DBS Altitude Cards offering 8 mpd on Expedia hotels & flights

For the month of September 2022, DBS Altitude Cardmembers can earn up to 8 mpd on flight and hotel bookings made through Expedia, 33% more than the regular year-round rate of 6 mpd.

While hotels must be prepaid and only selected airlines are participating, this could still prove useful if you’re planning any upcoming travel.

DBS Altitude 8 mpd promo

From 1-30 September 2022, DBS Altitude AMEX and Visa cardholders will earn up to 8 mpd on flight or hotel bookings made through Expedia, broken down as follows. 

This is capped at S$5,000 per month, or 40,000 miles in total. Do note that the cap applies on a card level basis; if you have both the AMEX and Visa, you can enjoy a combined cap of S$10,000 per month, or 80,000 miles in total. 

Bookings must be made through the dedicated DBS Altitude Expedia page, which can be accessed via the link below.

DBS x Expedia Microsite

While the booking must be made from 1-30 September 2022, the travel/stay period can be anytime. 

Eligible hotel bookings are those where payment is made to Expedia at the time of booking (i.e. not applicable if you select to pay later at the hotel).

Eligible flight bookings are those made with any of the participating airlines below. 

Singapore Airlines is a notable absentee, but at least Korean Air, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines are all participating. 

The promotion is also valid for travel packages comprising of eligible hotel and eligible flight bookings made in a single transaction. 

When will bonus miles be credited?

Transactions will earn 1.2 mpd (SGD) or 2.0 mpd (FCY) initially, with the remaining 1.8 mpd (SGD) or 1.0 mpd (FCY) credited by the 16th day of the following calendar month. If the 16th is not a working day, the crediting will happen on the next working day. 

The remaining 5 mpd will be credited within 60 days after the end of the promotion period, i.e. by 30 November 2022.

Be sure to comparison shop!

Whenever you’re booking through a dedicated landing page for a bank & OTA collaboration (whether it’s DBS with Expedia, UOB with Agoda etc.), you always need to make a point of comparison shopping. 

While there shouldn’t be too much difference for flights, the difference for hotels can be significant. Make sure you’re not paying over the odds for miles!

I’d recommend doing a comparison with the hotel’s official website, as well as an alternative like Kaligo which offers up to 10 mpd for hotel bookings.
