Changes to Qualification of Solitaire PPS Club Membership (from June 2018)
Instead of having to Spend S$250,000 within 5 consecutive years on Premium Classes on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir to attain Solitaire PPS Club membership, travellers will only have to spend S$50,000 in a year to reach the highly-regarded status - while it is probably not attainable for most travellers, it is essentially easier if you were to compare it on a dollar value. The re-qualification requirement will however be increased from just S$25,000 to S$50,000 PPS Value each year.

The renewal criteria of S$25,000 PPS Value will apply to all current Solitaire PPS Club members and members who qualify before 1 June 2018, and will continue to apply as long as they remain a Solitaire PPS Club member. Reserve Value validity period will also decrease from 6 years to 3 years.
