Key Notes

  • Pelago has added more than 200,000 properties across over 200 countries.
  • Eligible bookings with HOTEL8MPD earn eight KrisFlyer miles per S$1 through December 31, with a S$100 minimum.
  • The offer is limited to two uses per person, and non-flight status credits have separate limits.

Pelago has opened hotel bookings, adding more than 200,000 properties across over 200 countries to a platform previously focused on attractions, tours and transport. The travel business of Singapore Airlines is marking the launch with an offer of eight KrisFlyer miles per Singapore dollar on eligible stays.

The service launched on November 12 through Pelago’s website and app. Travelers can earn or redeem KrisFlyer miles on hotel bookings, extending the platform’s rewards model to accommodation.

How the Launch Offer Works

Under the launch offer, eligible bookings made through December 31 can earn eight KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent when the traveler enters HOTEL8MPD at checkout. The minimum qualifying spend is S$100.

The total combines one base mile with seven promotional miles per dollar. An eligible S$1,000 booking would therefore earn 8,000 KrisFlyer miles. Members need to use their KrisFlyer details when booking so the transaction can be credited correctly.

Pelago’s promotion terms limit the code to two uses per person and state that redemptions are limited. It cannot be combined with other promotions unless the terms explicitly allow it. Travelers should check that the code is accepted before completing payment.

Hotel Spending Can Also Count Toward Status

Eligible hotel spending earns one Elite mile per S$1 and one PPS Value per S$3, subject to the programs’ non-flight-spending limits. Promotional bonus KrisFlyer miles do not generate additional Elite miles or PPS Value.

The distinction matters when planning for status renewal. Non-flight Elite miles can count toward up to 20% of the miles required for KrisFlyer Elite Silver or Gold. Non-flight PPS Value contributions are capped at 2,500 for PPS Club members and 5,000 for Solitaire PPS Club members.

Compare the Room and the Final Price

The useful comparison is the complete stay: room type, cancellation terms, breakfast, taxes and any charges due at the property. Travelers who hold status with a hotel group should also check whether that property will recognize their benefits for a reservation made through Pelago.

Our recent coverage of ChatGPT Wallet looked at another change in the booking process: authorizing a payment through an assistant. Pelago’s launch centers on adding accommodation to an existing travel platform and linking eligible spending to KrisFlyer rewards.

The new hotel search is now live. Compare the total price and rate conditions alongside the miles offered before choosing where to book a particular stay.
