8% cashback on online dining & hawker meals
Online Dining
On 8 & 9 August 2021, DBS and POSB Cardmembers will enjoy an extra 8% cashback when they order food online and pay with their credit or debit card.
No minimum spend is required, and the maximum cashback is capped at S$8 per cardmember (regardless of how many DBS/POSB Cards he/she has). In other words, you’ll max out this promotion with S$100 of spending.
The 8% cashback is awarded on top of whatever miles/ cashback/ DBS points/ POSB Daily$ you’d normally earn with your DBS/POSB Cards.

What counts as online dining?
Online dining spend refers to internet or in-app transactions made at merchants with the following MCCs:
| MCC | Examples (Non-exhaustive) |
| 5811: Caterers | Stamford Catering, Tian Wei Signature |
| 5812: Eating Places and Restaurants | Chope, Deliveroo, foodpanda, GrabFood |
| 5813: Bars, Cocktail Lounges | Clink Clink, Zouk |
| 5814: Fast Food | Domino’s Pizza, KFC, McDelivery |
| 5422: Meat Markets | GoodCrop, Song Fish, The Butcher |
| 5441: Sweets, Nuts, Confectionery | Bacha Coffee, Laderach |
| 5451: Dairy Products | DairyFolks |
| 5462: Bakeries | Baker’s Brew, Edith Patisserie |
| 5499: Misc. Food Shops | Nespresso |
| 5921: Package Shops- Beer, Wine, Spirits | Crystal Wines, Paneco |
This is a very wide range of merchant categories beyond just the usual restaurants and food delivery apps. You could order from bakeries, ice cream shops, or even frozen food suppliers (but not supermarkets), so long as they have an online storefront.
Alternatively, if you miss dining in restaurants, you could purchase a ChopeDeals voucher (MCC 5812) and use it after Phase 2 (HA) ends- you’ll save up to S$6 off with DBS/POSB Cards, in addition to the 8% cashback.
If you’re in doubt about the MCC of a particular merchant, it’s possible to look it up using the Visa Supplier Locator. Remember: all orders must be made online. If you head to a restaurant to order in person, you will not qualify for the bonus cashback.
Hawker Meals
Just like previous Extra Bonus Day campaigns, DBS PayLah! users can earn 8% cashback on their first merchant (excludes gojek, ComfortDelgro and Gpay) or hawker transaction on 8 & 9 August 2021.
No minimum spend is required, and the maximum cashback is capped at S$1 per user (so you’d max out the rebate with S$12.50 of spending). This offer is capped at the first 300,000 PayLah! users.
If you prefer to order hawker meals online via WhyQ, DBS/POSB customers can enjoy the following discounts for advance orders:
- WHYQNEW: Up to S$6 off for new users
- PLWHYQ: S$2 off for all users
These codes are capped at the first 500 redemptions per day. DBS will continue to give hawkers S$1 for every order made with PayLah! on WhyQ till 31 August 2021.
