DBS provides a list of transactions that do not constitute qualifying spend for this promotion. Curiously enough, they’ve added local transport, petrol, and GrabFood to the usual list. It’s odd, but there’s plenty of other transactions you can do instead.

Conclusion
I can’t think of too many people who don’t have a DBS or POSB credit card by now, but if you’re one of them, here’s a chance to pick up some extra cash while applying.
I’d certainly be going for a DBS Woman’s World Card (men can apply too) and using it for the first S$2,000 of online spending every month. This will give you 4 mpd on things like Amazon, Lazada, Qoo10, air tickets, hotel bookings (which are paid for online), movie tickets and more.
Your card art for POSB Everyday Card outdated already lah… It was changed some time last year
wait. you keep up with the card art for cashback cards?
that’s high treason round these parts!
Haha mum owns an Everyday card. Was hard enough just persuading her to get a credit card for the Multiplier account..
The T&C is a bit confuse, charge retail transactions to the Card within 30 days from Card Approval Date and up to a cap of S$220 cashback
It didn’t mention how much to spend or how many times, does it mean just make one eligible transactions to receive the $220 after approval?
Singsaver additional T&C:
Get 100% cashback when you shop and dine, capped at $220, however didn’t stated in DBS T&C
here’s how it works: whatever you spend in the first 30 days on qualifying transactions, you get back, subject to a cap of S$220.
spend S$250 on dining= get s$220 cashback
spend S$250 on insurance= $0
Thanks Aaron
I read $220 cashback only applicable to retail transactions (within qualifying spend).
Meaning the cashback is not applicable to online transaction (even with qualifying spend)?
online spending IS retail spending, so long as you dont spend on any of the excluded categories
