Full list of CardUp promo codes for 2025

Making a payment with CardUp? Don't pay full price if you can avoid it- here's the complete list of CardUp promo codes.

CardUp is a bill payment platform that allows users to earn credit card miles on insurance premiums, tuition fees, taxes, rental, utilities, and other categories of spend that are normally excluded from rewards.

While CardUp normally charges an admin fee of up to 2.6%, this can be reduced with various ongoing promotions.

In this post, I’ll share the full list of CardUp promo codes you can use to save on fees.

How does CardUp work?

💳 CardUp Supported Payments
  • Car Loans
  • Car Rental & Leasing
  • Condo & MCST
  • Education
  • Electricity (except SP Group)
  • Helper Salary
  • Insurance (except NTUC Income)
  • Miscellaneous*
  • Mortgage Loans
  • Property Agent Fee
  • Renovation
  • Rent
  • Season Parking (except HDB)
  • Taxes
*Payment for the provision of goods and services, agent fees, and other categories subject to CardUp’s approval

Here’s how CardUp works:

  1. You submit a payment request
  2. CardUp charges your credit card for the amount due, plus an admin fee
  3. CardUp makes a bank transfer to the receiving party on your behalf. The receiving party need not be registered with CardUp

You earn credit card miles for the amount charged to your card (including the admin fee), and the cost per mile is the admin fee divided by the number of miles earned. 

Summary: CardUp promo codes for 2025

Here’s a rundown of all the CardUp codes available for 2025. 

Do note that all the current promotions are for Mastercard or Visa cardholders only. CardUp has occasional American Express offers, but they’re usually released in limited quantity only.

Details: CardUp promo codes for 2025

For all banks

Homeowner recurring payments (From 1.73%)

Code 3HOME25R
Limit 3x redemptions per user, no cap on overall redemptions
Admin Fee 1.73%-1.83%
Min. Spend None
Cap None
Schedule By 26 December 2025
Due Date By 31 December 2025

3HOME25R T&Cs

CardUp users can use the promo code 3HOME25R to enjoy a 1.73-1.83% fee on recurring home payment categories scheduled by 26 December 2025, with due dates on or before 31 December 2025.

Home payment categories are defined as the following:

  • Mortgage
  • Car Loan
  • Car Rental/Leasing
  • Condo MCST
  • Rent
  • Renovation
  • Season Parking
  • Property Tax
  • Helper Salary

Here’s the catch though: the offer is only valid for new recurring payment categories. What this means is that you must not have scheduled a payment in that particular category before. So if I’ve paid Condo MCST fees via CardUp previously, for example, I won’t enjoy the discounted fee for this category.

Customers will enjoy a 1.83% fee on the first new recurring payment category, 1.78% for the second, and 1.73% for the third. The fee is valid for the first three payments of the recurring series. 

This code is valid for all locally-issued Visa cards.

CardUp FAQs

I’m attaching the usual CardUp FAQ below. Be sure to have a read, because it answers commonly asked questions like whether CardUp payments count towards sign up bonuses (they mostly do) and whether there are any 10X opportunities (there aren’t).

Q: Do CardUp payments earn credit card miles?

A: Yes, that’s kind of the whole point. CardUp transactions code as MCC 7399 (Business Services Not Elsewhere Classified), and will earn miles will all cards except BOC and HSBC

Q: Do CardUp payments count towards minimum spend for welcome offers?

A: Again, yes. The two exceptions are BOC and HSBC cards (as mentioned above), and DBS cards. DBS is odd in that it awards base points for CardUp spend (e.g. 1.3 mpd for DBS Altitude, 1.5 mpd for DBS Vantage), but does not count CardUp transactions towards the minimum spend for welcome offers. 

Q: Are CardUp payments eligible to earn 4 mpd with specialised spending cards?

A: No. Stick to general spending cards with CardUp.

Q: Why did the CSO tell me that CardUp transactions don’t earn points?

A: Unfortunately, bank CSOs will sometimes misinform customers that CardUp transactions aren’t eligible to earn points. This usually happens because the customer asks something like “will insurance paid through CardUp earn rewards?”

