1.5% unlimited cashback with no minimum spend

Very high cash promotions for new to bank sign ups. 1.5% unlimited cashback with no minimum spend, quite a good choice for low spenders who don’t have to fulfil different category spending. Generally decent cash back, but worth it more if you spend in larger amounts that is $800 and above. The credit billing cycle is also rather confusing to locate in-app as well.

10X rewards points for every S$1 spent in foreign currency

This card allows users to enjoy up to 10X rewards points for every S$1 spent in foreign currency on overseas retail, dining and travel transactions, with absolute no minimum spend required. I found this offer to be very rewarding on my last overseas vacation with my wife and kids with all the dining and shopping we engaged in.

No minimum spend and a quick and easy application

I signed up for this card initially because it has no minimum spend and the application was generally quick and easy as compared to others however, it turns out that I had to reduce the usage of this card as I feel 1-2% cashback is too Low. There are more competitive cards outside if you can hit like at least 300 a month

4X Rewards Points per S$1 spent in local currency

The Prudential Platinum Card allows me to earn additional 4X Rewards Points per S$1 spent in local currency on qualifying dining transactions, and additional 9X Rewards Points per S$1 spent in foreign currency on qualifying foreign currency transactions. However such additional Rewards Points are subject to a cap of 20,000 Rewards Points per year.

Who can clarify on the fees involved when using Standard Chartered Trading?

I just thought to give my little input here. With SCB there are no custodian fees and low brokerage fees while interestingly, SCB can invest in more foreign stocks and not just US stocks, thereby giving you the opportunity to invest in not just the US stocks but a variety of other international stocks. They even offer a much improved user interface compared to a few years back. SCB is really making an effort to compete with other brokerages. Note however that the foreign exchange rate may not be very good.
