Whenever I think of a bond, I always think of it as the opposite of a loan where the government will give me a certificate stating the interest rate and the date when the bond will mature. I want to know if my interpretations are correct and I also want to know the actual characteristics of bonds and how they actually work.
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.
OCBC Cashflo Credit Card / Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation
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.
FRANK Credit Card / Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation
Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.
HSBC Advance Credit Card / HSBC Bank Singapore
I am a fresh graduate and just started my first job, I signed up for this card due to the onetime $150 cash back reward for $800 spend within the first two months. However for its main monthly rewards, it is nothing to be pleasant about and the hotline is very bad, I even had to hold more than 20 minutes during non-peak hour.
HSBC Revolution Credit Card / HSBC Bank Singapore
The Citi SMRT card is a pretty decent card for spending but they unfortunately exclude travel related online merchants. This to me is the downside of the card and may be a reason to get another card for travel websites.
Citi Prestige Card / Citibank Singapore
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.

Your interpretations are correct but we can look deeper into its characteristics. A bond has a face value which is the amount the bond will be worth at maturity and the amount the bond issuer uses when calculating interest payments. A bond has a coupon rate which is similar to interest rates. A bond shouls always have a maturity date which is self explanatory. Probobly the most important characteristic is the issue price which is the original price the issuer sells the bond.
