It is regular benefit for the card, need min $500 spend monthly.

 

[Shingoz]

Note that it has a cap of $50 a month, ie $1500 monthly spending

Minimum spend required for any rebate at all

The minimum spend is required to trigger any sort of card rebate for both cards.

If you are not able to work the $500 (credit card) or $400 (debit card) minimum spending into your monthly budget, best to look elsewhere.

Otherwise, this is a pretty good general catch-all card for online spending, contactless transactions, and bus rides.

50 / 3 x 100 should be $1,666.67.

Thanks for the correction. Find it a little too low have to switch back to other cards which I usually don't. Ended up charging much more.

is paying singtel bill on the singtel website counted as qualifying spend for the $500 minimum spend?

Can check with fellow HWZ users whether installment is factored inside the $500 spending quota?

Can check with fellow HWZ users whether installment is factored inside the $600 spending quota?

If Installment means those 0% ipp or DBS preferred payment plan then not counted. If means monthly recurrent payment then counted unless MCC excluded.

Btw not sure what you mean $600 spending quota, the min spending required is $500.

Talking of which, there are couple of alternatives of online payments, based on people's reviews - it's STICPAY ( https://sticpay.com ), as I've heard it's pretty reliable system, they have provided e-wallets and templates to make payments for any service you want. But I'm still not sure about transferring all my payments from Apple Pay to that system, cause it still has to improve it's mobile application interface.

calendar month by transaction date for DBS cards. But you referring to DBS Live Fresh Credit Card? in a DBS Safra card thread? Live fresh gives max 5% not 3%.
