Thank you!

Need to apply for the tax facility, get miles on that, transfer everything to KF and close the card before July.

anyone renewing?

anyone renewing?

I tried again for fee waiver and the agent refused without even bothering to 'check'. I asked to cancel but was told someone else would need to call me to confirm...
I wonder if SC are hoping that VI customers don't care about $600 fees? I do.

please update if you manage to get a waiver.

my rm said it's not possible. $588 for 20k miles.

also I understand it's possible to transfer the points to privilege VI?

I think the T&Cs mentioned that annual fee is strictly non-waivable.

I think the T&Cs mentioned that annual fee is strictly non-waivable.

That's a standard term with all banks. But some are fair to customers. Others think they can trick customers into paying huge sums.

I read earlier that someone managed to transfer his points under this card to the privilege VI. I just called them and the CSO told me it cannot be done.

so which is correct?

For the priority pass, do they charge for +1 person that we bring in?
I recently this yr just got charge. Last yr, I didn't have any issues and was never charged.

SC never called me back, but my VI has disappeared from my online banking account overview. I guess that's it then. Farewell SC VI, we hardly knew ye.

Thought this is one of the few cards with such a TnC?

ya..stated in T&C clearly:

The VI Cardholder will be charged with an annual fee of S$588.50 (including GST) in the first year and every subsequent year, for as long as the VI Card is active. This annual fee is strictly not waiveable.

But quite sad lah... $588.50 for 20k miles. Super not worth it.

 

[highsulphur]

still undecided whether to renew

 

[Thanatos]

20k miles for 588 like too ex, unless you are using the other benefits of the card.

Yes but I'm weighing it against the complementary yacht if spend 75k and the complementary Fullerton spa usage

For info. Can go into the rewards page. It allows to buy rewards points at 2 cents per miles. I just bought and rounded up so that after redemption, there was no orphan points in the card. Card Cancelation will be coming up next after I receive the miles transfer.

The complementary yacht is a good experience, no need to pay a single cent and come with bottle water and some hot drink, think worth at least 500.
