Why pick this card
4 mpd on your chosen category. Bonus 2-6 mpd when paired with UOB Lady's Savings Account.
Krisflyer Credit Card
UOB Krisflyer Credit Card
Why pick this card
Up to 3 KrisFlyer miles per S$1 on SIA/Scoot/KrisShop.

You can also check out UOB Preferred Visa as an option which can earn you 4 miles per dollar with S$1,110 cap and no minimum spend.

Conclusion:

From now until 31st Dec 2024, I would choose HSBC Live+ for a sweet 8% cashback with a lower minimum spend required of S$600. You can spend up to S$3,125 in a quarter to earn a maximum cashback of S$250 on that one category alone. It does not place a cashback cap on the category. After 31st Dec 2024, my vote goes to Citi Cashback Card because of its 6% cashback rate and a non restrictive list of where you can dine! If you opt for a pretty straightforward credit card for dining, and wanted to earn miles, Citi Rewards + Amaze could be a great option as it offers a decent earn rate of 4 miles per dollar in all online spend. UOB Lady’s card may be a hit or miss if the restaurant’s MCC does not fall within their specific MCCs.

πŸ’³ Credit cards change their T&Cs every so often and it is difficult to stay updated. That’s why I created a Telegram Broadcast where you can receive timely bite-sized updates to get the most out of your spending.

πŸ’‘ We believe in always paying our credit card bills on time and in full. It is only by doing that, can we fully maximise our credit card benefits.
