BOC needs min credit card spend to hit certain percentages, similar to OCBC. DBS more straightforward, I've already got salary, CC and home loans with them, so that's 2.2% on 50k. Take 6 months to build a bond ladder and I can get another 2.4% on the next 50k, so that will cover 100k of savings which is more than enough cash for me now.

Yup, what bond ladder? I thought just put in 100k can Liao?

Dbs multiplier. Bond ladder is buy just $500 or whatever amount of SSB bond for 6 mth, then it will auto run itself for 10 years. That will hit the dbs multiplier invest criteria for 10 years...

I use it to pay citibank cc. Lol

Do close the account asap as I believe this account can go into overdraft.

Hmm how much was ur balance? I left $15k in the account in Dec and I gotten $44 interest.

But thanks for reminding me in the drop to 6 counters not 0. Wanted to close account if it takes 12 month to step up. Now, lemme think again.

to clarify, the Bonus was calculated on 0.6%, per the old TnC, (not 0.3%), after dropping to Counter 6 due to 1 Dec withdrawal

Ya. I FAST out all and just leave $1 on 1st Dec in maxigain.
My interest credited on 31Dec is almost $80.

Just wondering those whose balance is zero dollar on 1st Dec, do they get bonus interest?
