3% cashback for contactless payments like Visa PayWave, Apple Pay transactions

The DBS Visa Debit Card has my vote for being the one of the best debit cards in Singapore. You get 3% cashback for contactless payments like Visa PayWave, Apple Pay transactions with a few conditions to be met like spend at least $400 a month on your debit card and limit cash withdrawals to $400 or less a month. Cashback is capped at $50 a month while you should note that PayWave transactions are capped at $200 per transaction. You should also know that the card can be used overseas with no foreign transaction fee if paired with a DBS Multi-Currency Account

It isn't as attractive as compared to what its competition in the student credit card sphere are offering

With only a 0.3% cashback on all spending, it isn't as attractive as compared to what its competition in the student credit card sphere are offering. However, there are perks for using this card, such as the free entry to Zouk and other deals for DBS cards can be utilised with your DBS Visa Debit Card as well. So you might want give this a try or not but it’s up to you.

Hit the minimum target of $600 to maximise your cashback.

Considering that I don't spend very much it is hard for me to meet the minimum spend to maximise my cashback on this card but irrespective, it's currently the best card for me since I'm using the DBS Multiplier account and I get extra interest when I spend on DBS credit cards. It is also quite a useful card to use when you are about to go on holiday to make hotel bookings and payment online. You should look to hit the minimum $600 to maximise your cashback.

Cool card that is all about rebates and more rebates

This card is perfect for my everyday use, starting from the 15% cash rebates on dining, bus and MRT rides, the 5% cash rebates when I decide to shop at Sheng Siong and 3% cash rebates at Watsons. It is a good card to have overall and actually one of the best cashback credit cards for cash rebates at Sheng Siong, Watsons and SPC petrol kiosks.

Every dollar spent earns you points

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.

A rewardiing 0.5% rebate on all card spends

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.

I have a black DBS Visa Debit Card. If I use it to pay things will I be able to receive the most cashback from it?

DBS visa have a 5% cashback but you would have to hit a $400 minimum spending and limit cash withdrawal to less than $400. You can also get a 3% cashback when you tap to pay locally using Visa Contactless, through your card, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Google Pay. Just simply spend a minimum of $400 on Visa and keep your cash withdrawals to $400 and below in the same month and you should be fine. Probably the most important feature of the card is it’s an all-in-one card which lets you sign for purchases, make payment by NETS and even tap and SimplyGo for bus/train rides.
