What gifts are available?

Here’s the full list of gifts and the quantity available for each Qualifying Period.

Cash gifts will be credited to the qualifying cardholders account by 60 days after the end of each Qualifying Period. e-Vouchers need to be redeemed through the DBS Lifestyle app. You’ll play a mini-game and receive one of the vouchers at random. 

Each of the vouchers have their own conditions, which you can view in the full promotion T&Cs. The FAQs can be found here.

What card should I be using to hit my spending goal?

For online spending, you’ll definitely want to use your DBS Woman’s World Card for 4 mpd, capped at the first S$2,000 each month. 

For contactless spending, the DBS Altitude would earn the usual 1.2 mpd for local currency spending.

Conclusion

Most miles chasers will anyways be using their DBS Woman’s World Card for all online spending, so this adds an extra 8% rebate on top of the usual 4 mpd. 

Spending does not count until you have registered, so take two minutes to do it now.

Hi Aaron after reading the FAQ and T&Cs itโ€™s a bit unclear to met (or Iโ€™m being dense): am I allowed to pick the cash option (which is the most desirable) or does DBS decide for me via the โ€œgameโ€ whether I receive cash or one of the vouchers?

Am I also right in understanding that anyone who hits his target will receive an award matching that target tier? The fact that there are quantities attached to each gift suggests otherwise and is rather worrying.

K W

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the sanity check.

Andy

For folks who don’t spend on DBS cards like me, after I signed up, my personal spent goal is $0 )<:

Dave

And I thought “Why would Aaron state the obvious in his article”…

dk

The spending goal will be updated on July 1, isn’t it

I think if you don’t spend, u will most likely get the lowest spending goal instead of “0”

Marian

It says in the tnc that contactless spend are transactions which are $200 and below. Sigh

Promotion is extend for September.
Btw, something unrelated but I would just like to confirm, for the following promotion.

https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/cards/promotions/sg-30firstsep20la.page?cid=sg:en:cbg:dbs:mob:own:eng:pn:rewards:cards:na:sg-30firstsep20la

Say I redeem $10 with 1000 DBS points and I will receive $7 cashback on first redemption.
Meaning the value I get is 1.7cents per point, is that correct.. so still not so worth it, did I calculate correctly?
