How To Add Nominees to Redeem Award Flights on the Krisflyer Programme

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

In this post I’ll be guiding you on how you can add a nominee on the Krisflyer Programme so you can redeem award flights for your loved ones in Singapore Airlines, Star Alliance and other partner carriers.

To add your spouse, children, parents and whoever, really, you can do so by:

1. Logging into http://www.singaporeair.com.
2. At the top right hand corner, click log-in.
3. Enter your Krisflyer number / Email Address and Password.
4. Mouse over and click on your initials at the top-right hand corner.
5. A one-time password will be generated. Enter this password to be verified.
6. Now find the link where it says “Redemption Nominees.”
7. Click on Add Nominees with a plus (+) sign.
8. Enter your nominees’ details.
9. Click Submit.

While filling up, I recommend that you don’t authorise the nominee unless if you want them to make any changes to your booking or redeem flights on your behalf. I personally wouldn’t do this and would like to know how my miles are spent.

You may now start redeeming flights for that person as you would for your own. You’ll be prompted towards the end of the booking process for whom the booking/s ought to be.

You may only hold a maximum number of five (5) nominees in your account at any one time. You may be able to delete the nominees only six months after they’ve been enrolled into the account. The cost of deleting the nominees online is USD30.00 or you can do so paying 3,000 Krisflyer miles (Which I think is terrible value). Deleting nominees will cost you less the higher your membership tier goes with Krisflyer Gold having the charges totally waived. You may delete as many nominees and it will still cost you the same.

Alright as for my tips:

1. Check and book your flights in the one booking if you’re travelling together or in a group.
   
   This is just to make sure you get into the same flight because by experience, one of those seats may become a waitlisted seat, become an Advantage (more expensive award ticket) worse, become totally unavailable for you to redeem.
   
2. Don’t delete your nominees if they still have a pending flight to be flown.
   Personally I haven’t had this happen to me yet, but I can only imagine the hassle you’ll go through trying to manage their bookings or try to clawback the miles you’ve spent if they’re not flown.
   
3. Pre-fill their Krisflyer numbers in your nominees list. This is to help you save time so once your loved one updates their particulars such as when they’ve changed passports, it’ll automatically update it upon redemption. That’s less work for you!

That’s about it, do help me like this post or subscribe to my Youtube Channel for updates.
