Check your rates first. The last few times I checked, official hotel website was cheaper.

Yeah better do a comparison first. And Agoda has this auto DCC in place so do be careful.

Nowadays everytime I book an SPG hotel, I always do a Best Rate Guarantee (BRG) claim. Been quite successful with it. (^_^)b

Yes I got caught with the auto DCC earlier this year on Agoda. Luckily the hotel was reimbursed by my company.

How points are calculated on women's card?

From the statement:

Spent: $1,553.41
Points 310

Note: bonus points have not posted yet.

310 points is like 0.2 points per $. Is this the right ratio?

yes. 1x for every $5, not $1.

what is the expiry for points from DBS Woman's card? one year?

 

[lyndonmaxewell]

what is the expiry for points from DBS Woman's card? one year?

yes 10 char

 

[aster1]

But if you have more cards with DBS, like the Altitude one with no expiry, then upon redemption DBS will logically use points with expiry first (even if they were the last to be earned).

Gurus, can someone enlighten me on the points awarding system. Are the points awarded in this way:

Date Transaction Made Points Awarded the next day

8 Jan $53.5 = 10 DBS points
8 Jan $42.02 = 8 DBS points
9 Jan $10 = 2 DBS points

a. Points Awarded on 16th of Next Calendar Month= [($53.50 + $42.04 +$10)/ 5] x 9= 189.972 DBS points.

b. Total Points Awarded for the above 3 transactions = (10 +8+ 2) + 189 =209 DBS points

Thanks!

That's an interesting way to calculate, did it match your statement?

Based on what I see is that the actual formula more looks like

SUM(9 * TRUNC($transaction/5))

So if transaction is $53.50, you need to divide it by 5 first and remove decimal part. So you will have 10.7 points and you need to use 10 points to multiply it by 9.

So the actual amount of points awarded is 90+72+18=180 and this is less than 189 you've calculated.

Do not calculate total amount of points from the sum of transactions. You need to calculate individual transactions first and then add them up.

UOB uses the same formula for UNI$ calculation.

This leads me to the next question: How is the first $2000 online retail spend every calendar calculated...($53.50 + $42.04 +$10+... and so on)

Thanks for the clarification.

Made a formula assumption from the statements in the T&C. I have not use this card before. Invisible999 cleared my thoughts.Thanks.

 

[spearhawk]

the calculation should be quite similar to what was discussed in the thread below
