have more than you know what to do with)
I'm just throwing this out there for people who aren't aware of their options. AS miles certainly have some huge advantages (free stopovers, free changes if you have status, the ability to earn them in droves on some partner premium cabin fares) so everyone should do what makes the most sense for their situation. But I would think twice before spending more on a one-way SQ business class redemption than a round trip JL F redemption would cost.

I'm seeing SEA-SIN for 100k miles and $19 on the date pointed out above (Jan 26)
It's high compared to the 75k miles and $55 of a JL F award... but a way more efficient way to get there (on the few dates it is available...)

I've only ever see 145k... which is nuts.

Where do you see 145K? There's a 5K premium (100K vs 95K) using AS miles (notwithstanding different availability) vs KF for business class redemptions to SE Asia.
