How to get 1,000 free Miles?

New members can receive 1,000 free miles with these 2 easy steps:

Step 1: Get 500 miles when you register for an account

This is pretty straight forward. Register for an Infinity MileageLands account and get 500 miles credited to your account immediately.

Like all other FFPs, registration is free.

Step 2: Get 500 miles when you add your address

To get a further 500 miles, simply add your address to your Infinity MileageLands profile.

Members can check their miles transactions on this page. Simply enter the months/years on the transaction(s) that you would like to inquire on.

Upon completion of the 2 steps mentioned above, you would have 1,000 Earned miles in your account, as shown below:

Additional note: Miles in Infinity MileageLands have a fixed expiry term of 3 years, from the month they are earned.

Best ways to use EVA Air miles

EVA Air has 2 award charts, one for travel on EVA Air-operated flights, another for travel on flights operated by Star Alliance airlines (e.g. Singapore Airlines, ANA, Turkish Airlines).

Singapore to/from North Asia

For example, a one-way Business Class flight from Singapore to/from Japan, Korea or mainland China costs just 25k miles + ~S$150 (vs 52k miles + ~S$62 with KrisFlyer).

However, take note that because of current EVA Air flight timings to/from Taipei, flights between Singapore and Japan/Korea require an overnight layover in Taipei; good opportunity to visit the city for some delicious street food?

Unless….if you are that guy who feels that paying 27k more miles (worth S$440) is more “worth it” than paying S$88 more in taxes/fees:

Singapore to/from Europe and North America

Infinity MileageLands has the same mileage requirement for award flights between Asia and Europe and certain cities in North America.

Singapore-based travellers can travel to/from Europe/North America in Business Class from just 75k miles + ~S$180 (vs 103.5k + ~$62 with KrisFlyer).

Best Singapore cards to earn EVA Air miles

Miles/Points flexibility is very important in the Miles Game. Having flexible miles/points give you more options, when popular FFPs do not have any award availability on your preferred date/route.

✍️ Short summary

This card gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on online spending, up to $1,000 per statement month, with no minimum spending requirement. This covers a wide range of spending categories like online shopping, ride-hailing, food delivery and even phone/internet bills.

Cardholders can also earn 4 mpd on in-person shopping at stores that sell shoes and bags and clothes as their main business activity.

Take note that cardholders will only earn 0.4 mpd on travel-related categories (e.g. flights and hotels) and spending above $1,000 per statement month.

Having many transfer partners and up to 5-year expiry term gives you fantastic flexibility. However, take note that your points’ expiry term starts from the date the card is opened (i.e. not from the transaction date).

Pro tip: Link this card to the Amaze card to also earn 4 mpd on in-person spending like dining, groceries and shopping. This pairing turns all your offline transactions “online” (to earn 4 mpd) and lowers your foreign currency charges. But take note that SGD transactions through Amaze will incur a 1% fee (min. 50 cents).

This is a great backup card, if you have exhausted all your specialized cards with better earn rates.

Having many transfer partners and miles that do not expire gives you fantastic flexibility. Because of these 2 key factors, I recommend using this card over other General Spending cards with similar earn rates.

Cardholders are also entitled to 2 free airport lounge visits (via Priority Pass) per calendar year! For example, if you apply for the card in March this year, you will get 2 free visits for the current year, plus 2 more free visits from 1 January the following year.
