What are the Key Benefits of the American Express Personal Card?

First of all, unlike other loyalty programmes, the American Express Personal Card membership rewards points do not expire. Furthermore, with no restriction on the number of points you can stand to accumulate, you just need to choose the reward you want and you'll have time to get it, pretty much the skies can be your limit as you can use the points the way you want from redeeming shopping, travel and entertainment rewards to offsetting purchases made on your Card.

Unlike with other competing loyalty programmes, the Membership Rewards points with the AMEX express personal card never expire and furthermore, with no restriction on the number of points you can accumulate, you only just need to choose the reward you want and you'll have time to get it as pretty much the sky's the limit.

With this card you can use points the way you want, right from redeeming shopping, travel and entertainment rewards to offsetting purchases made on your Card. So I encourage you to try it and use your membership rewards points the way you want to use it. Visit the membership rewards page to find out more ways you can use your points.

With their Purchase Protection whether you're buying online or shopping at your local supermarket, the Purchase Protection offers you repair, replacement or reimbursement on eligible purchases made with your Card that has been damaged or stolen within 90 days of purchase. With coverage up to S$8,000 per item and up to a maximum of S$80,000 per calendar year per Card Member Account.

With the membership rewards programme, you earn 2 Membership Rewards points for every S$1.60 spent. Enrolment into the Membership Rewards Programme is required for points to be awarded however and you may choose to enrol either as a non-frequent traveller option of $10 you earn membership rewards points towards redeeming dining and shopping rewards OR the frequent traveller option of $40 you earn Membership Rewards points towards redeeming dining & shopping rewards, flights and hotel stays.

I like the idea that I can receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points when I get to successfully refer any of my friends to the card. Even more so as my friends can also receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points upon spend of S$5,000 in the first 3 months of their Card Membership. I think that is pretty much a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.

I love that I can enjoy Interest rates starting from 5.80% p.a. (EIR 11.38% p.a.) on their 12-month instalment plan which allows for fixed monthly repayments.The monthly repayment for your Cash-on-Instalments is fixed, allowing you to manage your finances with ease of mind. That works perfect for me as it helps me to be more organized and I give them thumbs up.

I fancy the OCBC 365 credit because it has cash rebate of $80, but only after you full fill their criteria. They require a minimum spending of $800 per month which in turn earns interest from different spending. This card suits me just fine being that I have broad spending habit and in the process it gives me $80 cash rebates every month. My only dislike is the rebate on the general spending which is 0.3%.

I am a fresh graduate and just started my first job, I signed up for this card due to the onetime $150 cash back reward for $800 spend within the first two months. However for its main monthly rewards, it is nothing to be pleasant about and the hotline is very bad, I even had to hold more than 20 minutes during non-peak hour.

This card offers a few thrills if you are one for accumulating miles as you can earn 1.3 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 equivalent in foreign currency spent overseas on eligible purchases up to S$3,800 each month. On such purchases above S$3,800 each month, you can earn 2 KrisFlyer miles. Furthermore the card allows earnings of 1.3 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent locally in Singapore dollars on eligible purchases up to S$3,800 each month. On such purchases above S$3,800 each month, earnings are 1.4 KrisFlyer miles. Highly recommended for those who seek to accumulate miles.
