Roundup: Credit Card Sign-up Bonuses (September 2025)

Expired

Planning to apply for a credit card this month? Here's all the sign-up bonuses available for September 2025.

Here’s The MileLion’s monthly roundup of the latest credit card sign-up bonuses in Singapore for September 2025.

If you have any big ticket spending coming up, these bonuses could be an opportunity to rack up some extra miles or gifts, so plan your spending accordingly!

💳 Credit Card Sign-Up Bonuses: September 2025
Primer: Sign-up Bonuses
👉 Primer: Sign-Up Bonuses

A sign-up bonus can be summarised as: spend S$X within Y days to get Z miles

While some cards offer miles with the payment of the annual fee, I’m only looking at offers with a spending component, since this lets you earn miles as a by-product of spending.

Some questions to ask before getting started:

  • Should I cancel any of my existing cards so I can regain new-to-bank status?
    • The best offers are typically reserved for new-to-bank customers, defined as those who don’t hold a principal credit card with a given bank, and have not cancelled one in the past 12 months (this can be as short as 6 months for some; refer to the definition in the T&Cs)
    • If you have only one card with a given bank and don’t use it, consider cancelling it so you can start the clock on resetting your new-to-bank status
  • When do I expect my payments to be due?
    • Credit card sign-up bonuses require you to spend a certain amount in a given time period, usually 30, 60, or 90 days
    • By timing your applications around your payment dates, you stand a better chance of meeting the minimum spend
  • [For those with a partner] Can we leverage “two-player” mode?
    • If your spending is significant, then each of you could sign up for a principal card to enjoy the same bonus twice
    • If your spending is not so large, then one of you could sign up for a principal card and give the other a supplementary card, so as to pool your spending
    • Remember, you can only transfer miles to the principal cardholder’s frequent flyer account. However, KrisFlyer allows you to redeem miles for friends and family, so this won’t be that big a deal

At a glance: Current sign-up bonuses

Here’s a summary of the current sign-up bonuses on the market, presented two ways: 

  1. Payoff ratio
  2. Cost per mile

Payoff ratio refers to the bonus miles divided by total spend (excluding annual fee). Basically: what’s the bang for your buck? For every S$1 of spend, how many miles do you get?

On that basis, here are the best sign-up offers.

Cost per mile refers to the annual fee divided by bonus miles. If you need to pay an annual fee as part of the sign-up bonus, you’re essentially paying for miles— the question is, how much?

On that basis, here are the best sign-up offers.

Ultimately, both sets of ranking criteria have a common shortcoming: they only look at miles. Some of these cards have additional benefits like free hotel nights or airport lounge access, which you’ll also need to factor in.

Therefore, it’s always advisable to read through each of the sign-up bonus articles and The MileLion’s Card Reviews before coming to a decision.

Bonus Miles 43,000
Total Miles 46,600
Applicants who have cancelled a principal AMEX HighFlyer Card in the past 12 months are not eligible

New AMEX HighFlyer Cardholders who get approved between 31 July to 30 September 2025 and spend S$3,000 within 60 days of approval will receive 43,000 bonus HighFlyer points (or 10,000 bonus HighFlyer points and an Apple iPad 11-inch A16).

On top of this, they’ll earn 3,600 base HighFlyer points for spending S$3,000 (based on 1.2 HighFlyer points per S$1). HighFlyer points can be converted into KrisFlyer miles at a 1:1 ratio, instantly and without any fees. 

The S$400 annual fee must be paid. There is no requirement that you be new-to-AMEX; the offer applies even if you hold an existing AMEX consumer card. Applicants who have cancelled a principal AMEX HighFlyer Card in the past 12 months are ineligible.

The AMEX HighFlyer Card comes with a complimentary Accor Plus Explorer membership with a 1-night hotel stay and up to 50% off dining across Asia Pacific. This will be replaced by ALL Accor+ Explorer on 1 October 2025, so be sure to read this post for the full details of everything that’s changing.

Existing customers are defined as those who have not cancelled a principal AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend Card in the past 12 months

New-to-AMEX cardholders who apply and receive approval for an AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend by 30 September 2025 will receive 15,800 bonus miles when they pay the annual fee and spend S$1,000 within 60 days of approval. They will also earn a further 1,200 base miles (S$1,000 @ 1.2 mpd).

Existing AMEX cardholders who apply and receive approval for an AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend by 30 September 2025 will receive 15,000 bonus miles when they pay the annual fee and make their first spend of at least S$1 within 30 days of approval.

The calculations assume that this is your first-ever American Express Singapore Airlines cobrand card. If you have held one in the past at any time, you need to deduct 5,000 miles from the bonus component.

