Yup, you can do this but the only valid routing for this would be SIN - TYO - /stopover/ - LAX (or LAX - NRT - /stopover/ - SIN - XXX the other way around but XXX should not cause a backtrack) on SQ, and it doesn't need to be on the same flight number, so you can do SIN - NRT on SQ 638 and then NRT - LAX on SQ 12. Don't know if you can do SIN - HND then NRT - LAX though.

Well, would SYD/PER/BNE-SIN-TYO-/stopover/-LAX be legal?

Troopers

Yep

It is normal that the leg that you changed the date for shows as "reserved" after adding the stopover. The ticket needs to go for reissue and it usually takes 2-3 days to be finalized and SIA will email you the updated eticket. If stopover (+ possible additional taxes / security fees) payment fails like in your case they can't complete the reissue and have to reach out to you / have you call in to settle.

I asked elsewhere, but this seems to be a more appropriate place for my questions:

Can I pay $100 each to add 5 day stopovers in both NRT and SIN on an LAX-DPS saver award flight? (I'm assuming yes)
Can I pay $100 each to add a 5 day open jaw between NRT and HIJ and a 5 day stopover at SIN on an LAX-DPS flight? (I'm assuming no)
Can I call and book a saver award flight with stopovers/open jaw as described above, and purchase two tickets for additional partners in the same phone call, with the possibility of getting seats together? (I'm assuming no here too but would love to be pleasantly surprised)

Thanks so much!

No, only 1 stop over is allowed on one-way saver awards so you need to choose either NRT or SIN, or book the first award LAX - SIN with a stop over in NRT and then a 2nd award SIN - DPS assuming you have enough miles.

You can book the saver award with a stop-over over the phone because this cannot be done online; they should also waive the phone booking fee for this. The cash tickets need to be booked online unless you want to pay for the phone booking fee for each ticket. Given that the new fare classes make you pay to select seats depending on the type of ticket you book (F and J are free, Y+ is free except extra legroom, Y flex is free except extra legroom, Y Standard is free for standard and forward seats, Y Lite is pay to select a seat) you can easily just pay for seat selection when you book the award ticket for all 3 seats.

I don't seem to be able to book a Stopover in J on a standard award through the website

For one way saver need to request stopover by phone and pay USD100

Poster said 'standard award' which means they have a free stopover. Regardless, free or paid stopovers must be booked over the phone.

I'm being refused a stopover on partner saver one-way MPM-ADD/(stop)/ADD-KGL for 32.5k SQ + $100USD. I have the reservation on hold with record locator but they refuse to ticket without paying 65k SQ each + taxes.

Has this stopover policy changed? They have tried all kinds of excuses. "Cannot back track". "Must be a direct nonstop flight for 32.5k mile price" (one-doesn't exist). "Have to call to book partner airlines" (clearly not correct...) "Partner airlines we don't allow stopovers".

Unfortunately their website is broken and will not return flights for MPM-KGL at all. I can search MPM-ADD and ADD-KGL separately no problem.

Suggestions?

Edit = I thought I read enough above, but missed that someone suggests partner awards only allow a stopover on round trip... so I guess that would explain it.

I'm trying to book a stopover on a one way saver suites class flight on SQ JFK-FRA-SIN with the stopover in FRA. I understand you can't book this on the website. However, there are no open flights when I want to travel and just options to waitlist. Can I waitlist a bunch of dates for JFK-SIN and if multiple flights clear the waitlist then call in to ticket it and add in the stopover and pay the $100 fee? What I am trying to figure out is how can I waitlist a JFK-SIN flight with a stopover in FRA. I've been told by SQ agents that if I wait list JFK-SIN and SIn-JFK individually that it is two reservations and they can't link them to give me the free stopover later. I really don't want to dump another 120k miles into SQ and then be told nothing is going to clear no matter how many dates I waitlist.

Yes, you can do that. As with any stop-over booking you can't do this online but only over the phone (so not sure what your pricing refers to). Take note that you are priced as if all travel was in the highest class you booked:

SYD-SIN in F and SIN-HKG in Y will price as a full F award (80,000 miles as saver) plus 100$ stop-over fee.
