amex bali credit card promotion

Apply for the Amex KrisFlyer Credit Card or KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card and you could be celebrating New Year's Day in Bali.

If your idea of the perfect year-end getaway involves lots of lazing in the sun, cocktail in hand, boy do we have a scoop for you.

American Express and Singapore Airlines wants to pay for your round-trip plane ticket to Denpasar, Bali. To redeem your free ticket, simply do the following:

  1. Apply for the American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer or KrisFlyer Ascend credit card
  2. Spend at least S$2,500 in the first 3 months

And you’ll be on your way to a well-deserved break in beautiful Bali.

Quickest Way to Earn 15,000 KrisFlyer Miles

This is all possible because Amex’s latest sign-up promotion lets you earn 15,000 miles in 3 months with the Amex KrisFlyer Credit Card (and even more with the KrisFlyer Ascend card) Here’s how it works.

Receive 5,000 bonus miles on sign-up: Once your credit card application is approved, you’ll be awarded a cool 5,000 air miles.

Receive 7,500 bonus miles on S$2,500 spend within 3 months: Then, by spending at least S$2,500 in the first 3 months, you’ll get 7,500 miles. To earn these bonus miles, just charge at least S$835 each month.

Pro-tip: Book your hotel stay on your new Amex Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer card to help make up this amount.

Receive 2,750 miles on S$2,500 spent: And let’s not forget your base air miles earn rate. You’ll get 1.1 miles per S$1 spent on this card, which gives you a further 2,750 miles.

Add them all up and you have 15,250 miles, which is sufficient for you to claim a round-trip to Bali on Singapore Airlines (under the Saver Award category).
