Whether it’s flocking to the beaches of Thailand, embarking on a road trip in Australia or hitting the ski slopes in Japan, travellers are set to take to the skies in record numbers this year. But the post-pandemic tourism boom comes with its own set of challenges, including crowded airports, longer waiting times at baggage claim and an uptick in hotel prices.
The American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card holds the key to overcoming these inconveniences, while adding a touch of luxury to your journeys. What’s more, till May 31, 2024, Amex KrisFlyer Ascend cardmembers can take advantage of a special promotion to fast-track their path to KrisFlyer Elite Gold status. This status unlocks perks like access to the KrisFlyer Gold Lounges in Changi Airport and over 1,000 Star Alliance Gold Lounges worldwide. Additionally, travellers can enjoy priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling – even when flying in Economy Class.
COMPLIMENTARY HOTEL STAYS AND TRAVEL PERKS

With the Amex KrisFlyer Ascend Card, cardmembers can indulge in both comfort and savings with a complimentary one-night stay at participating Hilton properties across the Asia-Pacific region annually. As a bonus, new cardmembers will receive a free upgrade to the Hilton Honors Silver membership tier.

For those seeking a rejuvenating stay closer to home, Hilton Singapore Orchard awaits.

Furthermore, cardmembers will receive four annual complimentary passes for access to SATS Premier Lounges in Singapore and Plaza Premium Lounges worldwide. This privilege provides a tranquil sanctuary away from the crowds, allowing you to unwind before boarding your flight.
EARN KRISFLYER MILES WITH EASE

For frequent-flyer cardholders, determining the right time to convert points to miles can be complex, as they need to consider transfer fees and timing.
With the Amex KrisFlyer Ascend Card, you can enjoy hassle-free conversion, as all miles earned are credited directly into your KrisFlyer account, with no transfer fees.
Cardmembers also enjoy attractive earn rates when spending with a diverse array of local partners. On top of accumulating two KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent on eligible purchases with Singapore Airlines and KrisShop, they can earn 1.2 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent in local currency on eligible transactions. They will also receive 3.2 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent on eligible Grab Singapore transactions (up to S$200 per calendar month).
Travellers venturing abroad during the school holidays have even more to look forward to, with the opportunity to earn two KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 (equivalent in foreign currency) spent on qualifying purchases in June and December.
FAST-TRACK TO GOLD

For a limited period, the Amex KrisFlyer Ascend Card enables KrisFlyer members to take advantage of an accelerated upgrade to the coveted KrisFlyer Elite Gold membership tier – currently the only credit card offering such a perk.
