Chris AshtonWhat’s better than hotel rewards points? Points for hotels and flights.
Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts and Singapore Airlines have come together to provide members of Golden Circle and KrisFlyer enhanced benefits.
Named ‘Infinite Journeys’, the two renowned brands now offer double rewards for Golden Circle and KrisFlyer members when they stay at Shangri-La, as well as enhanced benefits and recognition for elite members in both programmes when they fly with Singapore Airlines or stay with Shangri-La.
Golden Circle Diamond and Jade members will receive an accelerated upgrade to KrisFlyer Elite Gold, which gives free access to Singapore Airlines’ airport lounges worldwide. PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members will upgrade to Golden Circle Jade membership. With Jade status, members can benefit from free room upgrades to a choice of welcome amenities and more.
Additionally, Golden Circle members can now redeem their GC Award points for KrisFlyer miles, which can be used for flight upgrades, or for award flights on over 30 airlines including Singapore Airlines and SilkAir.
KrisFlyer miles can also be combined with cash to pay for Singapore Airlines and SilkAir flights on singaporeair.com, or merchandise from KrisShop on krisshop.com. KrisFlyer members can in turn redeem their miles for GC Award points, which can be used for complimentary room nights, upgrades, and spa vouchers, as well as dinner and drink experiences.
The announcement comes after Shangri-La also announced a new food and beverage loyalty program ‘The Table‘. Fully integrated with Golden Circle, it means members can now earn points by dining and drinking at the more than 500 restaurants and bars found in Shangri-La, Hotel Jen, Kerry and Traders properties globally – even if they are non-staying guests.
