How often do we need to do card renewal? My last trip was in 2019 but Genting app still shows silver.

When you made changes to passport.
The iKiosk no longer recognize new passport, you need to redo a new card.
Older card using 4-digit password need to upgrade to 6-digit ones.

Once silver, always silver (once gold always gold too).
I had not seen Singaporean downgraded to Red, unless they itchy go re-apply online (all new application online get red card, regardless foreigner, all foreigner onsite apply get silver.

Renewal is different.. it will reuse former data based on membership number.

Hehe.. Gold membership no need follow the commoners queues for hours..

Go inside casino to use the Gold/Plat member counter next to the VIP escalator. Q is less than 5 people most of the time, less than 20min average.

They should have the scanned copy of your old passport. It should have your NRIC number on it to verify.

Just estimate your expediture.
Dont change excessive MYR and then change back SGD.
You will be at the losing end undergone two compensated reduction.

Youtrip topup can do anytime.. u can topup before Youtrip payment, via paynow.
Youtrip ATM cash withdrawal is a no-no to me, there is a service charge

You must understand that you can use Youtrip in SG like normal EZlink, pay bus fare and payment in 7-11/Cheers/Gas station. There is no disadvantage having few hundred dollars inside.

My typical day is to bring S$2-3k there, and convert straight to MYR at SG local money changer with best rate.
Withhold 200MYR, and rest deposit into the first ETG machine..
With luck, I probably will have in excess for few hundreds in less than an hour. Cash out the excess and start your day in Genting.

Try not to exchange back to SGD, even if the exchange rate increased in few decimals, it is peanuts, few tens of dollars. Leave it in your card. I had 6.5K MYR in my card.. when it hits 10K, I flush out 3.5k, leaving the capital untouched. $3.5K is about 1K SGD. can eat many plates of CKT and Nasi Lemak, TomYum and etc..

I know, many people are not hardcore gambler like me, but still.. it not economical convert back.

Not many cash in my wallet too.. It quite safe remain in the compound, step outside into the open air carpark.. you are on your own.

Keep the money and important stuff in the hotel room safe. BUT... I don't know the hotel safe is safe??!!

Wow thx for the replies.

My capital for the trip is also ard 2 to 3k sgd but I didn't want to change all in2 RM 1st. Cos it will be splitted in2 3 parts, I might not need the 2nd n 3rd part if I m lucky.

I m aware of the withdrawal fee but will only top up n withdraw if needed.

No hardcore at genting so will be converting back to sgd hence not intending to xchange my whole capital in 1 go to RM.

So I guess my plan will be xchange 1k sgd first, 3k RM for my 1st part capital rest for the food and all. Then topup/WD from my utrip card if needed(hopefully not)

Have not been to Genting since Covid. But what I use to do is to change M$ in SG. Then transfer money to my Singapore CIMB Starsaver account. Can withdraw M$ at CIMB ATM in Malaysia using ATM card when necessary.

This method still valid now ?

 

[givansingapore]

I lost mine gold card.. So have to q lor..

If you are gold tier, just go to the counter outside the Genting Club. There is usually no long queue for Gold/Platinum members over there.
