Ah yes
So, if we assume 2cpm,
option 1> no loss, no gain
option 2> loss 192
option 3> loss 500!
Not avoid, it was offered by the bank. If i remember the 3 options:
a) Pay annual fee in full, SGD488 and get 25,000 Voyage Miles
b) Pay SGD192.50 and get no Voyage Miles
c) Pay SGD0 and use 25,000 Voyage Miles to offset
My spending last year was between SGD50,000 - SGD75,000
Option A is great since it gives you the same 'rate' as the S$10,000 annual fee option (for 500K miles). Hope to be offered that when my card is due for renewal!
I took up the 500k offer when I applied for this card, and sure hope they will offer it again at renewal time
They offered me that when I renewed last month. I took the $3,210 for 150k miles option though
That's great news. Our family of 4 burns miles like chaff
You mean you can actually find redemption availability for 4 pax??
Anyone has tried to redeem the Voyage Miles for SQ KrisFlyer miles online?
My card was retained by ATM machine and they replaced with a new card with a new set of card numbers. I have been trying to redeem my points for miles online and via the Phone Banking System and encountered the following error:
SOA Service not available
The CSO advised me to wait and try at a later time. Is this error due to the replaced card or that the system error? Thanks!
Does the Sub Card holder able to utilize the Plaza Premium Lounge Alone, meaning without the Principal card holder? Thanks.

I haven't checked my mails but currently for Plaza lounge I just use my Voyage card as entryAside from this, I just received the plaza premium lounge card from ocbc. Is it the norm to only receive it after >6 months into the card membership? Also not sure what the point of only receiving the card now since it's stated it'll only be effective till Oct'17

I had my credit card (I use it as an ATM card as well) retained by the ATM machine twice, due to the feeder being buggy.
It is actually possible for them to retrieve the card and courier it to the closest OCBC branch for you to pick up.
Whole process took about a week though.

Quite surprised the bank didn't waive the annual fee foc since you should have met the min annual spend (or at least thereabouts). Saw the recent ocbc ads on a 'fixed' min. spend for annual fee waivers (with the Voyage card stated as call to check)- so I called the bank to check what exactly is the min. spend and they confirmed that as I have already met it I will get a fee waiver for not just my card, but my sub cards as well. I will still have the option to buy miles upon the end of my membership year, but that's a good ~5 months down the road and hopefully better options are offered.

Hi kelvinloh,
Yes, the supplementary cardholder would be able to utilize the Plaza Premium Lounge without the Principal cardholder's accompaniment.
