Sick of taking budget airlines and want to up your travel game and fly via business class? Welcome to the miles game.

When it comes to earning miles, You have to put in time and energy to learn the miles game. There are many miles hacks to speed up the process of earning more miles, and these miles can be used to redeem your next business class flight out.

Do note that airport taxes and other miscellaneous charges are still payable, even if you fully redeem your air tickets.

From the best miles credit cards to sign-up bonuses, and other useful information that you should know about miles, here is our beginners’ guide to the miles game—our tips and travel hacks on how you can accelerate your miles earnings.

THE BEST CREDIT CARDS FOR MILES

Let’s start with credit cards. The most common question that we get is “which is the best credit card for miles”?

Well, sorry to burst your bubble but one size doesn’t fit all; there is no single best credit card for miles. You need several right credit cards in order to maximise the number of miles you can earn because every card rewards differently.

How to decide which credit card to get? This really depends on your spending. Here are the miles credit cards that every miles chaser should get.

4MPD CREDIT CARDS

There are several credit cards that offer you 4mpd (miles per dollar) for certain transactions. Everyone should definitely have these credit cards.

• DBS Women World Mastercard – 4mpd for online shopping, capped at S$2,000 per calendar month.
• UOB Preferred Platinum Visa Card – 4mpd for contactless payments, capped at S$1,000 per calendar month.
• UOB Visa Signatures – 4mpd for contactless payments, minimum S$1,000 per month & capped at S$2,000 per statement month.
• Citi Rewards Visa – 4mpd for all online shopping, capped at S$1,000 per statement month.
• OCBC Titanium Rewards – 4mpd for online & offline shopping, capped at S$12,000 per membership year.

CREDIT CARD FOR GENERAL SPEND

Unless you can get a credit card that offers you 1.6 mpd—including UOB Reserve Card, DBS Insignia Card, OCBC Premier Voyage Card, Citi Ultima Card—your best bet is probably UOB PRVI Miles Visa card which offers 1.4/2.4mpd for local/overseas spending.

Every cent counts. Charge everything to the right credit cards and you will soon be on your way on a business class flight to your favourite destination.

SIGN-UP BONUSES FROM CREDIT CARDS

Several credit cards in Singapore offer pretty decent sign-up bonus when you apply for the credit cards. Here are some credit cards that you can apply to enjoy sign-up bonuses.

• Citi PremierMiles Visa – 6,400 / 26,500 miles (26,500 miles if you spend a minimum of S$9,000 in the first 3 months, or 6,400 miles if you spend S$3,000 in the same timescale with first-year annual fee waived.)
• Standard Chartered Visa Infinite - 35,000 miles (S$588.50 annual fee)
• HSBC Visa Infinite – 35,000 miles (S$650 annual fee)
• Standard Chartered Visa Infinite X – 30,000 miles (S$695.50 annual fee)
• Citi Prestige MasterCard – 25,000 miles (S$535.00 annual fee)
• OCBC Voyage Visa Infinite – 150,000 miles (S$3,210 annual fee)
• DBS Altitude Visa / Amex – 10,000 miles (free annual fee for the first year)

BOOKMARK MILES WEBSITES AND READ MORE ON HOW YOU CAN EARN AND MAXIMISE YOUR MILES

There are many great miles websites that offer a lot of useful tips and travel hacks on how you can earn and maximise your miles.

Some of the miles websites that we refer to and recommend are Mainly Miles, The Milelion, The Shutterwhale & The Points Guy. They provide really in-depth tips and we have benefited greatly from them.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT MILES

1. Cash-back or miles credit cards?

There’s no right or wrong answer for this. For those of you who don’t like to travel or are happy with whatever class you are flying, you can get credit card(s) for cash-backs if you are looking for rebates. But if you aspire to travel more (be it on economy class or business class), it’s really a no-brainer. You need more miles to make this happen!

The dream to fly on business (or first for some) class may seem very far away. But like all good things in life, you need to work hard for it.

