Economy, economy, economy. If I wanted to fly with the cattle, I’d always get a redemption.

SQ is as bad as QF (or worse even?) with redemptions we really want (J, F) imho.

It really isn't even close to as bad as QF. SQ has enormous amounts of J space for its own members that it doesn't release to partners.

When I had about 22k SQ points heading towards expiry last year, I boosted it to 24k with a Marriott transfer (which can be done exactly, not in some multiple that wastes points like most schemes) and redeemed for BKK-SIN-DVO-CEB in J.

I found it to be worse than Qantas, quite honestly. After 3 or so years of really trying with SQ, I’ve now decided that it’s useless and rather credit those points towards VA where I can at least score the occasional Domestic flight.

Maybe I’m just looking for the wrong dates or routes but SQ membership has been rather underwhelming for me.

I can't fathom that. I was looking recently at business class awards to London and the USA late next year. QFF has absolutely nothing ever, as usual. Krisflyer has availability to both destinations.

A month or so ago, I was booking PER-SIN for January. Again, SQ had J availability on a number of days, including the exact day I wanted ... and even through partners! QF, as usual, had nothing for the whole month.

(I have no status with either airline.)
