    It is not worth it for me as only the sign up bonus is the meaningful incentive for me. It might be a perfect card for families that spend most of their time in capitaland mall for the free carpark. Apart from that maybe the fact that it is the only credit card that can be used to purchase capita vouchers. The exchange rate of Star$ to vouchers is 5,000 star$ to 5 capitalland voucher. This means you can only get about 1-3% rebates (3% for dining) at capland outlets. This is not too good when other cards are offering 6% rebate on dining. I think its rewards system has to be improved to match other cards.

    Close to 6.5% rebates on dining

    American Express CapitaCard / American Express International

    I have held this card for quite a long time and one thing I like about the card is the fact that it is used for CapitaLand malls and they are almost everywhere. So I enjoy dining taking advantage of the 10x rewards merchants to accumulate the points faster. Imagine getting close to 6.5% rebates on dining. Not to forget their sign up bonus of $60 rebates in vouchers when you spend $1,500. That's a 4% rebate excluding the points you will earn which will convert into vouchers too.

    I received $20 CapitaVouchers as the sign up bonus,

    American Express CapitaCard / American Express International

    The American express CapitaCard is my first credit card and I find the sign up bonus attractive as I received $20 CapitaVouchers, which come in the form of STAR$ after being referred by my friend while my friend would receive S$30 CapitaVouchers also in the form of STAR$ after referring to me. Besides that, you can get to earn STAR$ points when shopping at Capitalmalls.

    Good for families that spend most of their time in capitaland mall for the free carpark

    American Express CapitaCard / American Express International

    I feel this card is only worth its onions because of the sign up bonus. However subsequently, it might be good for families that spend most of their time in capitaland mall for the "free carpark". Pretty much this card offers features that revolve your life around capitaland malls and if you are not excited by that then you could try other cards. By the way this is the only credit card that can be used to purchase capita vouchers

    Receive a lot of capitastar points when spending with this card

    American Express CapitaCard / American Express International

    It feels quite good to receive a lot of capitastar points when spending with this card, but still it is not really worth it to convert points to capitamall vouchers and other in-app deals are more value for money. I actually held this card for close to one year when Amex decided to charge me annual fee for second year and couldn't waive it because my spending wasn't high enough to justify the waiver, I converted it to the true cashback card.

    Should I invest on properties in Singapore?

    Investing on property would take you a long way because unlike investing on stock markets, investing on a property is unique because it contains utility value. It is an asset that you can use and enjoy while capturing gains. You can also rent the place out to other people and still hope that the rental rates would increase as the rise in the prices of property also increase.

    I have had this card for a long while. The good thing with the card is that AMEX have been waiving my annual fees which is probably why I still have the card.
