The Singapore Airlines Westpac Platinum Card is one of the family of companion credit cards. This means you actually get two credit cards, the idea being to maximise your chances of earning points with its rewards program, which as the name suggests earns KrisFlyer miles towards flights with Singapore Airlines.

With companion credit cards, you pay one annual fee, have one credit limit, and get one monthly statement, but you get the opportunity to double your points. The way this works is that you use your Singapore Airlines Westpac Platinum American Express Card for purchases where Amex is accepted, earning you 1.5 KrisFlyer mile per dollar spent, and where Amex isn’t accepted, you just present your Singapore Airlines Westpac Platinum Visa Card for payment instead, earning 1 KrisFlyer mile per dollar spent. Also, if you purchase Singapore Airlines tickets in Australian dollars with either of your cards on singaporeair.com.au for travel out of Australia, you will earn double the standard KrisFlyer miles that you would have earned.

And to get you well and truly on your way, you earn 10,000 KrisFlyer miles with your first purchase with either card.

Finally, let’s not forget the usual platinum benefits such as complimentary insurances, purchase cover and extended warranties.
