Since 10x pt is only capped at $2k per month, then if I spend $2500 using this card. The remaining $500 will be 1x point? Or?

Yes 1x point, since the 9x points capped at 3600 for $2000 online

PayPal

Hi everybody, I am planning a bigger online purchase of ~4000 USD and plan to use my new DBS WWMC to make some miles out of it.


Problem is, the payment is handled via PayPal. Not through direct Login, but by providing the credit card information on the PayPal site.

As I understood from other threads, this is excluded by DBS from gaining any bonus points, or is this only true for sending Money to PayPal and using my balance from there? Is the case where PayPal only handlese the payment different?

Additional questions:
- The DBS Points would only be granted for the first 2000 SGD, correct?
- Alternatively I have an Altitude card, would this be the better choice here?
- Any other advise to make the most out of the purchase?

Thank you :)

Can someone update the Google spreadsheet, please?

Oct. Should have credited 16 Nov.

Few back and forth messages via internet banking concluded with Play Store and The Entertainer "are not recognised as online transactions and hence, not awarded with the bonus points".

Give.Asia not awarded due to being classified under Charitable Organisations.

pay via paypal is excluded from 10X meh? i didn't really confirm with dbs cso for paypal txn but i can ask.

1. Yes, 10X only for first 2k SGD spend per month. Thereafter, it's only 1X or 0.4 mpd.

2. Assuming 4000 USD * 1.4 = 5600 SGD.
DBS Altitude will net you 2 mpd because it's made in FCY.
"Local spend is identified as card transactions posted in Singapore dollars, and overseas spend is identified as card transactions posted in foreign currencies." from https://www.dbs.com.sg/iwov-resources/pdf/cards/altitude-card-T&Cs.pdf

So you should get 5600*2 = 11200 miles (or 5600 DBS pts).

DBS WWMC T&Cs are below.
"The 10X DBS Points are only applicable for the first S$2,000 online spend per calendar month. For every S$5 online spend, 1X DBS Point (for local transactions) or 3X DBS Points (for overseas transactions) will be awarded one working day after the transaction posted date. The remaining additional 9X DBS Points (for local transactions) or 7X DBS Points (for overseas transactions) will be awarded on the 16th of the next calendar month. If the above days are not working days, the DBS Points will be awarded on the next working day." from https://www.dbs.com.sg/iwov-resourc...omans-platinum-mastercard/womans_card_tnc.pdf

You will get at least 2000*4 miles for the first 2000 SGD spend, but I'm not sure if the remaining 3600 SGD will be classified as overseas spend (for 3X).

Has anyone recently got this card without meeting the 80k p.a requirement?

I read before in this post that some people managed to get it before without 80k p.a, but was wondering how strict DBS is with this requirement?

If you have a dbs/posb card already, you can apply for dbs wwmc as add-on card via ibanking. No need meet $80k at all.

Thanks for the quick response.

As an add-on card, I'm guessing it'll use my current credit limit?

Will my credit limit be shared between the two cards? Or will the credit limits of each card be independent to the respective card? Thanks!
