Can you get PPS while crediting to another Star scheme?
Are you able to get the PPS on SGD 25,000 spend on SQ flights while crediting to another Star Alliance scheme, or do you need to be crediting the flights to KrisFlyer to qualify?
My apologies if this question has been answered already but I searched for an answer without success.

I use FQTV only and it works fine for the double dipping. My PPS status tracked too automatically.

I have a KF account for which I've added the other FF details. When I check in for my SQ flight, I do not log into my account using KF credentials. Just use my other FF no to enter the details. The system picks everything up rather well.
You could also just request for FQTV only to be entered at check in.

Then through PPS/ KF registration, you put in your preferred FFP in your account. So whenever you fly you just need to give them your KF number which will automatically link to your preferred FFP.
On your BP you will see something like :
SMITH / JOHN MR
SQ00123456789 K
UA*G
That means that your flight is registering you're crediting your SQ revenue to KF/PPS and your flight miles to UA MP ...
Once your qualify for PPS, the above 'K' will change to 'P' or 'G' (I think cos it has been a while since I was PPS.. )
SQ's Kriscom (their GDS) system will automatically search out your name when you do any booking - either online or through a OTA, and even if you don't put in your FFP, SQ will automatically append your KF number to your booking if your name matches. So its good if you can do the above - and register your preferred FFP with KF/PPS.

It can be a bit tricky when you're trying to credit SQ flights selectively. Once every few years I credit to LH M&M to keep up my Senator status, and at some stations they seem to have difficulty making the M&M number 'stick', requiring a redo (because boarding pass show wrong FF acct).
I don't change my default account information because I sometimes choose to credit each sector of a RT ticket to dif accounts. Just make sure that your boarding pass is printed with the right account reference as Guy Betsy wrote, be persistent if its wrong, and you'll be fine.
