Get S$300 Statement Credit, Accor Plus Membership, and Earn up to 8.5 Miles per Dollar with American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card - First Year Annual Fee Waiver

If you run your own business (with a valid UEN) in Singapore or if you are a person with executive authority of a company or a business, you should most definitely apply for the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card - the annual fee is waived in the first year and the perks that come with this card are truly impressive. Apart from the fact that the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card earns 8.5 miles per dollar on eligible Singapore Airlines and Scoot transactions (and 1.8 miles per dollar on everything else), it also comes with a complimentary Accor Plus Explorer membership (worth S$408) which comes with one free room night each year. Eligible new customers can also receive a further S$300 statement credit (effectively a 6% cashback) after spending at least S$5,000 within the first 3 months of card approval.

The welcome bonus offer of S$300 statement credit is eligible to first-time applicants of the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card - applications must be received and approved between 13 July 2021 and 31 December 2021. With an annual fee waiver in the first year, all eligible business owners and persons with executive authority of a company should apply for the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card - it is a fantastic general spend credit card, it gives you a free night at the Sofitel Singapore City Centre or the Sofitel Sentosa Resort & Spa (as well as other participating Accor properties in the region) each year, and most importantly, it allows you to tap into American Express offers for more HighFlyer points or additional statement credits throughout the year.

You might remember that HighFlyer points (which you accrue on the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card) are worth double starting from 13 July 2021 - they can now be converted into KrisFlyer Miles at a new 1:1 ratio. While the card earns 1.8 HighFlyer points per dollar (equivalent to 1.8 miles per dollar) on all eligible spend, it also earns a ridiculous 8.5 HighFlyer points per dollar (equivalent to 8.5 miles per dollar) on eligible spend made with the Singapore Airlines Group (e.g. flight bookings made directly with Singapore Airlines and Scoot). Additionally, American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Cardholders will also enjoy an additional 5,000 HighFlyer points for spending at least S$500 with the Singapore Airlines Group in the first year - subsequently, they will earn 15,000 HighFlyer points upon meeting an annual spend of at least S$10,000 with the Singapore Airlines Group in the second year and beyond. Therefore, by simply spending S$500 with the Singapore Airlines Group in the first year, you will be able to earn 9,250 HighFlyer Points which gives you an impressive 18.5 miles per dollar earn rate.

American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card

First-year annual fee waiver, free Accor Plus membership with a free hotel stay, and get S$300 statement credit.

I have written about the perks of an Accor Plus membership previously but just for the sake of summary, you will be able to enjoy up to 50% off on dining, and you will also gain exclusive access to the Red Hot Rooms sale where the nightly rate at luxury properties like the Fairmont Singapore can be less than S$200 nett - these are obviously also eligible rates where you can earn status credits and points on. Most importantly, the Accor Plus membership comes with the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card each year - you will continue to enjoy one free night at any participating Accor property each year. While the annual fee of the American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card is not waived in the second year, paying only S$299 is still a lot cheaper than the Accor Plus Explorer membership which is priced at S$408.
