AMEX KrisFlyer credit cards normally earn a bonus 2 mpd on all Grab transactions (including GrabFood) as an evergreen benefit, capped at S$200 per month.
There’s a new AMEX offer that expands this to cover Deliveroo and foodpanda, albeit on a temporary basis. From 12 May to 11 June 2020, cardholders can register to earn a bonus 2 mpd, capped at S$200 total spending.
This offer is limited to the first 15,000 registered cards, and like all AMEX Offers, it may be targeted. If you don’t see it in the app or online, it means you’re not eligible.
| ❓ What are AMEX Offers? |
| AMEX Offers are opportunities to earn bonus miles or Membership Rewards points, or discounts in the form of statement credits. These are available to Platinum, True Cashback, and KrisFlyer co-brand cardholders, and can be found in the “Offers” section of the AMEX app or web portal. Registration is required, and some offers may be targeted. These are not applicable to DBS/Citi/UOB AMEX cardholders.
|
The 2 bonus KrisFlyer miles are awarded on top of the base miles earned, so you’re looking at a total of 3.1-3.3 mpd, depending on which KrisFlyer cobrand card you hold.

Conclusion
This is a nice little bonus to have, although an overall S$200 cap will probably be exhausted pretty quickly. Don’t forget to register your card before you make any spending.
