Convert OCBC VOYAGE Miles into KrisFlyer Miles with No Minimum and No Conversion Fees
Believe it or not but the OCBC VOYAGE Card is where I have been charging all my foreign expenses to recently. Sure the BOC Elite Miles Card and UOB Visa Signature Card offers 5 mpd and 4 mpd respectively but I am currently in the midst of consolidating my credit cards - it also takes a home loan to find out how much unsecured credit you actually have. While poking around the OCBC Rewards platform today, I realised that you can now convert OCBC VOYAGE Miles into KrisFlyer Miles without a minimum amount (well, 1 is the minimum).
The OCBC VOYAGE Card is a great card to use overseas since the foreign expense fees are reasonable and it earns a decent 2.3 mpd - you also get a free limousine transfer when you spend S$3,000 (or two if you spend S$6,000) each month. Some of you may remember that there is no longer the option to purchase 500,000 VOYAGE Miles for S$10,000 when you get or renew the card but you may still opt for the 150,000 VOYAGE Miles option if you are interested. There are not too many credit cards in Singapore that allow you to convert your points (or equivalent) into miles for free so this is definitely a refreshing change from the usual landscape. I am personally quite interested to see how this card evolves in the coming year ahead to remain competitive in this ever-changing landscape.

While I have long advocated for the outsized value of miles (specifically for World of Hyatt redemptions), blind loyalty to a single platform is a mistake. In this article, I compare HeyMax and ShopBack, sharing why I have recently found myself using ShopBack more often.

If you stayed at an IHG property in December 2025 to take advantage of the massive 5X points flash deal, you might want to check your account balance.

As we bid farewell to 2025, I take a look back at my hotel stay statistics for the year. With 91 nights at Marriott and 70 at Hyatt, I have solidified my top-tier status where it matters most. However, with Hilton’s introduction of Diamond Reserve, my strategy for 2026 is shifting. Here is a breakdown of my nights, status retention plans, and why I am prioritising World of Hyatt and Marriott Bonvoy in the new year.
While seasoned miles chasers often look to foreign carriers for significant cost savings and sweet spots, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer remains the undisputed default for the vast majority of Singaporeans. From the sheer number of credit card transfer partners to the preference for direct flights over stopovers, KrisFlyer is the Ya Kun of the miles game.
As we head into 2026, the miles game has shifted. With tighter caps on key cards like the UOB Preferred Platinum Visa and UOB Lady's Solitaire, optimising spend is more crucial than ever. In this article, I share the six credit cards I will be actively using in the upcoming year.
