Revamped Loyalty Program from Millennium Hotels and Resorts
While browsing the internet this morning, I realised that the loyalty program from Millennium Hotels and Resorts have been revamped - I'm not too sure whether this is a recent change or not since I do not generally stay with the chain, but it is really looking a whole lot better now! For starters, the previous M&C Loyalty Club is now known as My Millennium Club - finally, a better name! The usual Gold and Diamond has also been renamed as Premium and Elite respectively - see table below for a quick summary of name changes.
IHG Friends and Family Rate - How much Discount in Singapore?
If you have not heard about the IHG Friends and Family Rate, you should definitely check it out (especially if you are not big on points and statuses). It basically gives you a (sometimes) hefty discount on IHG properties worldwide so long you know someone from the inside - the only proof you need is a voucher that you can download HERE and the employee's name. To get an example of how the rates will look like, check out Paul Gibbs's link HERE!

A Quick Guide to Obtaining Elite Status on KrisFlyer/PPS Club (Singapore Airlines)
Singapore Airlines is one of the nation's pride and joy. Known for her superior service standards and impeccable in-flight experience, Singapore Airlines is also home to one of the most rewarding airline loyalty programs, KrisFlyer and PPS Club. Before we go any further, it is important to take note that Singapore Airlines run these two programs concurrently and separately - KrisFlyer and PPS are different programs and therefore, have different qualifying requirements.
How Much are IHG Rewards Club Points worth in Singapore?
I have previously written an article on using IHG Rewards Club Points in Singapore - you can redeem for room nights, an InterContinental Ambassador membership, dining and retail vouchers as well as some really random home appliances amongst other things. To be honest, if you travel to places like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bora Bora or other expensive cities, using IHG Points for redemption is not always the best solution. However, this may change if the room rates have soared (due to a Public Holiday or special day like the New Year's Eve for instance) so be sure to watch out for those dates particularly when it is closer in.
Waiver of Foreign Currency Admin Fee - CIMB Visa Signature Card
Last month, I wrote about the newest Visa Infinite card in Singapore which is also the first card in the country to offer a waiver on foreign currency admin fees (1.5%). This month, the CIMB Visa Signature card has popped up on our radar as the second credit card in Singapore to offer the same waiver of foreign currency admin fee (1.4% in the case of CIMB). This rebate will be credited in your statement in the following statement period.
Complete List of Credit Card Renewal Miles in Singapore - Updated April 2019
While I have previously written an article about essentially "buying" miles by paying for the Credit Card annual fees (mostly renewals), I have also just recently discovered how to enter tables on my website (everyone that knows me personally knows that I love tables!) and have therefore decided to compile a handy list of annual fees and bonus renewal miles for myself (and anyone out there who is interested). As always, please feel free to contact me should you feel that something else should be added to the table below.
