Best Cards for Restaurants

Overview:

Dining out is a win-win. Skip the cooking and cleaning, save time, and enjoy great food. Restaurants are also perfect for socializing and trying new cuisines. Let’s explore how to make the most of eating out without breaking the bank. Here’s the best cards for restaurants:

HSBC Live+ Card

Earn up to 5% cashback on dining, entertainment and shopping 

Citi Cashback Card

Earn 8% cashback on petrol & ride-hailing services and 6% cashback on groceries & dining

Maybank Family & Friends Card

Earn 8% cashback for five of your chosen categories.


OCBC 365 Card

Earn 6% cashback on Petrol, 5% cashback on Dining, 3% cashback on Groceries, Land Transport, Streaming, Electric Vehicle Charging, Watsons, Utilities

DCS Ultimate Platinum Card

Earn 2% cashback on almost everything

Citi Rewards Card

Earn 4 miles per dollar on online spend and selected retail

UOB Lady Cardface

UOB Lady's Card

Earn 4 miles per dollar on 1 or 2 chosen categories


UOB Krisflyer Card

Earn uncapped 3 miles per dollar on SIA group spend and 2.4 miles per dollar on dining, online shopping, transport & select travel with min. S$1,000 SIA spend/year.

You can also check out UOB Preferred Platinum 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.

    The Wise Card is known for offering some of the best foreign exchange rates in Singapore—often beating banks and even Visa/Mastercard rates. But its advantage shrinks once you factor in Wise’s conversion fee, which isn’t included in the displayed FX rate. With no cashback or rewards, the card is best used for money transfers rather than day-to-day spending.

    Key points:

    • Excellent FX rates

    • Conversion fee applies (not always shown in quoted rate)

    • No rewards, cashback, or miles

    • Great for overseas transfers or paying freelancers

    • Cashback/miles cards usually give better value for shopping or travel

        DBS Woman’s World Card

        This card doesn’t offer any sign-up promotions. To make the most of your sign-up rewards, consider applying for the DBS Altitude card first. This is because you can combine points from both DBS cards, and the DBS Altitude card also includes two complimentary airport lounge passes.

        DBS Altitude Card

        Earn 1.3 miles per dollar on local spend and 2.2 miles per dollar on foreign currency spend

        2 Priority Pass visits per membership year (Visa version only)

        DBS Woman’s World Card

        • Earn 4 miles per dollar (10X DBS points per S$5) spent online, regardless of local or foreign currency. Capped at S$1,000 spending per calendar month
        • Earn 1.2 miles per dollar (3X DBS Points per S$5) spent abroad in-store 
        • No minimum monthly spending required
        • Best used for online or in-app spend (e.g Kris+) locally

         

        Annual Fee
        • S$196.20, (First year waived)

         

        Income Requirement
        • S$80,000/year (The income requirement is arbitrary – I was approved for the card even though I didn’t meet that income threshold.)

         

        Points Expiry
        • 1 year from transaction (therefore you need to be able to earn miles fast or have multiple DBS points earning credit cards). Minimum redemption is 5,000 points (10,000 miles), leaving smaller amounts unusable (you can redeem mall vouchers, if you really need to.)

         

        Transfer Partners
        • KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, Qantas Frequent Flyer

        Apply for a new Maybank XL Cashback Card or Maybank XL Rewards Card and get S$60 cashback when you make just one transaction (limited to first 2,000 eligible cardmembers), for the subsequent customers, you’ll get S$10 cashback.

        How to Maximise Your Rewards

        The XL card’s welcome gift is only S$10 cashback. If you’re new to Maybank and want better sign-up rewards, consider this strategy:

        • If you planned to get the XL Cashback Card, apply for the Maybank Family & Friends Card instead (also a cashback card).

        • If you planned to get the XL Rewards Card, apply for the Maybank World Mastercard instead (a miles card).

        As a new-to-bank customer, applying for another Maybank credit card first could unlock bigger gifts, such as a Samsonite Interlace Spinner 67/24 luggage (worth S$570) when you spend a minimum of S$1,300 in the first two months.

        On top of that, the Maybank World Mastercard also makes your miles non-expiring—so you’re building a stronger rewards foundation right from the start.

          Maybank Family & Friends Card

          Earn 8% cashback for five of your chosen categories.
