Complete Guide to Love Dining Program by American Express - Enjoy 50% off Dining
Not too long ago, I wrote about the top 7 reasons to get the American Express Platinum Credit Card - one of the top reasons is the free Far Card Membership that comes with it. American Express has launched a brand new Love Dining program which firstly incorporates the previous Palate program and secondly (and more importantly), introduces a Hotel category into this newly-branded program - think about it this way:
Additional Discount (35+5%) on Singapore Bookings made via IHG Mobile App - Flash Sale
There never has been a good enough reason to use the IHG App since it does not stack with cashback sites like ShopBack (unless you need to complete your Accelerate challenge). The InterContinental Hotels Group will be holding a three-day Flash Sale from 19 July to 21 July 2016 which will give you an additional 5% and 3% off for weekend and weekday stays respectively on all of the eight IHG hotels in Singapore if you book through the IHG App (perfect to complete your Accelerate challenge too!).
Completed Accelerate (June-August) 2016 Points now Posting!
I wrote about how your IHG Rewards Club account may have been targeted for the new Accelerate promotions this quarter previously. I logged on to my IHG Rewards Club account today and can confirm that the points are indeed posting - my previous two-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong has triggered 10,600 out of 55,000 points of my Accelerate offers this quarter.

uberPOOL - Uber's Answer to getting around Cheaper and Faster
I have always been a huge fan of Uber because when they first started out, they were so much better than Grab but truth to be told, Grab (and its fleet of cars and drivers) has improved dramatically over the years. With that being said however, Uber has always been far more superior at customer service - they actually read and reply to your feedback at lightning speed! Starting from 01 July 2016 (Friday), you will be able to utilise uberPOOL to get around - this is a service for pooling people who are heading down to the same place to save time and cost (as well as the environment!). Why bother you ask? Well, it's going to be cheaper than the usual uberX rates!
8% on Hotel Bookings via Otel.com (until 18 August 2016) - Promo Code Inside!
Take 8% off already discounted rates on Otel.com when you book between now and 18 August 2016 with a special promo code. While I generally do not advocate using an online travel agent as bookings made here do not earn you eligible room nights that count towards retaining or obtaining loyalty status(es), it is always wise to check whether the price savings make it worth it (especially if you are staying in a boutique property!).
