S$3 off Orders on Waitrr with OCBC Pay Anyone until 18 May 2019 - No Limits per User, capped at 5,000 Redemption per Month

If you work in the CBD (or even if you do not), Waitrr is an incredible app that allows you to not only skip the long queues but also to save money on food. I have been using the app for a while now (and no, I am not paid or commissioned to write these articles) and it has been brilliant. Waitrr is currently running a promotion to give you S$3 off all orders until 18 May 2019 when you pay with OCBC Pay Anyone. If you do not already have an account, using my promo code 'MAR94817' will give you S$3 off your first order regardless of payment method.

Complete List of Credit Card Promo Codes (2019) for Hotels on Expedia - up to 12% Off!

I am a firm believer of loyalty programs but lately some of them have been far from attractive. In any case, one can always do with a promo code or two for hotel bookings made on Expedia (especially when they do not belong to a strong loyalty program). The following table summarises all the known promo codes for hotel reservations and at the time of writing, OCBC cards offer the best deal at 12% off. You will also find year-round promotions (10% off hotel bookings) by most banks here in Singapore.

Quandoo Is Terrible but I Am Moving Some Restaurant Reservations from Chope over Anyway - Get S$17.50 on Your First Reservation

I have always been a strong advocate for Chope (and I still am!) - it costs absolutely nothing for you to use, the UI is beautiful and the extensive range of restaurants have helped to make difficult decisions over the years. Obviously getting Chope-Dollars (which convert into both vouchers and KrisFlyer miles) with every fulfilled reservation makes a huge difference as well. Quandoo is a competitor and honestly, it looks nothing like Chope - the reservation flow is terrible and navigating the site is a pain. However, the partnership with ShopBack unlocks an opportunity to earn S$4 cashback with each fulfilled reservation.

One of the greatest benefits of having the American Express Platinum Card (and the Centurion of course) is the ability to book Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR) rates - selected hotels that meet the strict criteria that American Express sets out will be able to participate in this program.

Purchase IHG Rewards Club Points with 75% Bonus - by 28 February 2019

While I do not generally purchase IHG Rewards Club Points, they can be quite attractive when utilised on high-demand periods (e.g. New Year’s Eve). Members can now purchase IHG Rewards Club Points with a 75% bonus when they complete the transaction between 28 February 2019. If you have immediate demand for these points, now is a great time to purchase them but if you do not have any plans for them, a 100% bonus runs from time to time (but this is not a fixed promotion).
