When booking SQ and then connecting on United ie DMW-IAH-SFO I don't get the 15% discount for booking online. Should I just book it as two separate awards?
What is this 15% for booking online?  Still active?

It can be done but you may have to call in IIRC , not sure how many miles, but YQ should be somewhere between $250 and $400.

and it will require an over night stop in FRA, because SQ FRA-JFK departs at 820am.

Take in mind that when you book only SQ you get 15% discount,so that will be JFK-FRA  57.5k in R.
If you add on LH on same itinery you won't get the discount,so you will end up paying 75k for a OW and if you book TLV-FRA separate it will only cost 12.5k =70k.
Take in mind you could also go with air Berlin to TXL,DUS and to VIE with 'niki' and from there get to FRA it's very cheap with avios.

When booking a partner there is a different chart and the discount doesn't apply to that chart

1. 12.5K booking with SQ? I assume you mean in Y, am I correct? (not that I need better that route as its all Y seats)
2. So if I book it separably for a total of 70K, can I afterwards combine it to 1 ticket? (basically for the luggage's to pass through)

Sorry,I had a mistake.
I looked it over now and I see that EUR-TLV is 17.5k OW so wont make a difference booking separately.
But when I booked only JFK-FRA and later I wanted to add to TLV they told me not worth adding will be better to make a new booking and I believed them without making sure.

Regarding the luggage you could always show them your second booking and as I hear they will send it strait  through. (I never tried it)

You can't combine two SQ PNRs.
But just showing them a printout of you onward travel  will be enough to check through luggage (and take care of you in the event of IRROPs, even they' don't have to).
