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.

I find it very pleasant and rewarding the Platinum Wellness offerings of the AMEX Express Platinum Credit Card as I get to rest and replenish after a hard week at work. I treat myself to spa privileges that come with my Card Membership with spa vouchers from Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. I do this one’s a week and enjoy up to 40% off à la carte spa services at Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. Simply relaxing and feels good to be pampered.

If you target to spend on major event tickets and high price items with the plan to split by instalment then this card is for you. However I notice that if you have an existing OCBC saving account, it makes bill payments much more seamless. And aside from being able to split payment into monthly instalments interest free, you can earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase. Only few cards in the market that allow auto convert spending into interest free instalment and still be entitled to 0.5% or 1% cash rebate.

The welcome bonus with this card is quite mouth-watering. Simply spend S$1,500 in the first 3 months to receive 24,000 Membership Rewards points. That you will find to be enough points to redeem for S$110 cash credit. Plus you can see the points add up with 100% bonus points on all spend in your first 3 months of Card Membership. I have been using this card now for 6 months and am yet to find reasons to complain.

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.

OCBC Frank Card stands out for its low minimum spend requirement and annual fee waiver however, it’s not a great match for consumers seeking everyday cashback. Online spend on utilities, recurring bills, and school and hospital payments are all not eligible for rebate. Dining, groceries, and other categories are also not rewarded. Ultimately, OCBC Frank Card offers young adults a great, no-fee way to earn cashback from social and online spend. OCBC Frank Card is definitely worth consideration.

I would recommend the card for use by people who frequently purchase clothing and electronics and also in particular from known on online merchants like AliExpress, Amazon, Lazada, Shopee and Taobao.You get 10X points when you shop at retails for babies and children's wear, clothes, bags and shoes, department stores, electronics and gadgets; which cover almost all retails. Also the OCBC Reward is a $10 rebate for 3600 points which I think is fare.
