What are the ways one can use to redeem SAFRA$ rebates?

SAFRA DBS Card ensures that every dollar spent at participating outlets and facilities at SAFRA earns card users 1 SAFRAPOINT in addition to the Credit/Debit cash rebates the also offer. I realise that their rewards programme also offers a wide range of attractive products, services and vouchers from which you are free to choose your redemption item from.

This card offers a 3% cash rebate on online shopping with 3% cash rebate on local MasterCard contactless transactions. All cash rebate will only be awarded with a minimum spend of $500 each month and your cash rebate will be issued in the form of SAFRA$ and is capped at a maximum of SAFRA$50 per card account per calendar month. Note that SAFRA$1 is equivalent to S$1

This is an all in one card of sort which I use to get cash from the ATM and my Ezlink card for when I am travelling. The credit card gives me 3% on selected merchants and 0.3% on the other merchants as long as a SAFRA member card. This is certainly one of the best cards to have with plenty of activities at SAFRA for my family. To crown it all, there is no need to call to get a fee waiver as its automatic waived for SAFRA members.

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.

A 5% cash rebate on fuel purchases and a 16% instant discount is a great deal for me I must say, the HSBC VISA Platinum Credit Card indeed makes driving more fun for me as i always look forward to the 16% instant discount plus 5% cash rebate on all fuel spend at Caltex and Shell stations

For me nothing beats the 5% year-round cash rebates on dining, groceries, petrol and transport (that is taxis, ride hailing, trains and buses inclusive), locally and overseas when you spend minimum S$600 per month. And the cash rebate is capped at S$150 per month. So if you don’t drive, not to worry as you can enjoy 5% cash rebate for your transportation needs, be it a taxi ride, a booking made via ride hailing apps, or trains/buses.

I like the idea that I can receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points when I get to successfully refer any of my friends to the card. Even more so as my friends can also receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points upon spend of S$5,000 in the first 3 months of their Card Membership. I think that is pretty much a win-win situation.

So it is really convenient that I can get and use my card instantly when I apply via MyInfo. And the cards instant digital card that can be used for mobile wallets, online and mobile app purchases. Now aside from the same day physical credit card issuance for online applications you also get S$50 cash rebate upon approval with no minimum spend required. However that is only for new OCBC Credit Card applications.

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.