2. Which is the best miles card for dining?

Use a good contactless card such as UOB Preferred Platinum Miles (4mpd, capped at S$1,000 per calendar month) or UOB Visa Signatures (4mpd, min spend of S$1,000 and capped at S$2,000 per statement month) when you pay for your bill at restaurants. Note: this only applies to dining places that accept paywave.

Another good credit card for dining is the UOB Lady’s Card (4mpd, capped at S$1,000 per month). You just have to choose ‘dining’ for the bonus category.

3. I just started my first job. Should I apply for credit card(s)?

If you are the kind who has no discipline and cannot stop yourself from spending money, please do not apply for a credit card. The last thing you want is to get into more debts when you haven’t finished paying your study loan.

For everyone else, please do yourself a favour and apply for credit cards. You are going to spend money on things such as transport, food, buying clothes for your new job etc. Why not accumulate miles while you are at it? Just remember to pay your credit card bills on time (or apply giro for them).

4. How do you remember which credit cards to use for different types of spending?

That is honestly the main challenge. Just try your best to remember or create a simple spreadsheet/note for all the credit cards.

5. Do you recommend redeeming miles for economy class?

If you prefer quantity over quality, by all means, use your miles for economy flights. However, from a dollar value stand point, it’s typically not worth it to accumulate miles to redeem economy flights or to upgrade your flight from economy to business class. If you are really planning to accumulate and maximize the value of your miles, save enough to redeem Business or First Class tickets.

6. Is there any way to earn miles on large payments such as rent, taxes and condo maintenance fee?

YES! This brings us to our next point. You guys need to start using ipaymy!

IPAYMY – THE BEST PLATFORM TO EARN MILES

If you want to really rack in the miles, and collect them fast, here’s our secret.

One of the best things that we did since embarking on our journey on chasing miles—other than applying for the right credit cards—is use ipaymy. Since we started using ipaymy in early 2019, we’ve been sharing it with everyone and haven’t looked back since.

ipaymy allows anyone in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia to use your credit card(s) to pay for virtually anything currently paid by bank transfer or cheque including rent, insurance, taxes, tuition, condo maintenance fee etc locally and abroad to over 30 different countries.

By simply shifting these large expenses you are already paying, to ipaymy and your credit card you can earn those miles much faster than you would on normal spend of dining, shopping, and general expenses.

And if you run your own business, you can sign up for an ipaymy business account to pay operating expenses such as invoices to your suppliers and salaries to your employees. You don’t need us to tell you how much miles you can get from these expenses.

ipaymy business accounts also get access to the ‘BE PAID’ product where businesses can issue and collect invoice payments via credit cards from their customers.

HOW IPAYMY WORKS

It takes minutes to create a free ipaymy account. On the easy-to-use dashboard, select what you want to pay: rent, invoice, tax or salary. From there, let ipaymy know who you need to pay, how much and their bank account details. ipaymy then charges your card that amount plus a small fee and pays your landlord, supplier or employees as fast as the next day. It’s THAT EASY to earn more miles!

Plus, you can set up your rent or other obligations on a recurring basis leaving you with one last thing to think about while you passively earn miles every month.

VALUE OF USING IPAYMY

ipaymy charges a transaction fee starting at 2.25% per payment and occasionally runs promotions for reduced fees. (Tip: follow their Facebook page to be in the know on their latest offers.)

First-time ipaymy users can use our code ‘LIC’ to enjoy a discounted fee of only 1.79% on your first payment made with locally issued Visa or Mastercard.

If you are someone wants to travel better, faster, and for up to 70% less then ipaymy is definitely worth it!

Let’s run through a scenario, a business class ticket to Tokyo on Singapore airlines is 94,000 miles. Assuming you have a credit card such as UOB PRVI Miles Visa card that offers you 1.4mpd and you currently spend S$2,000 a month you will earn 2,800 miles per month ($2,000 x 1.4 mpd). At this rate, it will take you 34 months, or just under three years, to earn enough points for a business class ticket. That is a long time to wait and you also run the risk of airmiles devaluing over time.

Now add ipaymy to the scenario. By also paying you monthly rent of S$3,500 for example, you will now be earning 7,700 miles per month allowing you to accumulate enough miles for a Business Class ticket to Tokyo in just 1 year! Adding other expenses, such as taxes, will only accelerate this. Accelerate your miles balance even further by using a newly issued credit card on ipaymy to quickly reach the sign-up bonus.

To give you a dollar perspective, a business class ticket on Singapore Airlines to Tokyo typically cost around S$3,000. The cost of paying your rent for a year on ipaymy is S$928.60 with the LIC 1.79% promo code on your first payment. This is roughly a 70% savings from the market price of a business class ticket! If you are planning a trip to Tokyo, you might as well do it in style!

Ready to get started with ipaymy? You can find a list of the cards that currently earn miles on ipaymy and they are all backed by ipaymy’s ‘Points Guarantee.’

New users of ipaymy can use our code ‘LIC’ upon signing up for an account to make any transaction on ipaymy for a fee of 1.79% on a one-time payment made with locally issued Visa or Mastercard.

You get the idea now? Good, start using ipaymy.

All the best for your miles game!

On 28 September 2015, Citibank re-launched the Citibank DIVIDEND Card – it now comes with even greater savings for all your daily spend, from petrol to groceries, and even our favourite activity – dining. Now, you have more reasons to eat out at your favourite restaurants or check out the latest cafes, and you know which card to use for all your dining bills!

When you eat out at your favourite cafe, or any of the latest swanky F&B joint, you get to enjoy 8% cash back on dining any day of the week, globally! You guys, this is a great deal, because you are actually saving while spending (on necessities!) and you’re rewarded every time you dine out whether it’s breakfast, brunch, lunch, high tea, dinner or supper.

If that alone is not enough for you to use or sign up for the card, think of enjoying even more savings on petrol and groceries with the Citibank DIVIDEND Card. It is a versatile credit card for everyday use.

WHAT YOU CAN ENJOY

Perks of signing up for the DIVIDEND Card is aplenty. Whether you pump your petrol at Esso or Shell, you can enjoy great savings. At Esso, expect savings of up to 20.88%; and at Shell, it’s 20.8%. Significant savings there, yes?

Fret not if you prefer other petrol stations, because you are still entitled to the 8% cash back on petrol which applies worldwide (this is over and above the discounts you get at your favourite petrol station).

For other daily necessities from your grocery shopping, you are also entitled to the fabulous 8% cash back at any supermarket and grocery stores worldwide. Yes, that’s right. Whether it’s Cold Storage, FairPrice, Giant, Marketplace or Sheng Siong in Singapore, or Red Mart online, or even an overseas supermarket, you enjoy this awesome deal all the same.

NEWER AND BETTER

The Citibank DIVIDEND Card has new perks added on to the list, as well as improved entitlements, and we love them all. The previous Citibank DIVIDEND Card cash back percentages for petrol stations, dining and groceries were up to 5%; definitely much lower than the current increased offering of 8%. You might think it is just 3%, but if you work your sums, you would know that these rebates from everyday spend will accumulate to quite an amount.

Also, you get a 0.25% cash back for any other purchases you make with this card with no minimum transaction amount! Your cash back will never expire and you can earn cash back any time, any day, globally.

Here’s how the card has improved:

HOW TO GET 8% CASH BACK – THE BEST CASH BACK IN TOWN

To enjoy the perks of being a cardholder of the Citibank DIVIDEND Card, all you have to “commit” is to spend a minimum amount of S$888 per month. And it isn’t hard, because you can use the card for just about anything; it rewards you for all your daily spend – petrol, groceries and dining, with the biggest savings. Despite the cap of $25 cash back per category (7.75% bonus cash back), you can still chalk up a total of $75 worth of cash back (across 3 categories), plus there is no limit on the 0.25% basic cash back for all your purchases on the card.

Here’s a snapshot on how much you can save:

You can calculate your cash back based on your usual monthly spending habits or learn more about the card and its full terms and conditions here.

POSB is a household name and one so familiar. Most of us probably grew up with a POSB savings bank book, and guess what? Now that we are adults, POSB will still help us with savings!

Do you spend at least S$500 per month? Did you know that you could receive attractive cash rebates when you spend that amount using POSB Everyday Card? Spending has never been more rewarding with POSB Everyday Card, and this might sound ironic but using a credit card appropriately will benefit one immensely.

The card gives you 5% cash rebate on dining every where – from restaurants, to cafés, fast food outlets, bars, entertainment establishments and caterers – every day. And you can enjoy up to 5% cash rebate on your grocery shopping.

While these rebates might not sound a lot, you will be surprised by how much you save in the long run! Sign up for a POSB Everyday Card before 31 December 2015. Here are more Reasons To Get A POSB Everyday Card.

#1 CASH REBATES FOR DINING ANYWHERE

POSB Everyday Card understands that everyone has different dining preferences and is hence granting cardholders 5% cash rebates on all dining expenses. Yes, it does not matter if it is your late night McDonald’s McNuggets meal or a fancy anniversary dinner at Jaan; you would still receive cash rebates for either places anyway.

Now, every reason to pay with POSB Everyday Card no matter where you dine at!

#2 AND EVEN ONLINE GROCERY SHOPPING

If preparing your own meals is what you prefer, this card works for you too.

POSB Everyday Card cardholders still stand to reap equally advantageous benefits. Shopping at grocery store Sheng Shiong entitles you to a 5% cash rebate for your next purchase. Shoppers of both physical and online stores of Cold Storage, Giant, Jasons, RedMart and NTUC Fair Price are also rewarded with a 3% cash rebate. And you stand to enjoy at least S$50 cash rebate each month and best of all, our rebates don’t expire!

#3 DISCOUNTS FOR PETROLUEM

Driving is extremely costly in Singapore and the cost of fuel is as expensive too. Fortunately, SPC&U Cards will grant one a 10% discount while any DBS/POSB Credit/Debit Card gets to offset an additional 5% discount. And that is not all.

The next best part is that POSB Everyday Card generously gives you a 6% cash rebate for your final petroleum bill. That’s a lot of numbers to work with, but one thing’s for sure – your savings will be significant.

#4 OFFSET THOSE DREADFUL BILLS

You are not alone; we dread the chore of paying our bills too.

But it no longer has to be a torture if you were to consolidate them all under POSB Everyday Card. From what we had learned, the cash rebate from your utility bills can be used to offset your purchases at 400+ participating outlets. It is pretty straightforward, and is a win-win situation; you save not just time and hassle, but money too.

#5 USE IT AS AN EZLINK CARD

Picture this: You are rummaging through your wallet and flabbergasted by how stuffed the compartments are with ATM cards, credit cards, ezlink card and whatnot. Some of us even make the blunder of tapping our debit card instead of ezlink card at MRT stations!

But you see, POSB Everyday Card is doubling up as an ezlink card. It sounds impossible, but someone is finally doing this.

#6 AS WELL AS AN ATM CARD

Let’s go on about the issue of limited compartments in our wallet. It bugs us all the time.

And guess what? POSB Everyday Card also acts an ATM card! As if being a credit card and an ezlink card is not enough, POSB has upped the ante and made a 3-in-1 card a reality. Since we started using the card, it has made our lives so much easier as we only have to bring 1 card out instead of 3 cards.

Now, don’t you so need this card with its multiple functions and fantastic cash rebates?

#7 SAVE MONEY EVERYWHERE, EVERY DAY

Be it bills, dining, fuel, education or entertainment, you can easily save money with over 400 participating merchants that are keen to offer you exciting cash rebates. You even get cash rebates from HDB Season Parking, Popular Bookstore and Watsons!

Remember what we said about POSB Everyday Card having us covered with literally everything? Saves us money everywhere, every day indeed.

#8 CURRENT PROMOTIONAL OFFER

And the next step is of course to urge you to sign up for the POSB Everyday Card so that you can join us in reaping the endless benefits!

You can really combine and convert any retail purchase and luxuriate in life with 0% interest rates and low processing fees. Payment can also be done over periods of 3, 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. No more rushing to pay and worrying that interests would be compounded; we don’t need that kind of anxiety in our lives too.

