The death toll has sounded for this card. TnC changed yet again.

Another card to be kept in my drawer...forever.

Not surprising since they are so active here

Funny exclusion did not include others that should be added haha

I feel that the 10X online spending is still very much worth it. 4miles/$ is the best out there.

Clamping down on prepaid card top-ups for 10X is just so they can rationalize the offering and really to be honest, prepaid card tops up should not be eligible. So IMO still a great card to have.

If every month you use up the $2,000 online spend, ever year you can still earn 96,000 (based on $24,000 spending) KF/Asia Miles.

If you use the UOB PRVI or Citi PM and assuming ALL your purchases are overseas, you will need to spend S$40,000 equivalent to get the same amount of miles.

Tried asking the cso, but they need to check other depts.

Anyway, the FEVO transaction i made on 1st June (and still unbilled) had earned the 1x DBS points already.. So I guess the tncs had not affected those transactions.

Nonetheless, shall see when it will take effect.

maybe u can call and advise us?

dbs haven reply on this thread, thought they are always reading

 

[lighter]

uber and grab payment dont count as online spending right?

 

[memorandum]

Can check how u guys know which transactions earn or never earn the bonus? Did u call the cso and go through the previous month billing?

by tracking.

record your miles reflected in ibank.

after spending, once trnx posted, see if the value goes up, if it does, den yes lo (for 1x). Subsequently, on 16th of every month see if the 9x comes or not lo haha

 

[n1ck88]

Do your own calculations and see if it tallies with statement. U can also call cso and ask specific transaction how many points was awarded. They can even tell u if tranx was paid with otp etc

Utility as in SP services can pay online? Phone bill still can get 10x points

 

[IcYFl4mEz]

if uber/grab/paypal payment as well don't count as online this card has become totally useless and can be thrown in garbage

dbs just lost a shitload of revenue from this T&C... idiots!

anyone confirm on uber/grab/paypal use?

 

[naro]

I dont think so

The reason why many banks exclude these items is they don't earn any revenue on them anyway. So that means with the cashback or miles they are giving you, they are actually losing money. Which is likely why the clamp down. Blame visa / Mastercard who determine the revenue banks get from each category

With this change, this card is useless compared to DBS live fresh isn't it?

10x points dont even convert to 3% for most of the redeemable items. Unless you are going for 4miles/$
