DBS Treasures benefit?

[Tp101s]

Check out the (weekend) crowd and the profiles hanging out at the lounge, you will have a new meaning to exclusivity.

Bank lounge got free newspapers, drinks & biscuits. No wine, OCBC HQ lounge got wine.

Airport KF lounge no more access in April.

Don't understand.. people who qualify for these are rich (or at least fairly well to do), why do they need to go to the bank lounge to squeeze with others?
Cannot afford Starbucks ($8) at most? Even if they go twice a week, it's still less than $100 per month. Some students spend even more than that on coffee. Really mind boggling.

at least you are honest when you say you don't understand the thinking of rich people..

most get rich from all the scrimping and saving even till the cents.. then dump all these savings in the thousands into dividend stocks just to get back a few dollars and get laugh at by others who doesn't understand the power of savings and compounding interest..

by the time they are 40-50+ years old.. they are mostly already retired and visiting lounges of all the HNW clubs and banks and traveling the world and still drinking $0.80 kopi and chasing all their RMs for free calendar at the end of the year and buttloads of free CNY red packets while those that laugh at them 30 years ago are still living paycheck to paycheck while drinking their expensive $8 Starbucks thinking when can they withdraw their CPF money..

hard truth.

I'm just simply asking a qns cos if that's indeed the new waiver requirement, it might be applied to all existing members as well. So I will need to trade more frequently to qualify for waiver. What's the Knn for?

Knn. Big small eyes.

So any summalee for benefit? Can just walk in to drink coffee and eat? How to say that to the cso at the entrance?

It's very simple: you can take a guy out of Singapore, but you can't take the Singapore out of him. The term "yao kui" fits very well. I've see similar behaviour among those who go to AGMs.


Another thing, some of us may scrimp to save money, but we don't do so by engaging in shameless harvesting of freebies.

you don't need to sign in and inform anyone you are there to take a break??

I mean the main banking hall for Holland V closes at 4.30pm on weekdays, but the lounge is open until 9pm.. you expect banking staff or even RMs to be there from 4.30pm till 9pm to take your attendance and serve you beverages??

just use your treasures/treasures private/private bank debit card and scan at the entrance and the door will unlock already..

That's bullsh*t.. you don't get rich by saving $100 more per month. You get rich by making $10000 more per month.
I go to Starbucks regularly because it's a nice place to chill and get stuff done (plus I love the nitro cold brew), hitting gold membership soon, but I also save 70% of my salary. The effort to go all the way there, to enjoy free coffee etc could be better spent to generate more $. Plus, Starbucks coffee is definitely better than that free coffee crap.

Give and take.
I only hope they don't take the minimum trading comms away, otherwise I see no point liao.

 

[TUV2008]

I think all depend on what you are looking for, for me as frequent travel the access to lounge is very good for me.

I dun trade so that won’t make a different for me.

That is quite true, it is like fish market sometime, initially they let all Treasurer members to use, them few month ago they limit to 30 pax per day. Now they totally removed the privilege.

Just opposite the kf lounge there is one DBS treasure Asia lounge for Asia Treasuer member only but I can see inside is always under utilized, dun understand why they dun open it for all DBS Treasures member.
