The latest AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend welcome offer increases the minimum spend eightfold to S$8,000, while deferring half the bonus until the next year— upon payment of another annual fee!
Using temporary blocks to protect your cards might be good security hygiene, but beware — it can backfire with Standard Chartered or UOB credit cards!
Earn KrisFlyer Elite Gold when you spend at least S$15,000 on the AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend by 17 December 2026— including S$5,000 on SIA, Scoot, KrisShop or Pelago.
From 18-25 June 2026, get S$430 cash or 26,000 Max Miles (worth at least S$468) when you sign up for a DBS credit card — one of the best offers we've seen in a while.
American Express now has the strictest rules about sign-up bonus eligibility by far, doubling the timeout period to 24 months for new and existing customers.
The UOB Reserve Card feels somewhat underpowered for the elite segment it occupies, though it's likely that the average cardholder won't even notice it.
