American Express and Singapore Airlines are enhancing their Business Credit Card with new travel rewards and redemption options for SMEs, effective April 23, 2025.
A key enhancement includes an increased limit for HighFlyer point-to-KrisFlyer mile conversion, rising to 150,000 miles from the previous cap of 100,000 miles while the conversion rate remains at 1 HighFlyer point to 1 KrisFlyer mile.
Card Members will also benefit from a more accessible pathway to KrisFlyer Elite Gold status, requiring the redemption of 100,000 HighFlyer points, a reduction from the standard 125,000 points.
Mr. Marlin Brown, Singapore Country Manager, American Express, said,
“Building on our 25-year partnership with Singapore Airlines, we are excited to refresh the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card, which is designed to help business owners go further – delivering greater rewards, travel benefits and financial flexibility to support their growth.”
Mr. Ng Yung Han, Vice President Global and Corporate Sales at Singapore Airlines, added that this long-standing collaboration has allowed them to deliver even more benefits and rewards to their customers.
“The Singapore Airlines HighFlyer business travel programme, coupled with these enhancements to the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card, offers a comprehensive suite of rewards to small and medium enterprises.

This is attainable with a minimum spending of S$15,000 on eligible Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights within the first year of Card Membership.
Existing Card Members will receive a bonus of 6,000 HighFlyer points when they pay their annual renewal membership fee.
The card’s earn rate on Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights will reach up to 8 HighFlyer points per S$1 spent.
This is comprised of 2 HighFlyer points per S$1 spent on eligible Singapore Airlines Group transactions, a bonus of 1 HighFlyer point per S$1 spent on qualifying Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights charged to the Card.
Additionally, a base rate of 5 HighFlyer points per S$1 spent awarded by Singapore Airlines for HighFlyer members purchasing eligible flight tickets.
For all other eligible spending on the Card, members will earn 1.2 HighFlyer points per S$1.
Card Members will continue to enjoy existing benefits such as 0% interest on instalment plans of over six months for Singapore Airlines flights, an Accor Plus membership (including a complimentary night stay annually and up to 50% off dining at AccorHotels properties in Asia Pacific upon annual fee payment), and Hertz Gold status with benefits including 10% off best available retail rates and one car class upgrade for rentals.
