Qualifying Spend
The approved card must be activated and a minimum qualifying spend of S$500 charged in the first 30 days from approval, and another S$500 charged during the subsequent 30 days (i.e. S$1,000 total).
For example, if your card is approved on 30 November 2021, your first 30 days runs from 1 December 2021 to 30 December 2021, and the second 30 days from 31 December 2021 to 30 January 2022.
According to the T&C, qualifying spend refers to any retail transactions (including internet purchases) which do not arise from:
- ez-Link/ Transit Link top-up and reload
- Cash advances
- Balance transfers
- Fund transfers
- CIMB 0% i.Pay Plan
- Fees
- Interest Charges
- Amounts brought forward from previous statements
However, the CIMB T&Cs further restrict you from spending on:
- Charitable donations
- Government transactions
- GrabPay top-ups
- Insurance
- Utilities
Unfortunately, GrabPay top-ups can no longer be used to clock spend for CIMB sign-up offers.
Gift Fulfillment
Gifts will be fulfilled by SingSaver within four months of meeting the qualifying criteria. The reason for the long delay is the need to confirm the qualifying criteria with the bank. If you’re not comfortable with this timeline, please don’t apply; you’re just going to get annoyed with the wait.
Cash gifts will be fulfilled by PayNow, while merchandise will need to be collected at a specified redemption centre.
Any enquiries about gift fulfillment should be sent to info@singsaver.com.sg
any idea how long a CIMB CC takes to arrive? A quick google search suggests 4-6 weeks, kinda horrifying :screams:
