This promotion is valid from now until 7th March 2021 (11:59PM).

You can even cancel the card after receiving the Apple AirPods Pro or cash reward if you wish.

If you are already an existing Citibank cardholder, fret not. You still get to have S$30 with your successful application.

Similar offers have been running for the past couple of months, with the gift going as low as S$200. The current S$350 cash offer is the highest it has ever been in terms of the cash sign-up reward.

After clicking submit on your credit card application, make sure to take note of your Application Reference Number. You will have to fill out a redemption form (automatically sent to your email once you make a card application) in order to be registered.

Once your card is approved, remember to spend at least S$200 within 30 days of receiving your card in order to receive the Apple AirPods Pro or cash reward. You will get an email within 60 to 90 days with instructions on how to claim your gift.

You may have seen some higher tier credit cards – case in point The Platinum Card by American Express which carries an annual fee of S$1,712 – that come with special hotel benefits such as free breakfast, US$100 dining/spa credit, late check-out and perhaps room upgrade and wish there was a way that mere mortals like us who don’t want to fork out more than a thousand dollars on a credit card and at the same time, aren’t elite members of hotel loyalty programmes to enjoy those same kinds of perks.

This week, Hotelux launches in Singapore as a way for the public to access those luxury travel advisor benefits without having to go through those hoops. The app acts as a booking platform with a similar interface where you input your preferred stay dates with the app showing you its best rates with Hotelux partner hotels as well as a set of benefits that come with the stay.

Google Pay is a platform developed by Google that allows you to make payments through a single app. You can use Google Pay to digitally store your credit cards and make credit card payments through your mobile phone via contactless payments, transfer money to friends via PayNow and also make payments to establishments via PayNow. If you are familiar with other payment apps like Samsung Pay or Apple Pay, Google Pay fulfills the same functions but has more capabilities as it can also link to your bank account through PayNow.

Get S$8 free by signing up for Google Pay here (offer ends 31st Dec 23:59PM)

After downloading the app, all you need to do is to link it to your PayNow / Paylah / Standard Chartered account and add your credit cards to the digital wallet to get going. 

Currently, Google Pay is running a series of offers where new users who sign-up will get S$8 cash – sent straight to your bank account after you make your first payment of at least S$10. Each week, users also get to earn additional cashback – a random amount sent via digital scratch cards, with the maximum at S$10 per scratch card. I have been using Google Pay for a couple of weeks now and have earned just a little under S$100 in cash back. Cash back is earned through the following ways:
