Hi, thanks for your input, I do appreciate it.
However there seems to be a bit of conflicting info around. Can you please provide a link to your statement "SQ award tickets are valid one year from issue date".
I have had a look myself and all I can find is this, "11. An award ticket may be reissued, but only for travel by the same person and provided no part of the award ticket has been utilised.
Additional KrisFlyer miles may be applicable. If the new journey requires fewer KrisFlyer miles, the excess cannot be refunded. The award ticket at the point of reissue must still be valid. There will be a reissue fee for each ticket. The reissued ticket must have the same expiry date as the original ticket and it must be for the same airline. However, if the date of the first flight on the reissued ticket is earlier than that of the original ticket, then the expiry date of the reissued ticket will be readjusted to the earlier date accordingly."
