DBS Woman's MasterCard

[beri stupid idiot]

frustrateddude is right on the ball, Platinum Card only earns 5x and $1k limit per calendar month.

Come to think of it I should also apply for the Platinum Card once my World Card reaches the $2k limit.

any free red wine to go : )

That applies to DBS Altitude card nia

Only altitude points don't have expiry, the rest expire in 12-15months depending on which month you charged.

 

[OngHuatHuat]

just a question, is it easy to waive the annual fee for this card, if i charge 4 digits annually to this card?

Shouldn't be a problem, DBS is very easy going with the waiver.

so i should enrol into ffp this year end and convert all the points into miles this year end as well right? (i just got this card not long ago) Or should i just convert the portion belonging to WOman's card, coz other 2 cards i am holding are DBS altitude AmEX and VISA signature.

Yes, the 1 year expiry is a nuisance. Luckily their FFP programming is a yearly fee so I can transfer every quarter else I don't know how to manage the points...

that sound like an idea !

 

[lcpteck]

it is 2 K every month right?

I think there's some confusion which I shall clear the air.

DBS Woman have 2 card types:

World MasterCard (Gold color)- $2k limit per calendar month for 10x online spend
Platinum Mastercard (Light blue color) - $1k limit per calendar month for 5x online spend

The earn rate is different for each card.

 

[lcpteck]

you spend so much online every month?

Nope, but it's good to have a backup just in case. 5x online spend is good for those merchants that doesn't fall in the 10x category earnings.

DBS rewards page got list down how many points are expiring this coming quarter. Then you see got points expiring then enrolled for the FFP and redeem the points for miles.

No need to redeem the alitiude portion first as there is no expiry for these points, just keep them until you need them or until you decide not to use DBS cards anymore.

 

[hwmook]

that sound like an idea !

As in transfer quarterly? No choice because I haven't got a firm plan for these points yet so got to try maximising the expiry.

Yes, that's the point. Slowly accumulate then redeem for flights that are worth redeeming.

if not mistaken, only 2 card is having no expiry. altitude visa & amex.
