Requirement Changes to 8,000 Bonus Miles with DBS Altitude Card

in

In my previous article on earning bonus miles by signing up for credit cards, I mentioned that it was possible to earn up to 8,000 bonus miles when you sign up for the DBS Altitude Visa Signature Credit Card. The requirements for earning this 8,000 bonus miles have changed as it previously only requires the cardholder to spend S$500 each month for the first two consecutive months. You will now be required to spend S$1,000 (up from S$500) each month for the first two months in order to earn the bonus miles.
