Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

[shuuy]

As many know, booking SQ awards on SQ points you can 'hold' a confirmed award, as a PPS member I've been able to hold it for 6 months (until I could spend enough on a credit card to transfer enough points over!)

Usually it's book online, call-in to extend deadline. If you don't get it first time, HUACA

People say this...but I don't think it has ever been 100% the case...I honestly wouldn't expect it to be...all frequent flyer programs do this (make more space available to their own members than partner programs).

In fact, the opposite is sometimes true - i can often find J availability on Velocity that doesn't exist at all on Krisflyer (waitlist only). Having switched my points strategies from QFF to Velocity more recently, have been very impressed (which also says a lot about Qantas as much as it does Velocity)

Air Canada also sometimes has more availability than Singapore does for Singapore award flights. Sometimes Singapore will only have Advantage seats available, but Air Canada will be able to book them at their regular saver rate.

The pattern with Singapore is quite random.
