What are the benefits of the OCBC Arts Credit Card?

The OCBC Arts Credit Card offers a thrilling 10% off Flex and Flex Plus fares and 5% off Saver fares valid on Economy Class and Business Class to all Emirates-operated destinations.These special fares came in handy and very helpful on my last overseas trip using emirates. Please be aware that all the fares stated are after discount anyway

The introductory annual fee is waived for the first 2 years. This card has a $160.50 annual fee which is waived for the first 2 years along with the supplementary annual card fee of $80.25 which will also be waived during that intro period. Card members earn 1 OCBC$ rewards point per every $1 spent and you can redeem your rewards for retail vouchers at a large number of merchants and instant discounts at Timbre.

Earn 3 OCBC$ per $1 spent on ticket purchases for events made through SISTIC. Ultimately you get rewarded for planning ahead and buying tickets to the events you love, and up to 20% discounts on all local & international productions. Cardholders can benefit from exclusive discounts and deals on a number of local and international musical and theatre productions as well as events, festivals, concerts and more.

Priority events booking. Users will benefit from priority bookings at a large variety of events including W!LD RICE, the Theatre Practice, Ding Yi Music, Singapore Dance Theatre, Singapore Lyric Opera and more. I also find the dining and shopping privileges to be cool with benefits from discounts and offers at retail and dining outlets across Singapore. For instance a 15% off your bill instantly at selected restaurants and 20% off your bill instantly at selected online retailers.

OCBC Arts Credit Card is a rewards card with a complementary set of features for anyone using a credit card to pay for their cultural expenses. Not only do cardholders earn OCBC$ 3 times faster for ticket purchases through SISTIC, they can also gain priority access and discounts to tickets for theatre, art and music events.

Along with the standard perks an OCBC card provides, these extra features make this card useful for people who are interested in art, music and cultural events. Users will also benefit from a large range of discounts and perks on lifestyle and everyday purchases like retail shopping, dining, travel and tours.

In my opinion, this card is one of the best cards in the market especially as there are no expiry date to miles earned and an amazing 2 VIP airport lounge access. I love the fact that the card can be used for major big ticket items and to clock mileage. Redemption can be done easily without hassle and customer service staff are very helpful

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%.

If you are like me an HSBC Premier client and also a frequent traveller that can maximize the number of priority pass visits, limo and meet-and-assist services as well as your supplementary cardholders too, then this is the card for you. The reduced general mile earn rate is worth the trade-off for the unlimited priority pass memberships, as well as the high number of limo and meet-and-assist services that you can use.

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.

I am quite very disappointed with this card as I have never received the vouchers for all the points I have accumulated so far. I have on several occasions made complaints via the phone and even in person, but all to no avail. I would not recommend this card to anyone for this reason, i have to say unfortunately.

The delivered on the promise of purchase Protection of up to 90 days when ensured reimbursement on an eligible online purchases I made with my Amex Express Gold Card. Irrespective where you buy online or shopping at the local supermarket, their Purchase Protection offers repair, replacement or reimbursement on eligible purchases made with the Card, that has been damaged or stolen within 90 days of purchase.
