The 20% cashback promo on public transport is only from bank transfer top up right? So if I top up 100 now, do I get 20% only in Jan, or also in Feb and Mar? Or do I have to top up 100 every month to get the 20%

every month

What card to use to top up or doesn't matter since no points given? Can use simply go on Google pay?

Can route a long way from GrabPay, which still enjoys rebates from banks.

every month

With the cap at 10 per month, effective rebate is probably closer to 10%

dunno how you calculate, I got my full 20% for monthly fares less than $50. Topup from bank, not part of the calculation since it can be transferred out.

Oh I didn't know can be transfered out and have to use regardless.

Does it matter if I do the bank transfer via "connect new bank account" or "regular bank transfer"?

Is there any restriction on withdrawing part of the initial 100 deposit to get the rebate? Or can withdraw any amount anytime to anyone after depositing?

can withdraw anytime to your own account. To others I not sure. Just leave some money to be deducted for simplygo.

When will the 20% rebate credited

 

[silverbomb]

for those that received the dec rebates, did it tally as 25% or it didn't?

i tried tallying but it was far off, more closer to 20% (still not accurately 20%). if it's a few cents off usually i just give or take normally.

 

[fr33d0m]

If you have transactions near the end of the month, most likely it got posted in next month. SimplyGo takes like 5 days to post a transaction.

Need some advice - will be travelling to Europe and USA for 1.5 months. And then to Japan or South Korea at the end of the year. Should I get the metal, premium or the metal?

Thanks. I do have the Instarem Amaze. Why is it better than Revolut?

no fx fees, same as revolut. But can get rebate/points on the underlying card and also 1% Amaze rebate. E.g. 10x points on dbs wwmc for $2k per calendar month, citi rewards mastercard $1k per statement month, 8% for selected spend categories on maybank family and friends

Confirm all the experts are here! Haha. I use the Amaze instarem and it is linked to the DBS WWMC but I'm probably going to spend more than 20k for this trip. So probably have to use citibank Premier miles as a second card?

Amaze FX rates are worse than Revolut. Cannot withdraw cash using Amaze. 1% cashback if you have metal but you need to spend a lot to break even. Depends on the use case - I use both.

Amaze 1% rebate more than make up the fx rate
