February offer: S$300 cashback for new-to-bank DBS/POSB cardholders

From 15-28 February 2022, DBS is bringing back its largest offer for new DBS/POSB credit card sign-ups.

New-to-bank customers will receive S$300 cashback when they apply with the promo code FEBFLASH and make a minimum spend of S$300 within 30 days of approval. That’s basically 100% cashback, and since you can buy Cold Storage or NTUC vouchers to meet the minimum spend, not difficult to convert it into something useful. 

Which DBS credit 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

Here’s what you need to do:

Qualifying spend is based on posted local and foreign retail sales and posted recurring bill payments, but excludes the following:

• posted 0% Interest Instalment Payment Plan monthly transactions;
