Members of Singapore Airlines’ Krisflyer frequent-flyer programme can now convert GrabRewards points to miles as part of a tie up with ridesharing app, Grab.

Under the new arrangement, travellers will also be able to book Grab rides to the airport in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam through the SingaporeAir mobile app. Ordering can be done on-demand or up to seven days before their flight.

“We are thrilled to bring more convenience to our customers on the ground and in the air through our new partnership with Grab, while also offering Krisflyer and GrabRewards members the opportunity to convert points to miles and redeem them for award flights or flight upgrades,” said Campbell Wilson, Singapore Airlines’ vice president of sales and marketing.

The first 5,000 customers to book rides will receive GrabPay Credits worth S$10 in their account for bookings make through the airline’s app. There is also a pair of business class tickets to Hong Kong up for grabs for the user with the most rides. The promo code “GRABSQ” must be entered in the promo field in the Grab app on bookings made before November 9 in order to be eligible.
