DBS Altitude Card, who is using?

[camholicx]

Hi,

I applied for this card for about 2 years, been accumlating the points, thinking that it can be offset as miles for my trip.

While purchasing my airticket, I realised that DBS miles can only translates to Krisflyer miles, which means it cant use for other international airlines.

Now I realised the point are of no use.

DBS points can be redeemed for Krisflyer Miles, Asia Miles, Qantas Points or Air Asia Points.

Asia miles give u access to oneworld alliance airlines and krisflyer to Star Alliance airlines. So there are some international airlines that u can redeem flights on.

Been using past ~5 years for basically all spending. Accumulated enough points for 4-6 trips to Europe/US in economy, depending on the routing and whether with SQ/QF. Should probably start exploring other CC options also.

can consider UOB Priv miles for general spending card as it gives slightly higher 1.4 mpd

Had a quick look and the differences between the basic competitors seen very marginal. DBS points never expiring is a big plus to me, though not entirely unique to DBS Altitude. Sticking with this for now.

yes you are right, benefits of DBS altitude is points never expire while uob has a 2 year expiry.

Wouldn’t Vantage have better mile accumulation with spending ?

is it really about mpd? poster talking about no expiry and also what's the likelihood of getting AF waiver for a 120k card without hitting 60k spend?

Do you need to pay the one time fee to convert your DBS points to Krisflyer miles for Altitude Card?

 

[Rong626]

I've it still as backup and for general spend. Else you should be using a 4mpd card at least
