Solitaire PPS Club offers a faster path to a unique luxury experience. To achieve this status, you must spend no less than SGD 50,000 in a calendar year, and you are required to maintain this level of spending each year to maintain it.
Exceptionally, PPS Club status can be granted to members who have spent a minimum of SGD 250,000 over five consecutive years.

Achieving this prestigious status requires significant spending throughout the year, so the privileges you receive are ultra-exclusive, such as:

– Access to SilverKris First Class lounges worldwide, even if the flight is booked in Singapore Airlines Business Class.
– Personal concierge at the airport to facilitate connections, transfers between terminals, and more.

Earn reserve value
This is the additional PPS Value you have spent during the year. That is, beyond 50,000, it is returned to you in the form of credit, called Reserve Value.
For example, if you spent 54,000 SGD during the year, the reserve value earned is 4,000 PPS.
The reserve values – valid for 36 months – are not used to earn rewards, but only to renew your Solitaire PPS Club membership.
