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.

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.
