RevPoints to KrisFlyer: the 2:1 ratio, and when it's actually worth it
Last verified: 18 July 2026 · KrisFlyer joined the partner list in June 2026
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is the only RevPoints airline partner at 2:1 — 2 RevPoints become 1 mile, while all 15 other airlines convert 1:1. That halves your value on ordinary redemptions: at typical mile valuations of roughly 1.1p (NerdWallet's ~1.4 US cents), a RevPoint sent to KrisFlyer returns about 0.5–0.6p, versus roughly 1–2p sending the same point to a 1:1 partner. Miles worth over 2p each — Singapore Airlines premium-cabin Saver awards — are where KrisFlyer starts to compete. Here's the honest math.
What a RevPoint is worth via KrisFlyer
| Redemption | Approx. mile value | Per RevPoint (at 2:1) |
|---|---|---|
| Economy / typical flight redemptions | ~1.1p (NerdWallet: ~1.4 US cents); Singapore guides cite ~1.5–2 SGD cents | ~0.5–0.6p |
| Business Saver awards | ~5 SGD cents (~2.9p at recent rates) | ~1.4p+ |
| Suites Saver awards | ~6.4–8.5 SGD cents per mile (~3.8–5.1p) | ~1.9–2.5p |
| KrisPay (retail spend) | ~0.83 SGD cents (~0.5p) | ~0.25p — avoid |
Valuations are third-party estimates in their source currencies (US cents and SGD cents); pence figures use recent exchange rates and will drift. Actual value depends entirely on the award you book.
The honest verdict
For most people, a 1:1 partner beats KrisFlyer. The same 10,000 RevPoints become 10,000 Avios (worth roughly £100–200 at our usual 1–2p range) but only 5,000 KrisFlyer miles (roughly £55 at typical valuations). The 2:1 ratio is a 50% haircut on the way in, and ordinary redemptions never earn it back.
Transfer to KrisFlyer only if you're chasing Singapore Airlines premium cabins. Business and Suites Saver awards push per-mile value high enough that even after the 2:1 haircut you clear the 1:1 alternatives — ~1.4p+ per RevPoint for Business, ~1.9–2.5p for Suites. If that's not the redemption you're planning, pick another partner from the 1:1 list.
Never transfer for KrisPay. Spending miles at retail via KrisPay values them at roughly 0.83 SGD cents, which works out near 0.25p per RevPoint — the worst redemption we track anywhere on this site. If you want spending money, gift cards at ~0.7p beat it nearly threefold.
Worth knowing before you transfer
Transfers to airline partners are one-way — once your points become KrisFlyer miles, they live in your Singapore Airlines account. And no RevPoints transfer bonus has ever run for KrisFlyer (the three bonuses to date covered Avios, Aegean and Turkish — see the bonus archive), so there's no seasonal reason to wait.
FAQ
What is the RevPoints to KrisFlyer transfer ratio?
2:1 — 2 RevPoints become 1 KrisFlyer mile. It's the only airline partner not at 1:1; KrisFlyer joined the list in June 2026.
Why is KrisFlyer 2:1 when every other airline is 1:1?
Whatever the reason, the practical effect is a 50% haircut on the way in — so KrisFlyer transfers only make sense for high-value Singapore Airlines premium-cabin awards.
Is 10,000 RevPoints enough for a Singapore Airlines flight?
10,000 RevPoints become 5,000 KrisFlyer miles. Check the award price for your route on Singapore Airlines' site before transferring, since transfers are one-way.
Should I use miles on KrisPay?
No. KrisPay retail spending values miles at roughly 0.83 SGD cents each — about 0.25p per RevPoint after the 2:1 transfer. Any other redemption on this site beats it.
