Haha this seems like same question by the one about Asia Miles :P

similiarly, go for Sign up bonus!

Go milelion and search for sign up bonus for new credit card. Use the new credit card, pay and cross the lump sum payment needed for the extra miles bonus!

These bonus are better than any existing cards' mile for $. (of course, they are trying to entice new customers to jump ship to them).

For existing credit card, find their preferred manner in gaining points. For example, some cards give extra bonus for overseas spending, some give it for online spending.

UOB Preferred Platinum gives a good bonus for online spending of SGD.​​​

Just be efficient in your daily spending and maximise those 4mpd deals. Keep your miles at the bank's end so that you can transfer them when needed. This should apply for your daily spend. Pretty much every mile card issued here in Singapore has KF as a transfer partner or credit directly to KF.

When you have big planned expenditures coming up, look at sign up bonuses. For example, a wedding downpayment or a renovation will usually require a significant amount of spend. At this point, sign up bonuses offer a good way to boost your balance.

The fastest way is definitely through gaining sign-up bonuses. I would recommend staying up to date with all the sign-up bonus that are on offer, especially to new-to-bank customers. You can keep track of them either via:

  • SingSaver or MoneySmart. They regularly share sign-up bonus from the various banks, say $250 for signing up for a Citibank card as a new-to-bank customer.

  • Milelion Roar telegram broadcast channel (https://t.me/milelionroars). They post all (I think?) promotions almost in real time, as well as compile a Weekly Deal Summary to ensure you do not miss out on any promotion. Best of all, it is a channel so no spams! Only the best stuff shared there.

For a more sustainable and regular method, then perhaps you can study your expenses pattern. From there, you can look at the various categories of spend and the cards that would help you maximise the miles earned from this article (https://milelion.com/2019/09/21/miles-game-star...). Hope it is not too much of an hassle keeping up with various perks of these cards when you have them in your wallet.

Sign up bonuses. That is the best and quickest way to earn miles quick. Otherwise, you can consider to use AMEX KF. Top up to Grabpay (cap @ $200) will get you miles as well. When travelling, use your miles card to pay as generally they give pretty competitive rates (some even better than cashback).

Really depends on your use case - some examples are sign up bonus, but obv actually flying (mainly f...