Odds are, the CSO has never even heard of CardUp in their life and has no idea what it does. All they hear is “insurance”, and once that trigger word is spoken, the answer will almost certainly be no!

So I wouldn’t worry too much about what the CSO says.

The customer (service officer) isn’t always right!

Q: Is the CardUp admin fee eligible to earn miles?

A: Yes. Suppose you make a payment of S$100 with a promotional fee of 1.99%. The total amount charged to your card is S$101.99, and you’ll earn miles based on S$101.99 of spending.

Conclusion

CardUp’s 2025 promo codes allow cardholders to save on fees when paying taxes, rent, or many other one-off or recurring payments.

Whether it’s worth buying miles through CardUp boils down to how much you value a mile, but on the whole there’s certainly situations where it can make sense. The higher your mpd, the lower your cost per mile, so use the highest-earning general spending card you have.

Aaron, do you think that there is an error for the TAX18 T&Cs? If it is meant for recurring payments, shouldn’t the tax payment be due by 31 March 2026 rather than 31 March 2025? Currently, I’m using MLTAX24 that runs till 25 March 2025 at 1.75% no cap. It seems strange to have a new code to cover the last 2 months of tax payment for the payment cycle.

if I recall correctly, we cannot pay income tax ahead of schedule and it will be refunded?

iamhappy

Hi Aaron, think you forgot the UOB Privilege Banking Card (Visa) for 1.2mpd

PCh

Why now so limited options for discounts for areas like Education? and all the promotions is for ocbc only.

Himynameis

Thank you for the detailed explanation, Mr MileLion!

Leo

No code for AMEX card… =.=

Kev Fang

Are some of the “2026” mentioned meant to be “2025”?

Avery

Hi, for Recurring Payments (1.85%) REC185 promo code, does it work if split payment to 2 and more weekly payments for a yearly insurance premium to qualify?

alice

I guess it works so long it is within $20K per month.

yct

Did you try this? Did it work?

yct

Well I tried it. Went off smoothly

alice

seem like the OCBC18 code only valid till Mar 25 not for the entire year of 2025.

Last edited 9 months ago by alice

looks like the only promo code can use now is REC185 (1.85%), still better than to pay 2.6%.

Ken Tan

hi Aaron, can check with you can uob one card use to buy the miles? Thanks.

A quick data point is that Rental transactions aren’t always MCC 7399. CardUp seems to use MCC 6513 for DBS (as it isn’t excluded from rewards), and for ad-hoc promo codes which sometimes aren’t guaranteed for rewards as they specifically code as 6513 which are excluded by most banks. Likely reason is internal processing fees for 6513 might be cheaper than 7399

Alfred Tan

Citibank listed rental as exclusion for the thank you point, technically we paid the admin fees for CardUp platform yet we are not getting rewards from citibank, this is a big trap if i understand correctly.

Tom

Presumably you can use multiple code?

So, for example, if you have a tax bill of 10k and already have used Cardup before, you could use code MCTAX25 for 5k followed by MLTAX25R for the balance of 5k (assuming you don’t miss the 1,500 slots for the former)?

AnonR

Just signed up with MLTAX25R as a way of saying thanks for a useful site!

Joshua

Does UOB give UNI$ earning on payment using cardup?

Sansan Lim

include useing HSBC visa card ?

ZX Wng

does code MILELION still offer 1.79% service fees? I tried applying it but the service fee was about 2.3% instead

wAt3v3r

given that the fees are lower for recurring payments (1.85%), as compared to one-off payment (2.25%), is it possible to set a payment as recurring, and cancel after the first payment to enjoy the lower rate?

apok

Hey Aaron, coming to the end of 2025. Any advice on when you think CardUp might be announcing their promotions for 2026? Wondering if it’s worthwhile getting one of the OCBC cards to tied over from Jan 2026 to Mar 2026 since some of the Visa ones expire Dec 2025. Thx!

Where is 2026 leh?

It is not the 2025 promos we need. 2025 is all but over. It is the 2026 ones we need to know about !
