DBS has launched a new campaign which offers cardholders an extra S$120 cashback on Singapore Airlines and Scoot tickets, on top of the usual credit card rewards.
Cardholders will need to register via the DBS PayLah! app and meet their personalised spend goal by 31 October 2025. Since there’s a good chance you’ll be using your DBS Woman’s World Card for air ticket bookings anyway, this is a great opportunity to snag some extra cashback in the process.
DBS offering S$120 cashback for Singapore Airlines and Scoot tickets
From 15 July to 31 October 2025, DBS cardholders can register to earn S$120 cashback on Singapore Airlines and Scoot tickets.
Registration can be done via the DBS PayLah! app. Tap on the ‘Rewards’ tab and look for the ‘Singapore Airlines & Scoot Cashback Promotion 2025’ banner.
Upon registration, you’ll receive your personalised spend goal. In my case, this was S$1,000, though S$2,000 has also been reported.
There is a maximum registration cap of 30,000 cardholders, so try to register as soon as possible.
What counts as qualifying spend?
Qualifying spend refers to both Singapore Airlines and Scoot bookings, in SGD and FCY, made directly via the Singapore Airlines and Scoot websites or mobile apps. Bookings made through third parties like Expedia, Trip.com or offline travel agencies will not qualify.
While not explicitly stated, I’m fairly confident that both commercial and award ticket bookings will qualify, because either way the merchant on record will be Singapore Airlines. In fact, you could even book award tickets on Star Alliance partners— so long as the merchant name is Singapore Airlines (and it will be, if you book via KrisFlyer), it will count as qualifying spend.
Qualifying spend is cumulative across all DBS credit cards, so you could split your spending across multiple cards if you wish. For example, if your goal was S$2,000, spending S$1,000 on the DBS Altitude Card and S$1,000 on the DBS Woman’s World Card would suffice.
Also note that qualifying spend is only counted from the date of registration; any spending prior to that will be disregarded, even though it falls within the promotion period.
Qualifying spend must be charged within the promotion period, and posted by 7 November 2025. This means that you should be able to safely spend towards the end of October as well, because seven days is more than enough time for transactions to post.
When will the cashback be credited?
Cashback will be credited to the credit or debit card that was last transacted on, within five working days after a push notification is sent that 100% of the spend goal has been met.

Which card should you use to spend?
If you’re interested in earning miles and points, you’ll probably be using one of the following DBS cards.

Since this campaign spans five months, it’s technically possible for you to keep within the 4 mpd cap of the DBS Woman’s World Card (which, remember, will be nerfed to S$1,000 from 1 August 2025).
Conclusion
DBS cardholders can register to earn an extra S$120 cashback on Singapore Airlines and Scoot tickets, on top of their usual credit card rewards.
You’ll need to spend at least S$1,000 or S$2,000 (or possibly some other amount, if there’s other targeted spend goals out there), but this can be spread out over multiple transactions— all that matters is the cumulative spend.
Since I use the DBS Woman’s World Card for these transactions anyway, it’s a great opportunity to earn an extra rebate of 12% (assuming a S$1,000 spend goal) on top of the usual 4 mpd.
What other spend goals have you been targeted for?
Interesting. Are the cobrand partnerships up for renewal soon?
Solid hack! thanks Aaron!
Hi Aaron, just to clarify the T&C shows all dbs cards are eligible however when I click on selected card on paylah campaign, it doesn’t show dbs woman’s world card. Thanks.
it never shows dbs woman’s world card. but it shows dbs woman’s card. which is the same as far as the system is concerned
Most forget DBS has 2 Woman’s cards (World Mastercard & Mastercard). Even Aaron has omitted the DBS Woman Mastercard on this post. The 5x online rewards is still pretty good and better than Altitude and Vantage. I used 1k on both cards to achieve the 2k milestone for the reward.
Purchased a Scoot ticket on the Scoot app with the DBS Woman Mastercard but the transaction wasn’t counted for some reason. It was denominated in JPY (as its a one way ticket back to SG from JP), so not sure if that was the problem. Had called DBS and they are investigating. Anyone else had the same problem?
Hi KK, has DBS gotten back to you? I booked a one way to trip Malaysia to SG and realised the transaction description is AIR
CARRI0000000JH67NE SINGAPORE SGP as opposed to the usual Scootair. I will call in and check with them tmr too
[…] H/T: Milelion […]
I cannot view my paylah app, is this hit the 30000 limit by now?
I am looking at using Altitude Card to book SIA airticket paying with MYR. It will accrue 5 miles per dollar. I assumed SIA website starting from KUL is included in this promotion?
Just found out that it has to be in person payment and not online.
Don’t see it
15K slots left as of 2pm SG time on 17th July. I triggered a 2k min spend tho – maybe this is DBS’s way to say I am already spending too much!
I do not see it on mine. Perhaps because I only have the debit card?
Will transactions made on DBS debit cards also count? Since I do not have any credit cards from DBS and may not be in the mood to get one also
