Final Thoughts:
The POSB Everyday Card may be one of the best cashback credit card available for those who spend on the merchants in the “no minimum spend required” categories, specifically on Sheng Siong (max S$600 spending cap) and SPC (no spending cap). The categories that require a high minimum spend of S$800 is not necessarily a compelling proposition as I could see other cards that could offer a better deal. If my main mode of transport is public transport, I would be more inclined to get Standard Chartered SMART card. If I drive and pump petrol at SPC, I would be more inclined to get this card.
💳 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.
