worth it to get? can't waive annual fee

Can waive annual fees. 1st year not sure but subsequent years can waive.

Nothing really fantastic but the free miles and accord plus for annual fees are decent benefits.

Spend $60k to waive.

"While the Annual Fee is strictly non-waivable for the first year, you will enjoy a waiver in the subsequent years if a minimum of S$60,000 worth of retail spend is made in the preceding Card Year^"

I like the 10 visit Priority Pass as well. If you have a family with (up to 3) kids, this is 2 lounge visits for the whole family; good for the annual vacation.

Because I have the SCB priority card so got more than enough lounge visits, only interested in the 2 stuffs I mentioned. It's decent enough IMO.

I find 10 visits insufficient, each overseas trip already use up 4 visits (departure lounges at both countries) between me and my wife.

Does seem pretty decent in value though, especially if you're new to bank and can utilise the 55k sign up bonus miles. Accor plus membership is nice too, but I already have that from my Amex highflyer.

First glance. Jack of all trades. Not miles driven

Which cards have free transfer other than Amex cards?

Unlimited, yes, but only for cardholder (or +1). That's not useful for a couple + children.

Depends on how often you travel, I suppose. But if it is just you & your wife, cards with unlimited visits for cardholder +1, like Citi Prestige, may be more suitable.

That's true, if you have children, a +1 unlimited PP won't cut it.

OCBC Voyage has free transfers, I don't know of any others out there with free transfers.

Diners Club Card also has free transfers. But the earning rate to redeem is not good.

ya, same for Amex. Like trading off earning rate with redemption fees.

Technically earning rate is in a way more important, because you can control how often you want to redeem.

SCB Priority Card each time can bring one guest only... 2nd guest needs to pay..... need to get 2 passes from Citi for my wife... whilst i bring my kid in as my guest.

No difference for this card, only member+guest. Note the singular term used, read FAQ.

I think the AMEX Ascend Card is still quite decent for local general spending and overseas during June and December. Transfer is free.

maybe, if the general spending cannot get 4mpd.
