What is the auto-activation magstripe feature of the DBS Takashimaya Cards all about?

Although a 0.5% voucher rebate sounds like it’s not that exciting but when you consider that it is a 0.5% rebate on all card spend, that is all your shopping, dining and other card spend turned into voucher rebates to offset your shopping at Takashimaya Department Store, then it begins to make more sense as a deal. Plus you can redeem S$10 Takashimaya Shopping Voucher with every S$2000 spent outside Takashimaya Department Store per quarter.

With the DBS Takashimaya card you get to earn 2 Takashimaya bonus points for every $12 charged to this card at Takashimaya Department Stores, including at all its high-end designer boutiques. After charging $1,800 to your card you can accumulate 300 bonus points and can redeem $90 Takashimaya Gift Voucher which is equivalent to a 5% voucher rebate

I believe it is best to become a Takashimaya VIP member and enjoy an additional 10% discount at the Takashimaya department stores aside from basic 2 Takashimaya bonus points you earn for every $12 charged to the card at Takashimaya Department Stores store during selected sale events. You can equally enjoy a free $3 top-up to your Cash Card with a minimum purchase of $120 at the Takashimaya Department Store

I like this card for the 5% voucher rebates that come with using it and the offering to earn 2 Takashimaya Bonus Points with every $12 charged at Takashimaya Department Store, also because I can redeem $30 worth of Takashimaya Gift Vouchers with 100 Takashimaya Bonus Points. I must confess that I am addicted to deals and making the most of card benefits. I am currently still impressed by this cards deals.

With an additional 10% savings that you can achieve during selected sale events at Takashimaya Department Stores and an opportunity to receive $6 top-up to your CashCard when you charge a minimum amount of $250 to your DBS Takashimaya Card at Takashimaya Department Store. Every $5 charged anywhere gives you 1 DBS Point, you can then proceed to accumulate and exchange your DBS Points for more Takashimaya Gift Vouchers and shop for free.

The American Express Krisflyer Credit Card has an attractive sign up bonus and it is easy to use to accumulate on miles as no conversion into KF account is required, and monthly auto “sweeping” of miles help save in the conversion fee. I also have had good experiences with their customer care service as the call center service is absolutely awesome.

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 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.

Very impressed by the complimentary night stay I got after I made bookings for a five nights stay at a resort I spent my birthday at in Malaysia. Even more pleasing was the complimentary golf games at a high quality golf courses in Malaysia. As a matter of fact, I had as much as six complementary golf games.

Seldom would you find a card that has your best interest at heart as the AMEX Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card with its Emergency legal and medical assistance even when you are anywhere in the world. You can enjoy privileges around the globe with Live the World and American Express with all round protection against accidental damage or theft for your purchases.

This is my first credit card and I was pleased with the process as the application was absolutely stress free and smooth with customer care service at top notch. I actually felt taken care of and it appeared I could rely on customer care service for virtually any issue. Plus they have a simple tracking system of cashback rewards, with a good App and web UI/UX.
