Use your miles for people you know Anyone can be your redemption nominee – your family, friends, colleagues or neighbours. However, once you add someone, you can't change them for six months. While adding names is free, deleting them will cost you miles or money.

You cannot directly "give" or transfer your KrisFlyer miles to another person's account in 2026; Singapore Airlines strictly prohibits the private sale or transfer of miles between members. However, the program features a robust "Redemption Nominee" system that allows you to use your miles to book flights or upgrades for others. You can nominate up to five individuals (family or friends) as your nominees. Once added, you can use your miles to pay for their award tickets directly from your account. While adding a nominee is free, there is a "lock-in" period of six months before you can change or replace them, and deleting a nominee usually incurs a small fee in miles or cash. Another option for 2026 is the KrisFlyer 'Family Sharing' feature, which allows parents to link their children’s accounts to their own, enabling the automatic or manual transfer of miles from a child’s account to the parent’s for easier consolidation. For adults, the nominee system remains the primary way to "gift" the value of your miles.
