Cancel redemption booking, KF miles taxes refund takes forever?

Just cancelled my redemption booking 2 weeks ago and the miles + taxes are still not refunded to my account yet? Is it normal?

I reside in Singapore, and the booking was for JFK-SIN. SQ said because the ticket was not issued in Singapore, it takes time for the refund.

What's your experiences like?

Haven’t had the need to get a refund on SQ but EVA Air took me 4 weeks to get a refund, I was warned could take anything up to 3 months though.

​​​​​​Might take up to 6 weeks. The most recent cancellation I did, it wasn't a refund per se, more than like cancellation of the initial charge. Just for the record, mine was charged in SGD.

Just an update, as I have another urgent redemption to make, I called SQ to see if they could expedite the refund of miles and $. They managed to do so! The miles are reinstated almost immediately. Very impressed

I canceled a MI J RT and miles took about 8-10 days to get returned. The taxes refund is still pending after 14 days and to be fair SQ advised it would take around 3 weeks. This seems to be normal these days.

If miles are needed urgently you can tell the agent when cancelling and they can redeposit miles right away. However, this is exception process and not standard.
