We’ve seen all kinds of credit card sign-up gifts over the years: cash, luggage, shopping vouchers, earphones. But here’s something I daresay we’ve never seen before.
In a new campaign called #ownthefuture, SingSaver is partnering with American Express to offer up to S$365 bitcoin (BTC) for new card sign-ups, available to both new and existing cardholders.
Seedly x SingSaver #ownthefuture
From 13 September to 10 October 2021, new and existing AMEX customers will receive S$265 and S$50 worth of BTC respectively when they sign up for any of the cards below.
The first 2,000 successful applicants who apply during this period will receive an additional reward of S$100 (new) or S$50 (existing) BTC, on top of the existing reward. Do note this cap is shared among all cards, and both new & existing customers.
Each successful applicant is entitled to a maximum of one reward, regardless of how many cards he/she is approved for via this promotion. In other words, a new cardholder can earn a maximum of S$265 BTC (+S$100 BTC if in first 2,000), while an existing cardholder can earn a maximum of S$50 BTC (+S$50 BTC if in first 2,000).

Terms and Conditions

What about existing signup bonuses?
By the time they distribute the BTC it’s probably worthless
that might be the case if you got X bitcoin. but you’re getting $X in bitcoin. if the price goes down, you get more. if the price goes up, you get less.
“at or around” ๐
The value of Bitcoin for these campaigns will be equivalent to the stated amount in Singapore dollars, at the then-effective exchange rate of Singapore dollars at [or around] the point of disbursement of Bitcoin to the Gemini account. Neither SingSaver or Seedly accepts any responsibility for change in value between now and the ultimate Bitcoin disbursement date
“at or around” just means you shouldn’t complain if you get stiffed a few cents because of currency movements. for you to say it will be “worthless” is a bit of a stretch.
either that or they would be filthy rich.
Looks like Amex just wrote a call option on themselves
they will only give the equivalent amt at point of disbursement …
Has anybody receive the credits in Gemini wallet after confirmation from Singsaver it will be credited. Thanks
