8,000 Bonus Miles with DBS Altitude Visa Signature Credit Card Sign-up
If like me, you did not manage to take advantage of the 12,000 bonus miles promotion last year with DBS Altitude Visa Signature Credit Card, fret not because DBS has just launched a brand new promotion for 8,000 bonus miles for first-time applicants. Sure it isn't as good as the 12,000 before but considering how the succeeding promotion was only for 5,000 miles (limited to a fixed number of cardholders only), this is not a bad deal. With that being said, there is absolutely no way to know whether or not a better deal will come our way so it is definitely a risk to take.

Double Starpoints + Reminder for Uber in 2016
As the year comes to an end, it is important to remember that you will only earn Starpoints on Uber if you have had a qualifying stay in the calendar year. If like me, you use Uber on a daily basis, it is best to get your stay in as early as possible in January 2016. You should definitely take advantage of the SPG® Take Two promotion which gives you double Starpoints® when you stay two nights or more (plus 250 bonus Starpoints for every night you stay at hotels in popular destinations, worldwide from 11 January 2016 to 30 April 2016.

Just as a rule of thumb, all Hilton HHonors Blue members will receive 25 (10+10+5) HHonors Points per US$1 and Diamond members will receive 30 HHonors Points assuming Points and Points earning style has been selected.