While the first year’s annual fee cannot be waived, you’ll receive a complimentary one night stay at participating Hilton properties and Hilton Silver status (which saves you the 5th night off award night redemptions).

Unfortunately, the AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend is a lot less attractive now, following its November 2024 nerf, which removed its lounge vouchers, reduced its earn rates, and hiked the annual fee.

Existing customers are defined as those who have not cancelled a principal AMEX Platinum Charge in the past 12 months

New-to-AMEX customers who apply and receive approval for an AMEX Platinum Charge by 30 September 2025 will receive 80,000 bonus MR points (50,000 miles) when they spend S$8,000 within 90 days of approval. They will also earn a further 10,000 base MR points (6,250 miles) for the S$8,000 spend. 

Existing AMEX customers who apply and receive approval for an AMEX Platinum Charge by 30 September 2025 will receive 45,000 bonus MR points (28,125 miles) when they spend S$3,000 within 90 days of approval. They will also earn a further 3,750 MR points (2,344 miles) for the S$3,000 spend. 

The AMEX Platinum Charge, unfortunately, has suffered three big nerfs in 2025 so far, which you should be aware of before applying for a card:

This is also the weakest welcome bonus in recent memory, and with the tightened eligibility criteria (even a supplementary card now disqualifies you from being new-to-AMEX!), you might want to wait and see if something better comes along.

Citibank is further enhancing the Citi PremierMiles Card’s sign-up bonus this month with an extra S$100 Trip.com gift card, on top of the usual welcome offer of up to 30,000 miles. 

New-to-bank customers can earn 30,000 bonus miles + S$100 Trip.com gift card when they pay the S$196.20 annual fee and spend S$800 within 2-3 months of approval (the exact timeframe depends on when approval comes through; you have until the end of the second month after the approval month to spend).

Alternatively, they can earn 8,000 bonus miles + S$100 Trip.com gift card when they spend S$800 within 2-3 months of approval, together with an annual fee waiver.

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 960 base miles (S$800 @ 1.2 mpd).

Total Miles 59,600
Offer valid for anyone who has not cancelled a Citi Prestige Card in the past 12 months

The Citi Prestige Card is offering a welcome bonus of 57,000 bonus miles for cardholders who:

  • Pay the S$651.82 annual fee (32,000 miles)
  • Spend S$2,000 by the end of the second month following approval (25,000 miles)

Citigold and Citigold Private Client customers will receive an extra 8,000 bonus miles for a total of 65,000 bonus miles. 

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 2,600 base miles (S$2,000 @ 1.3 mpd).

As a reminder, Citi PayAll transactions can be used to meet the minimum spend, provided the annual fee is paid. Alternatively, you can use your card to make direct payments for things like insurance, hospital bills, and charitable donations- even though you won’t earn any base miles for these, they will count towards minimum spend.

What’s noteworthy about this offer is that it’s available to existing Citi cardholders as well, so holding a Citi PremierMiles Card or Citi Rewards Card won’t disqualify you from participating.

Do note that the Citi Prestige Card hiked its annual fee to S$651.82 on 1 July 2025, and also cut its lounge benefit to 12x visits per calendar year. 

Citi Rewards Card

Total Miles 19,200
New customers are defined as those who do not currently hold a principal Citi credit card, and have not cancelled one in the past 12 months

New-to-bank customers can earn 16,000 bonus miles when they spend S$800 within 2-3 months of approval (the exact timeframe depends on when approval comes through; you have until the end of the second month after the approval month to spend). The first year’s annual fee is waived.

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on online transactions (and you should, given how easy it is), you’ll earn a further 3,200 base miles (S$800 @ 4 mpd). An easy way of doing this would be through Amaze, which turns offline transactions into online ones- though keep in mind that a 1% fee (min. S$0.50) applies to all transactions in SGD.

I consider the Citi Rewards Card to be practically essential for miles collectors, and if you don’t have one for whatever reason, that’s something you need to change.

New-to-bank customers who apply for a DBS Altitude Card with the promo code ALTP38 will enjoy 38,000 bonus miles when they pay the S$196.20 annual fee and spend S$800 within 60 days of approval. 

They must also have a valid DBS PayLah! account by the end of the qualifying spend period, which shouldn’t be very difficult to do.

Should you not wish to pay the annual fee, applying with the code ALTPW28 gets you a first year fee waiver, with 28,000 bonus miles.

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 1,040 base miles (S$800 @ 1.3 mpd).

The HSBC Premier Mastercard is offering new and existing HSBC cardholders up to 106,200 bonus miles when they:

  • Pay the annual fee of S$708.50 (not required for HSBC Premier customers with a minimum AUM of S$200K)
  • Spend at least S$5,000 by the end of the month following approval
  • Opt-in for marketing communications during the sign-up process (do not forget this step, or you won’t get anything!)

