Instant — usually under a minute

This transfer pair is marked instant and typically posts within seconds to a few minutes. Even so, occasional system delays happen — wait until you see the points in your destination account before doing anything else. These are typical times, not guarantees — always confirm award space first because transfers can't be reversed.

Cancellation: cancellation has a fee

$75 cancellation fee on Saver awards ($50 on Advantage). KrisFlyer Gold+ pays only $15.

Fee: ~$75Window: Anytime pre-departureTaxes: Refunded minus fee

Points expiration

Capital One: Capital One miles never expire as long as your card account remains open.
KrisFlyer: Singapore KrisFlyer miles expire 36 months from the end of the month earned. PPS Club members exempt. One-time 6-month extension available for a fee.
Heads up: your Capital One points don't expire, but KrisFlyer points (after transfer) do.

Step by step

1
Open your card and click View Rewards
Log in to capitalone.com and open the Venture/Venture X card that earns miles. In the dark card-summary bar, click "View Rewards" under Rewards Miles.
2
Pick "Transfer rewards"
On the "How would you like to use your Miles?" screen, click the Transfer rewards tile (the airplane icon).
3
Find KrisFlyer in the partner list and click Transfer Miles
Capital One shows featured partners first, then the full list. Scroll to KrisFlyer — the ratio shown should be 1:1 — and click Transfer Miles on its row.
4
Enter your name and KrisFlyer member number
The Primary Cardholder name must EXACTLY match the name on your KrisFlyer account, or the transfer can be delayed. Type your member number twice to confirm, then click Next.
5
Enter the amount and click Complete Transfer
Type how many miles to move (1,000 minimum). The "Equates to" line shows what you'll get in KrisFlyer miles. Click Complete Transfer. All transfers are final — confirm award availability on KrisFlyer.com first.
6
Save the confirmation
You'll see a Success screen with a confirmation code and an email receipt. Capital One transfers usually post within 24 hours but can take longer for some partners.
