I need to somehow find a way from SIN to NRT on Jan 20th. I'm not sure if I should move some points over and waitlist on J on Singapore again.

More data point - on return flight two seats were empty at Business. And yes, my waitlist did not clear.
So, don't expect that SQ will clear waitlist just for the purpose to fill the cabin.

I have waitlisted SIN-FRA-JFK for 2 suites. I have 2 award tickets booked SIN-HKG-SFO. If my waitlist clears I will need the miles used to book them. What is the best way to do this if I get lucky! Should I call to do this or just cancel myself and hope the miles are redeposited instantly? Thanks

Definitely call and have them do it. Ask them to expedite the redeposit (if they don't offer) b/c you need the miles for flights that came off waitlist...but I would manage your expectations. The odds of two Saver Suites coming off the waitlist are very slim.

I called back to add another day and they offered to book 1 standard and 1 saver in suites so I spent the extra miles. Might not ever the chance again.

I waitlisted my Feb 1 SFO -> SIN -> KUL in Business on Dec 11, 2016. It cleared on January 10th.

Just cancelled a saver suite award JFK-SIN for Feb 9...although cabin looks half-full, so doubtful it will go back into saver award inventory.

Thanks,

Planned to go SIN-DPS-SIN with my wife in early Feb in J. Inbound was available, but outbound both Savers and Standard only available for waitlisting.

On 10/1/2017, I went ahead to waitlist my wife on the outbound with a confirmed return, and having read the posts here, went to purchase for myself a revenue ticket (ex-SGN with DPS nestled between work trips so it was quite reasonably priced). I called SQ up the next day to link my bookings together, and to ask for a chaser to see if they could clear the waitlist for my wife. No result, so a week later (i.e. today) I called again, and her flight was confirmed within 2 hours of the phone call ^

Flight is still 2 weeks away so quite happy that I didn't have to worry about flying there in SQ J, and her on an LCC Seems like SQ consistently shows sympathy when at least 1 party is on a revenue ticket...

Has anyone who doesn't have status with SQ ever had luck calling in and having a 'chaser' sent or does that only work for elite status members?

I have no status with SQ, I'd say my chasers are rather successful.

Have had 100% success with chasers so far - I think it's 5/5 and I have no status. Not just chasers but waitlists in general usually come through. The only time I've failed was for SIN-MEL in J but that was for AFL GF weekend and I had an F saver as backup. Having said that though, I hope I haven't jinxed it as I'm waiting on a WL to clear for 3 x J NRT-SIN in 3 weeks and have already sent 2 chasers!

Anyone has 3 suite savers successful before? for SYD-SIN-SYD or any other routes

yes, 3 suites savers are possible. i got SIN-NRT before, though 1 of them was waitlisted till one month before departure

Data point---I waitlisted 2 suites saver awards SIN-FRA-JFK last month on a few dates for late Jan 2017. The only ones to clear were Jan 25th and they cleared 48 hours before. I ticketed them immediately and only after ticketing did I see that they were the last 2 suites seats left, and were not near each other. I have to admit my joy at getting this award is tempered by not being able to have a double bed in the sky. First world problem I know. We were booked in suites together SIN-NRT and then NRT-JFK in F on ANA as my backup.
