Transferring Travel$ (Miles) to Friends and Family on ANZ Travel Card

in

While it is not uncommon for points to accrue on the principal cardholder's account when supplementary cardholders make eligible spend, it is quite rare for banks to allow cardholders to transfer points between two parties (especially when they are not directly related). Even though the benefits from the ANZ Travel Visa Signature Credit Card have been diluted over the years, it is still a pretty decent card to have when you consider everything else. Paying S$200 a year for 10,000 bonus Travel$ (which converts into 10,000 miles) is not necessarily a bad idea so long you know how to use your miles wisely. What a lot of people do not realise however is that it is actually possible to transfer your Travel$ to another ANZ Travel Visa Signature Credit Principal Cardholder.

Domaine Chandon - A Beautiful Vineyard to Check Out in Yarra Valley, Melbourne

in

If you have been following me on Instagram, you would have seen my photos from my (not too) recent Melbourne trip. Even though I have been to the amazing city on multiple occasions, it was actually the first time I rented a car to get around - I have always had the privilege of my friends chauffeuring me around  but I did not want to bother them this time round. As part of my Melbourne 2016 trip, I visited one of the most charming vineyards around in Yarra Valley, Domaine Chandon.

Buy One Get One Free Business/First Class Flight - 5 Ridiculous Travel Benefits with Citi ULTIMA

in

Everyone loves tangible travel privileges that you can enjoy with your credit card. It's not uncommon (though it is becoming increasingly difficult) to get airport limousine transfers from credit card spend and most decent credit cards give you a few lounge accesses every year. The Citi ULTIMA is an elite credit card that is not commonly advertised and the reason for that is very simple - it's by invitation-only and it requires an AUM of S$5,000,000 (compare this to Priority Banking in Singapore!).

20 Miles per S$5 with Apple Pay - Get S$10 Rebate with UOB

in

In case you have not already heard, Apple Pay now supports credit cards from five major banks in Singapore - UOB, OCBC, POSB, DBS and Standard Chartered (SC). Apple Pay was first made available for American Express cardholders only in Singapore and now it is rolling out to everyone else. While I do love American Express for their service and (some) offers, it is simply not the best way to rake up miles unless you were shopping with one of the EXTRA Partners.

Photography is truly a journey to me and over time, your photography style changes (not necessarily for the better) as you evolve as a person.

The purpose of this article is really to introduce a complete beginner into DSLR photography and hopefully, to provide some tips to make the photos more enviable on whichever social media platform you may choose to share them on.

If you do not have a UOB Preferred Platinum American Express card which gives 4 miles per dollar on dining, chances are that you are now unable to apply for it anymore - existing cardholders should have them until they expire.

ANZ Travel Visa Signature to Remove Limo Benefit

in

The credit cards from ANZ seem to be going downhill. I have just successfully cancelled my ANZ Optimum World MasterCard since they did not want to waive the annual fee (and paying the fee for a cashback card really makes no sense), the list of free airport lounge with the ANZ Travel Visa Signature Card  has been deteriorating and now with effect from 01 June 2016, the complimentary airport limousine transfer benefit will be discontinued.
