It’s worth noting that the SCB Rewards+ card, while not spectacular in and of itself, can nonetheless be useful when paired with an SCB X Card or SCB Visa Infinite. That’s because SCB pools points among cards, and you can redeem them at the preferable rate offered to X Card/Visa Infinite members. This means your Rewards+ card will earn 4 mpd on foreign currency spending, capped at S$2,222 per membership year.

It’s important to take a screenshot of the application reference number for your own records, and fill in the SingSaver Rewards Form (sent to your email) promptly. Failing to do so may result in you missing out on your gift.
