- The Amaze card allows you to link up to 5 mastercards— a way for you to eliminate the hassle of carrying multiple cards. This can help you pay and save locally or overseas, use it to earn rewards, and lastly, you can convert your offline to online transactions using the credit card of your choice without incurring foreign exchange fees + gaining the rewards (miles/cashback) on the credit card used
- When using overseas, there is a 2% spread on FX rate with amaze but you get the miles
- Instarem Amaze will impose a 1% fee (minimum S$0.50) for any local spendings from the first dollar spent when amaze is linked to a card. This fee will only affect Citi Rewards with some inconveniences.

Citi Rewards Card
- This is my top favourite card to pair with amaze.
- The Citi Rewards card offers 4 miles per dollar, but only up to S$1,000 per month (statement period). The Amaze card, however, charges a 1% fee for
exceeding S$1,000 in local spending each calendar monthALL local spends. - If you’re spending local online spending – Use Citi Rewards without Amaze
- After the update, this can be paired with Citi Rewards for overseas spending. For local offline spends, I would not recommend using Citi Rewards and Amaze combo anymore as it will incur a 1% fee even on the first dollar spent, but if you wish to, I suggest to do it when the transaction amount is above S$50 so you can still get a pretty cheaper cost per mile.
