Well this is an editorial independence thing which unless proven it will just be speculation

Erm...
Sign up cpd... rank 4 below CP
A lot of MCC exclusion....
60k expectation of spending per year for 1.5 <- quite a lot
Point expiry... i cant believe it... dbs altitude no point expiry
10 PP while other is unlimited +1. Expecting people who earn 120k only take plane holiday 2-3 times a year while spending 60k on credit card?
Plus 8k spending bonus....

Why not? You are putting on the hat if you yourself as an individual who doesn’t fall for such tricks.

if everyone is like you, the market would be way more efficient than what is it now. Example ppl still put money in 0.05% yielding account.

Just stating the facts. Downside of AMEX HF is the 30k miles transfer limit per year per Krisflyer account though.

Yep that does not mean there is no editorial independence.

Unfortunately the reduced bonus for existing DBS cardholders pushes the cost per mile up to 1.47 cents each, for a total bonus of 40,000 miles, which is much more marginal and would probably only make sense if you place value on the card’s other perks, like a free hotel night stay and the Priority Pass lounge visits.

I think the name MILElion unfortunately already suggest limited independence with regards to cardholders best options

The regular devaluation of miles, lost opportunity cost of investing with the money from cashback cards vs sleeping miles.

Think this is even made worst in view of covid and all the travel restrictions

Hmm? I don’t think he profess to suggest a comparison between miles and cash back.

he’s just playing within the miles arena.

don’t see where’s the conflict

actually regardless milelion getting commission or not, it is giving good information and comparison with other on market personal credit card.

1.5mpd is highest for SG personal credit card. Some of us lucky to be able to own AMEX KF corporate card which give 1.8mpd.
It just that the rest of perks like i mentioned previously make this card a big dissapointment.
Its first DBS 120k range card, yet the perks...

Lets see how the other bank adjust their VI card and MasterElite card. hopefully better perks with 1.5 and above mpd coming soon.

the problem is the new offer is terrible. prestige gives 40k miles with only 800 spend. this vantage gives 40k with 8000 spend. and the card perks are forgettable.

and there are a million exceptions for spending which makes it very specific for hitting the spending. with amex hf you can just straight away top up grab and let it rot in there but for vantage you need to actually buy something.

btw i heard next quarter the amex hf will have an option for 35k hf points instead of the statement credit.

It might be terrible, but should it be a surprise that subsequent promo is worse than launch promo?
