USBC USA to KF: about 48 hours.... did the xfer sometime Monday night, and it posted at ~11pm Pacific on Wednesday night.

So, the "Monday" batch rule mentioned in this thread doesn't seem to be accurate at least in this case.

I haven't transferred in a while, KF account has been dormant since I cleaned it out post moving out of Singapore a couple of years ago, but I need to get 85k loaded up for 5x business savers SIN-YGN in late December. There seem to be 7+ saver seats, so I am thinking it's a worthy risk. I only have 25k AMEX MRs right now (those seem to xfer fast) so need to rely on another chunk from SPG, which seem better than a year ago, but still fluctuating between a couple of days and sometimes more days than I would like to have to wait. Fingers crossed and will report back my two data points!

Edited to add:
25k from AMEX MR (usa) is now in my KF account when i looked this AM, so under 24 hours (but wasn't in there 9 hours after x-fer initiated).
Waiting on SPG now...

Has Citibank now converted all to Thank You Points? I tried doing a transfer from Citibank HK and it led me to that screen... didn't know that my Rewards Points have been converted to Thank You Points.

Not really. I just transferred recently from Citibank HK and it's been rebranded as TYP.

But not Citibank Malaysia yet. May be an eventual allignment.

My additional block of miles from SPG amex US showed up this morning, so roughly 7.5 days, much slower than MR transfers...
Thankfully the A330 that SQ flies to Yangon has tons of award space in I class, so I was still able to get 5 business class awards even w the delay.

Hi,

I am going to redeem DBS point into KF Miles for the first time. Is it possible to enroll the DBS rewards frequent flyer program by calling them only or i must sent the form via fax/mail ? (still trauma, i need to sent PP Lounge 3x to reach them).

I find two kind of form, 1 is KF Miles and 1 for Asia Miles, so everytime i want redeem, i need to fill form and fax ?,very troublesome compared with ANZ and Citi PM

Yes you have to fill in two forms to link your FFP if you want to redeem for KF and AM respectively. In previous years this used to be one combined form, but since DBS added Air Asia (who in the right mind will want to redeem for a LCC anyway... but that's another topic of discussion ) they separated into individual forms.

Thereafter actual redemptions can be done online or by phone.

The fee of S$42.80 per year applies from the moment of first FFP linkage, regardless of whether you link only one or more FFPs.
