Similar to Marriott's partnership with United, you can now link your Marriott Bonvoy account to your Singapore KrisFlyer account and get some flight benefits.
Singapore KrisFlyer Benefits With Marriott Bonvoy Status
Marriott Platinum, Titanium, and Ambassador status provides complimentary Singapore KrisFlyer Silver status with an option to upgrade to Gold status. To earn Gold status, you need to take four flights on Singapore Airlines with six months. Not a bad way to earn Star Alliance Gold status!
Marriott Gold members can earn Singapore KrisFlyer/Star Alliance Silver status with two flights within six months. However, there aren't a ton of benefits to Silver.
Marriott Bonvoy Benefits With Singapore KrisFlyer Status
Those with Singapore KrisFlyer Gold, PPS Club, or Solitaire PPS Club get complimentary Marriott Gold status with an option to earn Platinum status with ten qualifying nights at Marriott properties in six months.
KrisFlyer Silver members can earn Marriott Gold with three qualifying nights within six months. Marriott Gold doesn't provide a ton of benefits.
You can link accounts here.
Points Wire Note:
Singapore Airlines often runs good premium economy fares from the U.S. to Southeast Asia. One round-trip ticket with a connection in Singapore in each direction could be enough to earn Star Alliance Gold status if you have Marriott Platinum (or above).
Fun note: The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex offers Platinum status just for being a cardholder.
