PROMO: Receive S$280 cash via PayNow

Annual Fee: None

Minimum Income Requirement: S$30,000 per year (Singaporean/PR)

It’s not every day that you come across a 10% cashback rate, but that’s what you’ll get with the CIMB Visa Signature. Eligible categories include beauty & wellness, online shopping, groceries, pet shops & veterinary services, and – for some reason – cruises.

You’ll notice that entertainment and dining categories aren’t included, but we’re not complaining: there are other cards that offer cashback on those. In any case, there’s a cashback cap of S$100 per month (S$20 per category), so this card is best combined with other high-rebate options anyway.

All other retail purchases will earn 0.2% cashback (with no minimum spend or monthly cap).

Best for: Pet owners and online shoppers.

Current promotion: Receive S$280 cash via PayNow with a minimum spend of S$988 on eligible goods and services within 60-day period following card approval. (Valid until 30 April 2024) Click to apply.

That 1.6% rate is neither the best nor the worst rate on the market: you’ll find the Citi Cash Back+ Card sits neatly in the middle of the range. But combine that with the card promotions and it’s an enticing offer.

Best for: Those expecting big purchases that other cashback cards wouldn’t cover – or those who don’t want to have to track their spending while still accumulating cashback.

That’s where this credit card can come in handy. Like any CIMB card, it charges no annual fees, so you won’t lose out even if you’re not using it for a period. But if you do happen to be booking a trip in excess of S$2,000 in a particular month, you’ll qualify for 2% unlimited cashback.

There’s a cashback cap of $60 ($20 per category), so you’ll have to do a bit of micromanaging to make sure you’re only spending up to S$250 with the online and mobile payment categories. But it’s easy enough to automate those if, say, you use this as the default card for App Store payments and online shopping, for example.

All other transactions earn you 0.3% cashback.

Annual Fee: S$194.40 (first year fee waiver)

Minimum Income Requirement: S$30,000 per year (Singaporean/PR); S$45,000 (foreigner)

If you have a DBS Multiplier Account, you already know that you’ll maximise your interest by getting more DBS products – including a DBS credit card. That makes the DBS Altitude Card a good addition to the travel-savvy spender’s wallet.

The DBS Altitude offers a decent 1.2 MPD on local spend and 2 MPD on overseas spend, but the real appeal is in its partnerships with Kaligo and Expedia. You’ll get 6 MPD on flight and hotel transactions at Expedia and a cool 10 MPD on hotel transactions with Kaligo. Even if you don’t go with either of those, you’ll get 3 MPD on any online flight and hotel transactions (capped at S$5,000 monthly).

DBS Points earned don’t expire, so you can take as long as you want storing up those miles. You can easily convert the points into miles with KrisFlyer or any of the DBS partner airlines.

Best for: Young working adults who enjoy shopping for the best flight and hotel deals.

Current promotion: Receive up to 37,000 Miles with a minimum spend of S$2,000 within 30 days from card approval date. (Valid until 31 January 2024) Click to apply.