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 8,400 base miles (S$5,000 @ 1.68 mpd).

This is an excellent offer in my opinion, especially since you also enjoy up to four unlimited-visit Priority Pass cards, complimentary airport limo transfers, and World Elite benefits as a cardholder.

The HSBC TravelOne Card is offering new and existing HSBC cardholders up to 33,600 miles and 21,600 miles respectively when they:

  • Pay the annual fee of S$196.20
  • Spend at least S$1,000 by the end of the month following approval
  • Opt-in for marketing communications during the sign-up process (do not forget this step, or you won’t get anything!)

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 1,200 base miles (S$1,000 @ 1.2 mpd).

Cardholders enjoy other perks like four lounge visits per calendar year (or eight in the first membership year), 20 transfer partners, as well as instant, fee-free conversions.

Do remember that this is not a card you want to apply for if your goal is to earn KrisFlyer miles, following HSBC’s devaluation of transfers earlier this year. If you choose KrisFlyer, your bonus is cut to 28,000 miles and 18,000 miles for new and existing cardholders respectively. Instead, you’ll want to explore programmes like British Airways Executive Club and EVA Air Infinity MileageLands, where the transfer ratios allow you to get the full 33,600/21,600 miles.

The StanChart Beyond Card is offering both new-to-bank and existing StanChart customers a 100,000 miles welcome bonus.

This is split into:

  • 60,000 miles for paying the S$1,635 annual fee
  • 40,000 miles for spending at least S$20,000 within 90 days of approval (S$10,000 if you’re a StanChart employee)

Assuming you’re a regular StanChart customer and spend the S$20,000 in local currency, you’ll earn an additional 30,000 base miles (S$20,000 @ 1.5 mpd). Priority Banking and Priority Private cardholders will earn 40,000 base miles (S$20,000 @ 2 mpd).

The StanChart Beyond Card isn’t cheap by any means, and would-be applicants should think very carefully about whether they can make the math work. I’ve covered this more in the article below.

It’s not very often we see a welcome offer for the StanChart Visa Infinite, but from now till 30 September 2025, new applicants can enjoy 50,000 bonus miles when they pay the first year’s S$599.50 annual fee and spend S$2,000 within 60 days of approval. This offer is available to both new and existing StanChart cardholders. 

If you’re new to Standard Chartered, however, you can enjoy an extra S$100 cash by applying through SingSaver. 

I personally don’t think the StanChart Visa Infinite is a very compelling card, as the main benefit it offers are six lounge visits and the opportunity to buy discounted miles via its income tax payment facility. However, if you’re just in it for the bonus miles, then you basically pay 1 cent (new) or 1.2 cents (existing) per mile, which is an attractive price.

New customers are defined as those who do not currently hold a principal UOB credit card, and have not cancelled one in the past 6 months

New-to-bank/existing customers will enjoy 80,000 miles/40,000 bonus miles when they apply for a UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card, pay the S$654 annual fee and spend S$4,000 within 30 days of approval.

Assuming you clock the minimum spend on local transactions, you’ll earn a further 5,600 base miles (S$4,000 @ 1.4 mpd).

Unfortunately, the S$200 Grab vouchers which were previously offered to new and existing cardholders are no longer available, which makes this offer somewhat less attractive.

That said, the minimum spend can be met through spend on education transactions, a relative rarity in this day and age.

My picks for September 2025

If you’re in a position to open a HSBC Premier account (min. AUM S$200,000), then the HSBC Premier Mastercard is a no-brainer with its 106,200 miles welcome bonus. The annual fee is waived for fully-funded HSBC Premier accounts, and up to four cardholders can receive an unlimited-visit Priority Pass. 

Obviously, you’ll want to ensure the funds in the account are earning a decent rate of return too (they can be invested into equities too).

This would also be a good time to get a Citi PremierMiles Card, because Citi has added an extra S$100 Trip.com gift card on top of the standard 30,000 miles welcome offer.  Alternatively, you can also consider the StanChart Journey Card (30,000 miles), because the S$180 cash gift from SingSaver reduces the annual fee to an almost negligible S$16.20.

Do note that you will only count as a new customer for the first card you’re approved for. Subsequent approvals will receive existing customer gifts, if any.

Conclusion

As with all credit card sign-up offers, it’s important to read through the T&Cs to confirm eligibility, qualifying spend definitions, and fulfilment timelines. Don’t panic if you don’t see the bonus immediately upon meeting the minimum spend; these usually take three months or more to process.

I also recommend saving a copy of the T&Cs for your own reference, because banks may overwrite the T&Cs when new campaigns are launched, or worse, retroactively modify them!
