need clarification.

1) need to spend minimum $500 to get a 0.3% on first 80k
2) need to spend minimum $800 on Family card to get 10%, 5% etc on some Credit card spending..which exclude spending like govt services, topup to grab etc


so if I only spend $500 on say, HDB parking, do I quality for both point?

I think govn payment service is not eligible for family card S$800 rebate but eligible for bonus saving interest

Hi, how did you do this? Please share, thanks!

Got the information from BOC website:

1. For the card spending bonus interest:
2. Card Spend Bonus Interest

Enjoy Card Spend bonus interest when you spend at least S$500 on your Debit or Credit Cards during the calendar month.

Monthly SpendBonus Interest Rate (p.a.)
S$500 to S$1,500(exclusive)
0.30%​
S$1,500 and above
0.50%​
  • Card Spend bonus is applicable to the first S$80,000 of your MCS account balance only.
  • You will need to be the Principal Cardholder of Debit and/or Credit Cards to be eligible. If you are holding a supplementary credit card, retail transactions charged to the supplementary card will be consolidated with the card spend of its principal card.
  • If your MCS Account is a joint account, you will need to be the main account holder to be eligible.
  • Only retail transactions with posting date within the calendar month will be considered. Any amount charged to the Debit and/or Credit Card(s) that is subsequently cancelled, voided or reversed, will be deducted from the total amount of retail transactions in that month.
  • You will enjoy Debit and Credit Card benefits and privileges at the same time.
The following transactions do not qualify for this bonus:

  • Cash withdrawal
  • Card fees or charges
  • Funds transfer or cash advance
  • Transactions on Cards that are terminated or unsuccessful
  • The unposted amounts under Installment Payment Plan (“IPP”) and Flexi-Balance transactions
  • Any amount charged to your Debit or Credit Cards that is subsequently cancelled, voided or reversed
  • Sam payment and AXS payments (transactions via all AXS channels, including AXS station, AXS e-station, AXS m-station, etc.)
  • Any other transactions bank may determine as not eligible for Card Spend bonus from time to time without prior notice.

Is it possible to pay Citibank credit card bills through BOC? Didn't see an option for it when looking through the list of billing organizations within the BOC app.
