Pelago is running a great promotion for Singapore Airlines customers till the end of the year.
What is Pelago?
Pelago by Singapore Airlines is an online platform where travellers can book activities, tours and experiences. Some activities that can be booked on Pelago include theme park tickets, airport transfers, train passes and even food tours.
Yes, it is a little like Klook, although, Klook offers additional services like car rental, hotels and route-specific train tickets.
What Pelago does differently is that it rewards members with KrisFlyer miles for each dollar spent on the platform, as well as the option to redeem KrisFlyer miles for bookings. And because Pelago is a platform by Singapore Airlines, members can often receive additional benefits in the form of discounts and/or bonus KrisFlyer miles for bookings made through it.
Get 30% off Pelago bookings
From 14 August to 31 December 2023, Pelago members can receive 30% INSTANT discount on Pelago bookings by using their Singapore Airlines booking reference number (PNR).

How to get 30% instant discount?
To get 30% discount on your Pelago bookings, choose an activity and head over to the checkout page.
Then, enter your Pelago booking details, click on “Singapore Airlines Promo”, enter your last name and Singapore Airlines booking reference number, and click “Apply”.
Unfortunately, as Pelago does not yet have a “shopping cart”, the offer can only be applied towards one activity, instead of multiple activities to maximize the discount cap.
How to split existing Singapore Airlines bookings with multiple passengers?
Travellers with an existing Singapore Airlines booking with multiple passengers can get more than 1 PNRs (for 30% off Pelago bookings) by splitting their booking!
I had an upcoming award booking with Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer with 2 passengers and managed to split it into 2 separate bookings for free, within minutes, through the live chat function on Singapore Airline’s website.
Although the live chat agent did not answer my questions regarding the existing seat and Book The Cook selections of each passenger, I found that they are not affected after the booking was split.
Get 3 KrisFlyer miles per dollar spent on Pelago
KrisFlyer members can earn uncapped 3 KrisFlyer miles per dollar on Pelago bookings, on top of the miles they can be earned through the credit card. Be sure to enter your KrisFlyer membership number on the booking page!
Miles will be credited within 1 week, upon completion of the Pelago activity.
Additional cashback on Pelago through ShopBack?
Members can possibly earn additional cashback by clicking through ShopBack, which currently stands at 5%.
The ShopBack x Pelago page mentions that bookings made with promo codes will not qualify for cashback. However, this 30% offer does not technically require a promo code; just flight bookings details.
Nonetheless, it takes just a few seconds to click through ShopBack; I would take the chance anyway.

Get 10% off your first booking Pelago booking
New members of Pelago can get 10% off their first Pelago booking with promo code PELAGOWELCOME10. Discount is capped at S$10 (S$100 spending).
As this offer does not stack with the 30% offer, consider utilizing this offer first, if you are a new Pelago member.
Rebooking an activity that was previously booked on Klook
I’d made a booking for a 1-day pass at Disneyland Tokyo in September on Klook.
As that booking allows free cancellation up to 14 days before the activity, I went ahead and cancel it on Klook and rebooked it on Pelago.
I had paid S$149.80 for 2 tickets on Klook, after a S$10 bank discount. By making 2 separate bookings on Pelago with 30% discount on each booking, I ended up paying S$111.50, saving S$38.30 (25% savings).
Check the cancellation policy on Pelago
However, I noticed that the same activity on Pelago is non-refundable. So, be sure to check the cancellation policy of the activity on Pelago and understand the lack of flexibility before committing.
