i think no point chasing the "best" card la..

just get one card only .. no annual fee.. and charge everything there, and pay off everymth.

if have points or cash reward then even better but if dun have also nvm la..
after all already saved on annual fee.

:censored:

Get at least 2 cards bah. 1 for transport - Stand Chart SMART card for 6% cash rebate, no minimum spending. 1 for all other purchases - Stand Chart SPREE card for 2% cash rebate for all contactless and online spending, no minimum spending needed.

I think for low usage (<$500) fuss-free the best overall card in my opinion should be UOB Absolute Cashback (1.7%)?

no conditions like online spend or contactless. just any non-NETS payment should qualify for cashback.

You really missed out a lot of cash rebates even if you don't spend much. My CC bill a month (excluding public transport) is about $200+ to $300. Only 1-2 months will be much higher coz of special occasions expenditure. My annual cash rebates enough to cover my whole year phone bill (SIM only plan).

Low no minimum spend for me is below

1. SCB Spree or can use SCB Smart but the category very narrow unless you only target the SimplyGo transport
2. UOB Absolute Amex
3. Amex TCB purely for Grabpay purpose
