Hi! Am planning to clock miles to get business class tickets for parents to travel to London next year. Any strategies and tips that I can take note of and start the miles collection?

I am existing ocbc (365), amex (TCB), uob (VS, PPV, lady's), scb credit card holder already, and holds posb everyday card. Just thinking if there is any miles sign up promo that I can utilize too.

most spendings are via paywave at physical stores or shopping online (store's website, shopee, lazada), may not foresee very huge spendings to come though. Except maybe travel which i plan to clock 6mpd using UOB lady's.

not paying personal tax, mcst, insurance via cardup yet. Worth exploring?

thanks so much in advance!

Note that many business class redemption seats are booked out well in advance (a few months), and seats are released ~1 year in advance. So if you want to secure business class seats with miles for travel next year, you'd likely need to have the miles ready by this year.

There are usually miles signup

bonuses for DBS altitude and Citi PremierMiles, you can check those out. But for daily spending, your best bet is to use specialised miles cards like UOB lady's, UOB PPV, HSBC Revolution, Citi Rewards, DBS WWMC. These will let you earn 4 mpd on most transactions.

Can check out Kris + app also, get miles for your spendings

Can sign up for HSBC revolution, they now giving ipad if spend $500.

i wasted because i sign up ...
