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

There isn’t even an AY award chart yet, and that partnership happened months before SQ.
I hope these aren’t fake partnerships like AM...

I wouldn't be surprised if AS ends up not bothering to offer redemptions on SQ. AS is not set up to handle well the rigors of international ticketing...and SQ has more rigorous requirements than most airlines. For example, SQ demands ticket numbers within 6-12 hours on all bookings, including partner-issued redemption tickets; AS' habit of queuing many bookings for manual issue/reissue that can take up to 72 hours just won't cut it.

I'd have thought the real problem would be lack of any redemptions on SQ anyhow. The only guaranteed AS award type (and likely the most desired) is USA to a partner's hub and surrounds. Almost all of SQ's award space (esp. in premium cabins) for partners is on intra-Asia routes. That's still usable for *A members, as you can fly NH or OZ or BR or CA (or, rarely, UA) to connect to SQ. With AS only allowing one partner per booking, there'd be no way to get from the USA to Asia to be able to use SQ anyhow, except on a separate ticket.

Placing SQ flights in priority in the queue might be enough to accommodate this requirement.
