DBS offering largest-ever S$300 cashback for new credit card members

DBS has brought back its largest-ever offer for new DBS/POSB credit card sign-ups, which runs from 15 June to 12 July 2021.

New-to-bank customers will receive S$300 cashback when they apply with the promo code MEGAFLASH and make a minimum of one qualifying transaction (of any amount). 

DBS offers don’t get any better than this, so if you still don’t have a DBS/POSB credit card, there’s no better time than the present. 

Which DBS cards are eligible?

The following credit cards are eligible for this promotion. 

Card	Annual Fee	Key Features
DBS Live Fresh Apply here	S$192.60 (First year free)	Up to 10% cashback on online and contactless

• any betting transactions (including levy payments to local casinos, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, off-track betting and wagers);
• any transactions related to crypto currencies; and

It looks like a long list of exclusions, but seriously, it’s no big deal. Go to your nearest supermarket and buy a can of Coke. That’s all you need to do.

Conclusion

S$300 cashback is the highest we’ve ever seen DBS offering, and it’s the perfect opportunity to get yourself a DBS Woman’s World Card (men are eligible too!) for 4 mpd on online spending. Alternatively, the DBS Altitude Visa/AMEX can serve as good all-round general spending cards, with 3 mpd on online hotel and airfare bookings too. 

Remember to submit your applications by end of day on 12 July 2021 to be eligible, and use the code MEGAFLASH.
