I've just cleared a SINMAN in Raffles today for next week that I've been waitlisted on for 5 weeks, despite numerous unsold seats. The last two waitlists simply didn't clear so I had to make other arrangements.
I remember in the good old days how they all used to clear almost immediately if you were PPS even if there was just a few seats left in the cabin, regardless of fare class.
The one remaining benefit of PPS may turn out to be worthless as well.

Just a query....having a very confusing moment....
Scenario A: Say I am QPP2.I assume TPP needs SGD $250K spend...and with say 238 sectors on begining Sep, my sectors gets converted @ $1000/sector, so that means SGD $ 238,000...then all it needs is another $12,000 spend to get TPP.Is that right?
Or is it like scenario 2 : I will not get TPP using $250K 5 year rules. When you have 238K per your calculation, you only QPP3.. thus 3 years only and 5 years is required per new rules.
What's the interpretation of the rules?
Can anyone with a clear head help me decipher? Thanks....Last edited by SQFAN; 6 June 2007, 04:56 AM.

From the leaflet of PPS Changes:
To qualify for Solitaire PPS Club membership:
A cumulative PPS Value of S$250,000 within five consecutive years of PPS Club membership.Last edited by CGK; 6 June 2007, 05:01 AM.

In my opinion, Scenario A would not work because of the clause five consecutive years .

Originally posted by taipeiflyer View PostDear SQFAN, I disagree with CGK's interpretation. I believe Scenario A works just fine. There is the clause "five consecutive years." However, that is directly preceded by "within." Were this to say 250,000 and 5 consecutive years PPS, then you would be restricted in achieving PPS until a five year period had passed. However, this is not the case. It is merely saying that you have 5 years to reach that threshold, and in the event you are unable to do so, you do not reap the benefits of solitaire. The closest analogy i can consider is paying a car loan on a 0% interest period. As long as you pay back the car within, say, 24 months, you are fine.... you don't have to wait until 24 months have passed to gain title to the car if you have paid it back within 4 months. Once you have reached the 250,000SGD threshold, you are eligible to receive the benefits of solitaire status- as long as that threshold did not take LONGER than 5 years to achieve.

This question I know well.
If you're not PPS yet; as I gather from your profile; your 22 sectors will NOT become $22,000PPS Value on 1/Sep. Your qualification from 1/Sep will be based on what you have already accrued as $PPS Value on that day. As you now have $20,000PPS Value, you'll still need to spend another $5,000 post 1/Sep

Thus, after Sep 1, in order for you to qualify for PPS, you have to have an additional SG5,000 PPS Values within a year after your first flight that gave you PPS Value (which was posted as sectors now).
