As you would imagine, payment must be made with the VOYAGE Credit Card (e.g. Bank of Singapore VOYAGE Card, OCBC Premier Private Client VOYAGE Card, OCBC Premier VOYAGE Card and OCBC VOYAGE Card) in order for it to be eligible. Business Class return tickets start from just S$5,039 so this is really a great opportunity to try out Etihad Airways’ First Class product (especially since the industry is buzzing with the possibility of the Emirates-Etihad merger). Eligible destinations include the following:

  • New York

  • Munich

  • Paris

  • Milan

  • Brussels

  • Madrid

OCBC Titanium Rewards Card offers 12 Miles per Dollar on ShopperBoard - 1-28 October 2018 Only!

The premature ending of the 4 miles per dollar promotion on mobile payments has left a bad taste in my mouth. In fact, I personally know of a handful of cardholders who decided to cancel the OCBC Titanium Rewards Card just because of that. This morning, I noticed that the very same card is offering 30 OCBC$ (equivalent to 12 Miles) per S$1 spent on ShopperBoard from 1-28 October 2018 - this is capped at S$1,000 which means the most you can earn from this promotion is 30,000 OCBC$ or 12,000 Miles.

I Just Paid S$1,712 for The American Express Platinum Card in Singapore - Here's Why I Did It
I Just Paid S$1,712 for The American Express Platinum Card in Singapore - Here's Why I Did It

A brand new suite of benefits for Platinum Card Members were announced late July this year and card members in Singapore are finally getting that beautiful sleek metal card that card members in the United States have held since 2017. For the sake of comparison, the annual fee of The Platinum Card in the US is US$550 (approximately S$760) but the annual fee here in Singapore is S$1,712 (approx. US$1,250) - at least two times more! I have always been a strong advocate for paying annual fees where it is due (on selected credit cards that actually give you something in return) but since you do not officially get any renewal miles with this card, I debated about getting it for a while. Finally, I caved in and decided to apply for The Platinum Card a few weeks ago and here's why I actually did it (but more importantly, why I decided that the S$1,712 annual fee was worth it).
