From now until 30 April 2020, sign-up for the Standard Chartered X Credit Card via this unique SingSaver link to get 40,000 (instead of the usual 30,000) welcome miles upon approval and annual fee payment. Previously, cardholders were required to charge a minimum of S$6,000 in order to qualify for the 10,000 additional miles, but now, all successful applicants who apply for the Standard Chartered X Credit Card (and pay the annual fee) will get 40,000 miles credited by 31 May 2020.

The Standard Chartered X Credit Card has an annual fee of S$695.50 but you will get 30,000 welcome miles typically (credited to the X Card account in the form of 75,000 360° Reward Points) upon payment of an annual fee (you will also need to activate the card within 30 days from the card approval date). At 2.3 cents per mile, this is definitely not the cheapest way to obtain miles in Singapore but if you are looking for a metal credit card for general spending, applying for it via this unique SingSaver link (it will redirect you to Standard Chartered) will get you an additional 10,000 bonus miles - this means that you will get 40,000 miles from just S$695.50 which brings your CPM down to 1.74 cents!

The 40,000 welcome miles that you get with the Standard Chartered X Credit Card is on top of the base earn rate - you will get the welcome bonus miles as long as you apply via one of the links on this article, and pay the annual fee. As a quick reminder, the Standard Chartered X Credit Card earns you 1.2/2.0 miles per dollar on eligible local/foreign currency spend but all Standard Chartered X Credit Cardholders will be able to earn 3 miles per S$1 (spent in a non-SGD currency), with no cap, if they spend a minimum of S$2,000 per promotional period (or calendar month) from now until 30 June 2020. The four promotional periods for the aforementioned accrual rate (3 miles per dollar on foreign currency spend) are as follows:
24 February 2020 to 31 March 2020
1-30 April 2020
1-31 May 2020
1-30 June 2020
40,000 Welcome Miles
Standard Chartered X Credit Card
The enhanced welcome gift of 40,000 miles is applicable to both new and existing Standard Chartered customers. If you are new to Standard Chartered (meaning to say, you are not a current principal cardholder of any cards issued by Standard Chartered, and have not held one in the last 12 months), you may consider applying first for the Standard Chartered Unlimited Cashback Card (first-year annual fee is waived), to get a free pair of Apple AirPods (with wireless charging case). Following that, you may continue to apply for the Standard Chartered X Credit Card to get up to 40,000 miles as your welcome gift (this reduces the CPM to just 1.74 cents which is reasonable in the context of Singapore).
