Uncleanliness is unsightly.
Cleanup for a better tomorrow and do not litter anymore.

 

[cheery]

goes both ways
if all banks removed all certain benefits, customers be warned !

Then all the better, we the customers will spend less.. haha!

u are right, actually nowadays, i find myself spending just for the sake of spending to max out the rebate, very very bad addiction.

I also sometimes spend more than i need in grocery just to max out the rebate, it turn out that what i dont need actually cost more than 5$ rebates lol

[beri stupid idiot]

Yes i agree no need be rebate concious ... be happy more impt but du n spend beyong the means

 

[OngHuatHuat]

Now I don really care whether it meet minimum or not. I just spend in sequence.
Darn difficult to keep track.

but i feel happy when i optimize rebates. i feel great when i can beat the system.

 

[Allen_C_Sharp]

Ya, can feel very fulfilled when optimize the rebates while do not overspend.

Max amount of rebates with min amount of spent

Do I understand correctly that the classical 'find optimal solution' - max amount of rebates: $7 for everyday expenses + $2 for transport related expenses - is now $200?

So spending minimum $200, where $100 is ordinary expenses and $100 - ezlink topup, will provide the max amount of rebates?

Should be
1) Spend min $50 from Amex purse to earn 7% rebate, rebate capped at $5 ($71.43 spent). [Usage of Amex purse to pay for top-ups/stored value for prepaid accounts (Including for EZ-Reload by Card services) shall not qualify for the 7% rebate]
2) Spend min $50 on Ezlink for MRT/bus to earn 2% rebate, rebate capped at $2 ($100 spent)

 

[IcYFl4mEz]

Max rebate capped at $5 for normal. Ezlink i nt sure cos didn't hit over 50$ before

Spend 71.43sgd for any spendings? ( groceries, shopping centers, hotel, bars... etc)? online spends like agoda , redmart, lazada counted or not?

No exclusions for what you listed, so should be counted.

So, total min spend for max rebate - $172, right?

Think most people will be concerned about maxing out the 7% on the Amex purse for $71.43 spending. For the 2% on transport, think most people just use it without really need to track.

you are right, i did not bother to activate the ez reload on my card

 

[beri stupid idiot]

I will activate 2 times a mth ... transport is 121$ a mth including visits to tiong bharu and tanjong pagar now can skip raffles place

 

[Niaoson]

Is it a a requirement to have ezreload activated in order to have the 2% rebate for transport? I have never gotten the 2% rebate despite using it for transport.
