Sometimes we can’t help our indulgences – so why not earn extra rewards from them?

And as an extra perk, this card also gives you lots of lifestyle and fine dining perks to enjoy after your shopping spree.

Best For

Those who shop at luxury retailers in the 10Xcelerator program, including names like:

  • Manolo Blahnik
  • Moschino
  • Montblanc
  • Piaget
  • TAG Heuer

You’ll get 10X points per S$1.60 (or 3.4 MPD) in spending at these merchants. Points never expire, and there’s no minimum spend or cap for the 10X rewards. (Don’t use the card at just any luxury store tho; make sure they’re on the Xcelerator list, or you’ll only get 2X points.)

2. CIMB World Mastercard

PROMO: Receive S$280 cash via PayNow

CIMB World Mastercard

If you occasionally splurge on luxury items, this no-annual-fee card is one you may want to keep around. Otherwise, we think this card has a confused design at best: it tries to appeal to those who spend on luxury goods and fine dining, but it offers limited benefits beyond the 2% cashback.

PROMO: Receive S$280 cash via PayNow
Minimum Age21 yrs oldIncome Req.$30,000 annually
Annual FeeNoneFee WaiverN/A
Supplementary Card(s)NoneMinimum Spend RequiredS$1,000 monthly

This is an oddly designed card, to be honest. 

First, you’ve got an entry-level S$30,000 annual income requirement.

But half the spending categories are for things you’re not likely to spend on with an entry-level card – like luxury goods and automobile sales & repairs.Still, it’s free. So if you do get the occasional urge to splurge on a new Prada handbag or TAG Heuer watch, you may as well put it on this card. You’ll get an unlimited 2% cashback, provided you meet the S$1,000 minimum spend for that month.

Best For

Those with vehicles (repairs, accessories, and supply shop purchases all count towards 2% cashback) or a fondness for luxury goods. Unlike the AMEX Platinum Card, your luxury good purchases won’t be limited to just those in an approved list.

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.
