    This basically is an added security measure provided by the bank. When a transaction exceeding a pre-defined value threshold (SGD500) is charged to your credit/debit card, the bank will send you a Transaction Alert via SMS. You may log in to Online Banking to change the threshold value. This alert serves as a fraud prevention measure and you should immediately contact the bank if the transaction was not authorised by you. The threshold amount is SGD500 by default. You may choose to change this amount via Online Banking.

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.
