Marriott International and Singapore Airlines (SIA) are offering new member benefits as part of their partnership, which allows members of both loyalty programs to be rewarded.
The first loyalty membership partnership between the two began in January 2023, which allowed members of Marriott Bonvoy and KrisFlyer, SIA Group’s lifestyle rewards program, to enjoy a two-way points and miles transfer, allowing travelers to seamlessly convert their points from one loyalty program to another.
Now, eligible members of the two programs can enjoy a status match along with a faster route to obtain a higher elite loyalty status. Solitaire PPS Club, PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members will be status-matched into Marriott Bonvoy Gold, while Marriott Bonvoy Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador members will be status-matched to the KrisFlyer Elite Silver tier.
Marriott Bonvoy Elite status benefits include room upgrades, late check-outs, bonus point offers, welcome gifts and more.
"We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our collaboration with Singapore Airlines, providing members with added value to make the most of their travels and enjoy exclusive benefits across Marriott Bonvoy's extensive global network of nearly 8,700 hotels and resorts spanning over 30 distinct brands,” said John Toomey, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific (excluding China) of Marriott International. “This is a significant milestone that not only marks the extension of our global airline programme but also reaffirms our commitment to continuously enhance our approach to customer loyalty."
KrisFlyer Elite status benefits include bonus miles offers, free seat selection when traveling on Singapore Airlines, complimentary lounge access, additional baggage allowance, priority check-in and boarding and more.
"Strengthening our partnership with Marriott allows KrisFlyer members to unlock even greater benefits, while enjoying more ways to earn and redeem their points and miles,” said Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President, Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines. “This comes at an opportune time amid the strong demand for international travel. With this enhancement, our members can look forward to better value, as well as more accrual and redemption opportunities that match their evolving lifestyle interests."
Eligible Marriott Bonvoy members can also upgrade their KrisFlyer membership faster by completing two to four flights with SIA in six months. KrisFlyer members can receive accelerated status match with Marriott Bonvoy by staying three to 10 nights at any participating Marriott Bonvoy hotel within six months.
Members will also enjoy exclusive promotions for members of both loyalty programs, offering new ways for travelers to enjoy earning miles and points for hotel stays and flights.
