I have previously written an article on using IHG Rewards Club Points in Singapore - you can redeem for room nights, an InterContinental Ambassador membership, dining and retail vouchers as well as some really random home appliances amongst other things. To be honest, if you travel to places like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bora Bora or other expensive cities, using IHG Points for redemption is not always the best solution. However, this may change if the room rates have soared (due to a Public Holiday or special day like the New Year's Eve for instance) so be sure to watch out for those dates particularly when it is closer in. 

Last month, I wrote about the newest Visa Infinite card in Singapore which is also the first card in the country to offer a waiver on foreign currency admin fees (1.5%). This month, the CIMB Visa Signature card has popped up on our radar as the second credit card in Singapore to offer the same waiver of foreign currency admin fee (1.4% in the case of CIMB). This rebate will be credited in your statement in the following statement period. 

While I have previously written an article about essentially "buying" miles by paying for the Credit Card annual fees (mostly renewals), I have also just recently discovered how to enter tables on my website (everyone that knows me personally knows that I love tables!) and have therefore decided to compile a handy list of annual fees and bonus renewal miles for myself (and anyone out there who is interested). As always, please feel free to contact me should you feel that something else should be added to the table below.

A Priority Banking Account is kind of like achieving elite status in a hotel chain's loyalty program - except instead of room nights, they measure your value to the organisation based on what you have at the bank (also known as Asset Under Management - AUM). Find out and compare the different Priority Banking accounts in Singapore and find one that suits you best! 

In my previous article on earning bonus miles by signing up for credit cards, I mentioned that it was possible to earn up to 8,000 bonus miles when you sign up for the DBS Altitude Visa Signature Credit Card. The requirements for earning this 8,000 bonus miles have changed.

Everyone in Singapore knows that our credit cards pale in comparison to our US counterparts - in terms of miles accrual. Since I have been eyeing the Citi Prestige Card from Citibank for a while now, I decided to find out once and for all, just how different they are exactly. The first thing you will probably notice is how much better the card actually looks in the US (as compared to Singapore). Find a summary of difference at the bottom of the article too! 

As most of us buck up for the miles game this year (remember you can easily earn more miles this year by just making slight changes to your spending habits), I wanted to summarise some credit card offers that give you bonus miles when you sign up and hit a minimum spend. If you do not already have one of these cards, perhaps it is a good time to check these out! If I have missed something out, please feel free to leave a comment below (or drop me an email privately) and I will be sure to update this list. Remember to check this page for more ways to game the credit card system in Singapore!

I have always been a strong advocate for Kaligo because it offers up to 12 miles per S$1 spent on hotel reservations. In fact, quite recently as part of my article on 6 ways to earn more miles this year, I mentioned that sometimes not having a hotel loyalty status is a good thing to have. From now until 29 February 2016, make your first booking on Kaligo and get 3,000 bonus KrisFlyer Miles. If you spend US$1,000 during this promotional period, you will get a total of 10,000 bonus KrisFlyer Miles!
