Today’s Sunday Someday is Singapore.

The least expensive time to visit Singapore is August and September.

You can get to Singapore using airline miles and points.

You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Singapore Airlines.

A roundtrip coach ticket will cost 70,000 Singapore Airlines miles.  You will pay 160,000 Singapore Airlines miles for Business Class and 215,000 Singapore Airlines miles for a First Class Suite.

Because Singapore Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance, you can use miles from a Star Alliance member airline, like United Airlines.

You will pay 80,000 United Miles to fly round-trip in coach to Singapore.  You can fly in First and Business Class for 140,000 United Airlines miles.

If you don’t have enough United miles, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to United Airlines miles.

Singapore has been added to my bucket list.  Now to figure out when and what to do.  What are your must see suggestions for Singapore?

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best card to get started in the world of miles and points. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.

 

My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining, $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.

Chase Freedom Unlimited®

The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of an additional 1.5% cash back on all your purchases up to $20,000 your first year.

 

My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal, 3% cash back at drugstores and restaurants (including delivery and takeout), 1.5% cash back on all other purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card or Ink Business Cash® Credit Card, you can use your points to travel for free.
