American Express Cards Now Accepted on Singapore Public Transport - Get S$3 Back on Every S$6 Transit Spend!

Commuters in Singapore can now use their eligible American Express Cards to pay for public transport fares across trains and buses. This long-awaited integration means you can tap in and out directly with your physical card or via a mobile wallet on your smartphone, making journeys far more seamless. To celebrate the launch, American Express is rolling out a limited-time Amex Offer from 3 July to 31 July 2025. Eligible Card Members who save the offer to their card and spend at least S$6 on public transit fares will receive a S$3 statement credit, up to five times per registered card. With a cap of 50,000 registered cards, early registration is highly recommended.

The convenience extends to using a mobile device with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay, provided the eligible Amex card is loaded before you travel. Cardholders should note that they must tap in and out using the same card or device to ensure correct fare charges. Only transit fares paid directly with the card are eligible for the credit.

This offer is open to personal basic and supplementary American Express Cards issued by American Express International Inc., DBS Bank, and UOB in Singapore, excluding corporate cards. The credits will typically appear within 15 business days of qualifying spend, but may take up to 90 days after the offer ends. For those who regularly commute on Singapore’s MRT or buses, this news represents a huge step forward for payment flexibility - and a great opportunity to enjoy some savings during the launch phase.
