are you looking to actually "investing" or just want to unlock?

if just want to unlock can just do the rsp into one of the bond etfs lor.
Do not invest just to simply unlock "higher" tier.
If you want to invest, do your own research and consider alternatives, not just from bank.

See below for the eligible investment items and identify their charges / fees before you jump in unprepared just to end up with a wounded head

Thank . I am not into investing and totally nuts about it. Only use spare money into Fixed deposit and use SRS fund to buy endowment plan . I guess I should just remain conservative on this .

then just do minimum rsp. 100 a month. then sell upon credit of the units. minimise the "fees" you have to pay

ega highest possible is 2.8% for current cycle (0.05% base + 1.75% bonus + 1% everyday+) for those with wealth holdings.

might be worth it to use for merry go round, but I'm skeptical that the 1.38% can stack with the 1.5% casa since the tnc (under 16) says "This Promotion is not to be used in conjection with any other ongoing Deposits promotions or offers, unless otherwise specified."

For "unless otherwise specified", the document only mentions (under 12c) that "bonus interest for Multiplier account for the first $50,000 or $100,000 would continue to be credited by the 7th working day of the next month".

so sounds to me like those of us who're already on CASA promotion (1.38%) will not be able to join until it has completed (for me is 2 June)... then again I would rather join the 1.5% casa promo if it's still gonna be the same rate then.

I have existing casa 1.5% till May. You mean 1.38% on top of my current casa 1.5% ?
casa is stackable. casa can be used for any current or saving account. you could sign a casa for say multiplier account and another separate casa on another current/ saving account.

But if you already have an existing casa on the one account, i dont think u can stack again on the same account (until the casa rewards agreement matures).

Hi not sure if can stack. I am saying even if can, only 2.88% which is comparable to ega. N its by invite only.
I received the invite but i do not think is 1.38% is able to stack on existing 1.5% casa
Given the current market situation where interest rates are low, i doubt dbs is giving 2.88% on casa

Such things you ask they also would not tell you straight up. But history suggests yes you can and it is intended similar to the Treasures special invite.
