Marriott Bonvoy and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer programs offer reciprocal status match opportunities. The sweet spot with this match is the accelerated pathway to earning Star Alliance Gold status, which comes with a bundle of useful perks.
Singapore Airlines’ status without flying promo
With Singapore’s borders more or less closed, Singapore Airlines has launched a creative promotion that makes it easy to earn status without flying. Between April 7, 2021, and February 28, 2022, you can accrue activity towards Singapore KrisFlyer status for shopping, converting rewards points, and more.
Let’s assume you currently have no status with Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program. In that case you’re eligible to upgrade your status to either KrisFlyer Elite Silver or KrisFlyer Elite Gold.
For context:
KrisFlyer Elite Gold status requires 50,000 elite qualifying miles per year
Here’s a rundown of the different ways you can use this promotion to earn status:

Singapore Airlines has continued to release policies that help its KrisFlyer frequent flier program members during this time when travel is prohibited or very challenging between many if not most destinations.
KrisFlyer extends Silver and Gold tiers by a year for memberships that are lapsing between March 2021 – February 2022. Singapore Airlines also rolls over all elite miles earned during the current membership year to the next one.
You can access the Singapore Airlines page for KrisFlyer policies due to Covid-19 here.
