DBS Woman's MasterCard

indeed a bummer if your hotel purchase did not qualify you for 10x points. btw did you prepaid online or prebook online? if you prebook online, maybe you settled the bill when you check out?

This may happen in the case of booking of hotels on some of the hotel websites, e.g. Accor Hotel. The hotels are prepaid online, but the problem is that the website captures the card information first.

Charging to the card account generally takes a few days or weeks thereafter (depending on when your stay will start). I am not too sure if they charge the hotel expenses via manual method or it is still via their online gateway. If it is inputted manually, I guess the 10X points will not be awarded.

if the website did not prompt us to input mastercard securecode, then probably it is charged manually. for such cases, citi PM or maybank horizon are better at 2mile/$

do keep us posted as I intend to book via marriott too.

So far, based on my own past experiences, I do not have input the CVC number for the prepaid hotel charges on Accor website nor the one-time code via SMS. I guess it is processed manually.

I had a prepaid hotel booking charged for IHG group (Priority Club/Intercontinental) this month. The 1x point was posted. Will let you guys know if I get the additional 9x points after march 16th.

Maybe we can list out the services/websites local and overseas that earns the additional 9x points. Do add on to the below:

1) McDonalds Online
2) PizzaHut Online

Yes this is the reply DBS gave me. I am contesting this though as I wouldn't be privy to the internal workings of the hotel. To the consumer, a booking/payment online equates an online transaction.

ANZ or UOB Privi would be better because of the 2.8/2.5 miles respectively.

I have a couple of bookings via Agoda (and those qualify for 10x points) but there are a few I booked direct from the hotel websites because I have a corp code. Some special offers like the recent one from Accor in HK is only limited to their website and not sites like Agoda

As what hclee01 mentioned earlier, guess it depends on the hotel on how they classify their merchant codes.

But you're right swatchie, to the consumer it should not matter as long as it's done online. Anyways, let's keep compiling those that we have experienced that offers the additional 9x points.

I have just confirmed that the application fee I paid to HDB through their website is not considered as an online transaction. That's like totally WTH.

I keep a spreadsheet to calculate points for my transactions and compare the points with the monthly statement and internet banking.
