From now till 16 August 2018, the OCBC Titanium Rewards card is offering 12 mpd (30 OCBC$) on purchases made at ZALORA, capped at a maximum of S$1,000. OCBC cardholders can also use the promo code: SHOPOCBC20 to get 20% off with a minimum of S$120 spent, valid until 30 Sept 2018.
The T&C of the promotion can be found here.ย OCBC has run 12 mpd promotions before, most memorably the one at IKEA. ZALORA’s appeal is probably more limited than IKEA’s, but hey, if you’re going to buy something…
A quick search on Carousell shows ZALORA gift cards going at 10% off, so assuming you could find a buyer for S$1,000 worth of cards, you’d be paying S$100 for 12,000 miles. That’s quite a decent rate, but obviously you run the risk of ending up with gift cards you have little use for (and also buyers offering you $2 with the request for “fast deal bro”).
As you all know, OCBC will end its 4 mpd promotion on mobile payments by 4 August, but if they keep running promotions like this there may be some value in keeping the card.
Hi there, typo above? “so assuming you could find a buyer for S$1,000 worth of cards, youโd be paying S$100 for 12,000 miles.”
You pay$1000 for the vouchers, sell them for a 10% discount and get $900. Net spend is $100 for 12,000 miles. Easy? Welcome to the world of miles!
Hi Aaron,
Do you know…? Does this $1,000 โeat intoโ ones โ$12,000 p.a. max spendโ? or would it be like Mileslife 6X promo where it doesnโt count into..?
separate.
Sorry Aaron.. Forgive my duh-ness.. just so Iโm correct…
So Iโve maxed my $12,000 p.a. 4 mpd on both blue and pink cards..
I go onto Zalora.com, buy $1,250 worth of Zalora Giftcards, enter Promo Code for 20% off and pay $1,000 using either OCBC Ti Card, which will then earn me 12,000 Miles that will be credited by 30 Sep 2018..?
gift cards are excluded for 20% promo code

Earn 4 miles per dollar for online and offline shopping, and wherever mobile payments are accepted. Earn 6 miles per dollar with Mileslife.โ
Still earning 6 mpd with Mileslife?
fixed, thanks
Not sarcasm, I was hoping you were correct!
E gift cards bought from Zalora online have a one year expiry. The physical Zalora gift cards you buy from 7-Eleven stores (by AP) do not have expiry, until you scratch the card and key the code into your account.
buy from 7-11 will have 12mpd?
??โโ๏ธ
to “renew” the credits, buy something from zalora and refund it. credits will be refunded with 1 more year to spend.
has anyone found anything on Lazada for which the discount code works? lmao
