DBS visa SimplyGo promo is out:
https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/promotion/cards-simplygo-promo
  • Earn 1.2 miles for every $1 spent per ride with DBS Altitude Visa Signature Card
  • Enjoy up to 5% cashback on your rides with DBS Live Fresh Card (this 'up to' is suspicious, it's probably just counted as Contactless spend??)
  • Receive 3% cashback on every commute with your DBS Visa Debit Card
  • Earn 3X DBS Points for every S$5 spent on your rides with DBS Black Visa Card


The lack of clear TnC about minimum spend etc is a little troubling though.

UOB has updated Visa in the list of promos at the bottom:
https://www.uob.com.sg/personal/cards/cards-privileges/simplygo.page
  • UOB PRVI Miles Mastercard / Visa Card: 1.4 miles per S$1
  • UOB Preferred Platinum Mastercard / Visa Card: 1X UNI$ per S$5 spend
  • UOB One Card: Up to 5% rebate
  • UOB Visa Signature Card: 1X UNI$ per S$5 spend
  • UOB YOLO: 0.3% cashback

The UNI$ might be a bit tricky since (according to milelion and a few others) UOB rounds down to nearest $5 first, so less than $5 will get 0 UNI$. I recall someone saying that Visa transactions are per-ride whereas MC transactions are batch processed. I might be wrong.

Sounds like they are just saying : we are not excluding simplygo for points earning.
1.2mpd is the standard rate for Alt

I wonder will Citibank SMRT keep the loyalty with ezlink or let people use Visa and earn rewards?

I see DBS is ditching ezlink from their newly issues Posb everyday cards.

I saw this at SimplyGo website.

Visa is currently on trial for SimplyGo. If you have been invited to participate in the pilot, please enter the first 6 and last 4 digits of your credit card number:

So we just need to enter the first 6 and last 4 digits of the credit card number to register the VISA card?

I can't add the VISA card at SimplyGo website. Most probably TransitLink haven't update VISA launch in the system. How do we monitor the fare transaction in this case? :s22:
