SIA introduces changes to PPS Club programme

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) is introducing new benefits and rewards to its PPS Club programme from June 1 in response to feedback from programme members.

Changes include non-expiry of KrisFlyer miles, priority access to "Saver" award redemptions, and fast-track security and immigration clearance at selected airports. In addition, members will have access to complimentary preferred seat selection when travelling in premium economy or economy class on SIA and economy on SilkAir.

The airline will also introduce PPS Rewards, a selection of benefits which will give members additional incentives the more they travel in premium classes with SIA and SilkAir. These include double KrisFlyer miles, redemption discounts as well as one-class cabin upgrades for flights when members hit certain levels of spend.

In addition, changes will be made to the Solitaire PPS Club membership criteria from June 1, 2018. The Solitaire PPS Club is the highest tier within the PPS Club.

To allow PPS Club members to qualify for the Solitaire tier faster, the qualification requirement for Solitaire PPS Club membership will be changed to S$50,000 PPS value within a membership year. The PPS Value required for Solitaire PPS Club membership renewal will also be set at S$50,000.

PPS Value required for qualification and renewal is currently set at S$250,000 over a maximum of five consecutive years, and S$25,000 per year, respectively.

Tan Kai Ping, SIA's senior vice-president (marketing planning), said: "The introduction of these new features were made in response to feedback from PPS Club members, and are part of ongoing improvements to the PPS programme."
