Shangri-La has launched an offer to get Golden Circle members to convert points to airline miles through March 31, 2022.
Golden Circle gives an additional 25% bonus with six airlines + Singapore Airlines, and the minimum conversion with these partners has been lowered from 2,500 to 1,000 points.
You can access this offer on Shangri-La’s website here.
1,000 Golden Circle points convert to 1,000 partner airline miles with most programs (awful conversion ratio).
Here are the participating programs:
- AAdvantage® – American Airlines
- Aeroplan – Air Canada
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue
- MileagePlus – United Airlines
- SkyMiles – Delta Air Lines
- Velocity Frequent Flyer – Virgin Australia
The conversion with Singapore Airlines is bonuses by 25% permanently due to partnership.
Conclusion
The ratio of earning Golden Circle points and converting them to partner airlines miles is about the worst of hotel programs that we follow. So I would only do this if you have absolutely no other use for your points.
