HSBC Premier card – transfer time

[toddy]

Can anyone please advise how long it takes to transfer HSBC credit card points to Krisflyer?

I’m looking to book a redemption on Singapore soon…

Thanks

To answer my own question, the transfer was very quick!

I requested the transfer yesterday evening and the points were in my Singapore account this morning.

Looking forward to my first experience of Singapore business class.

Hope you enjoy it!

Was it easy to get reward bookings?

Much easier than I was expecting! (Compared to the usual hassle with BA and Virgin).

I managed to get 2 seats in business from The Maldives to Manchester on my preferred date in high season.

The prior day was also available with the following day on ‘waitlist’ (which appears to be a nice feature on reward bookings!)

sounds like a winner.

I’ve potentially got some work in Australia next year and not really sure how I want to use my points and which airline to go for.
I’ve got around 100,000 HSBC points which I’m leaving until August in the hope they bring the 25% bonus back. At which point I’ll need to decide whether to Avios them, or put them into KrisFlyer.
