KrisFlyer for Families
Open all
As part of the enrolment process, the Title, First and Last name, KrisFlyer membership number and relationship of the adult granting consent to the child will have to be provided. The First and Last name must match the First and Last name of the KrisFlyer member in our records based on the KrisFlyer membership number provided.
This requirement was put in place to be compliant with legal requirements in relation to the processing of the personal data of individuals under the age of 16.
We require the parent/guardian to have an existing KrisFlyer account with a valid email address where we can reach out. We will also check that the first and last name of the parent/guardian matches the details of the KrisFlyer account in our records.
Any outstanding requests for parental / guardian consent will automatically appear in your Account Summary page after you have logged into your KrisFlyer account on singaporeair.com
All pending enrolments will be valid for 48 hours after which they will be automatically purged. A new application submission will need to be made.
Only parental / guardian consent is mandatory during the enrolment of a child under the age of 16. You can link your accounts any time by logging into the child’s KrisFlyer account, selecting Profile, and checking the option to link accounts under Parent / Guardian Information.
Here’s how you can link your child’s KrisFlyer account and transfer their KrisFlyer miles to your account:
Setting up parental link
Step 1: Log in to your child’s KrisFlyer account
Step 2: Navigate to the Personal details page, and turn on Parental Link
Step 3: Accept the invitation to link accounts from your KrisFlyer account. Once you accept the invitation, your accounts will stay linked until your child turns 16
Transferring miles
Step 1: Log in to your KrisFlyer account
Step 2: Navigate to the Miles → Transfer miles page
Step 3: Enter the amount of miles you wish to transfer
Step 4: Pay the transfer fee to confirm the transfer
You can transfer up to 50,000 KrisFlyer miles from your child’s account to your account each calendar year. Do note that a transfer fee of USD 5 or 500 KrisFlyer miles per 5,000 miles (or part thereof) will apply.
Immediately after the linking of accounts is complete, there will be a 24 hour period where the transfer of KrisFlyer miles is not allowed.
We have also put in place additional security checks on the child’s account to prevent fraudulent activity. These checks include: At least one KrisFlyer miles accrual from a flight* in the last 36 months and no KrisFlyer miles accrual from credit card transfers or co-brand card spends in the last 36 months.
After the initial 24-hour period has passed and the child’s account fulfils the checks mentioned above, you will be able to transfer KrisFlyer miles from your child’s account to your account, subject to a cap of 50,000 KrisFlyer miles per calendar year to be transferred out of any child’s account.
*Accrual from flying Singapore Airlines, Scoot, or any of our airline partners.

You can only transfer KrisFlyer miles from child to adult accounts. The reversal of successful transfers is also not allowed.
Each child account can only have one parent / guardian account linked to it, and changes to parent / guardian information are only allowed before the linking is complete.
Each adult KrisFlyer account can be linked to a maximum of five child accounts. Once a child turns 16 years old, his/her KrisFlyer account will be automatically delinked from the parent / guardian’s KrisFlyer account.
After successfully linking accounts, no changes will be allowed for the security of the child’s account.
Service fees are calculated for every block of 5,000 KrisFlyer miles (or part thereof) transferred. You will be given the option to pay a fee of USD5 or 500 KrisFlyer miles per block (or part thereof). If the 500 miles option is selected, the service fee will be net off from the amount of KrisFlyer miles to be transferred.