POSB is currently offering a marvellous offer to you. Just sign up for the card before 31 Dec 2015, and get up to S$160 cash rebates when you spend a minimum of S$1,000 on your card.

Dining out in Singapore is a costly affair. We know that the total bill for a meal at a decent restaurant can easily rack up to the hundreds and most people try to avoid dining out at all. But do you know that you can dramatically cut your expenditure with 1-for-1 main course offers and even enjoy complimentary house pours at certain places? No, we are not kidding!

There are numerous ways to significantly reduce the costs of dining and we are thrilled to share these money-saving hacks with you, so that you can feel better about your epicurean lifestyle without worrying too much about the hefty prices.

From credit card rebates, happy hour promotions to The Entertainer app, here are 5 Ways You Can Save Money While Dining Out In Singapore.

#1 CREDIT CARDS REBATE

When used correctly, credit cards can actually help one save a significant amount of money. You just need to choose the right credit cards to apply for.

For example, the OCBC 365 Credit Card gives users 6% cash back on weekend dining and 3% cash back on overseas dining (with a minimum spend of S$600 per month). You can earn up to S$80 cash back every month, which adds up to total amount of S$960 each year!

#2 GROUPON VOUCHERS

Maybe Groupon’s popularity has plummeted, but it is still one of those ways that work. It allows one to purchase dining vouchers from various restaurants via the mobile app or the internet.

You can purchase a S$100 voucher at TungLok XiHé Peking Duck Restaurant for just S$60! These dining deals however do have an expiry date and varying redemption terms and conditions. Do remember to bring the printed voucher along or simply redeem it from your phone.

#3 HAPPY HOUR PROMOTIONS

Most bars do offer Happy Hour Promotions in the evening, where diners usually are entitled to a second alcoholic drink on the house or other discounts. ‘Happy Hour’ sure are two very pleasing words.

For example, diners at Pisco South American Kitchen & Bar get to enjoy 1-for-1 cocktails from 3pm to 7pm daily and Mezza 9 offers 50% discount off all cocktails from 6pm – 9pm from Monday to Friday. What a steal!

For more Happy Hour Promotions, read our guide on The Best Happy Hour Promotions In Singapore.

#4 LADIES NIGHT PRIVILEGES

Being a lady in Singapore has many perks. And you have to make use of them for Ladies Night privileges.

From complimentary beverages to free club entrances, you will be surprised by how much you can save on Ladies Night – typically on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays! Here’s a tip – all ladies are granted free admission and a free house pour at CÉ LA VI on Wednesday nights.

#5 THE ENTERTAINER

The Entertainer is an amazing mobile phone application that entitles users to 1-for-1 main courses and/or beverages (depending on the merchant). And it is an app that we have been signing up for for the last 2 years.

Use The Entertainer App and you can dine at PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel Lime Restaurant for free with a paying adult. Similarly, you get to enjoy 1-for-1 beverage at Habitat Cafe.

It is a Singaporean’s culture to dine out, because there are way too many awesome options to choose from. But if only we could have a rebates card that could reward us on all our dining expenditure. Well, good news for everyone who relates to the aforementioned situation, because there IS a card that rewards you every time you eat out in Singapore!

The OCBC 365 Credit Card is the Card for all the foodies out there, as it gives you cashback all year round at any dining establishment. And because it is applicable to cafes, restaurants, fast food outlets and even caterers, it basically means feasting time all year round!

With the OCBC 365 Credit Card, you can enjoy 3% dining cashback on weekdays and 6% dining cashback on weekends. And when you travel overseas, you can also enjoy 3% cashback on your overseas dining too! What’s more, the card also gives 3% cashback on groceries, online spending and more.

But first, let us share with you how much we’ve saved from using the card for our daily meals. Last week, we went on a C-A-S-H-B-A-C-K cafe marathon, and covered eight cafes with names that with the respective alphabets. It was such fun feasting while saving, and here are the eight cafes in Singapore that we love:

Nothing is sinful here, nothing is lauded with zero calories and unnecessary fats.

A stone’s throw from Haji Lane is Artistry, an artsy Indie cafe that we really love. The laidback vibe and creative menu make a winning combination for this cafe.

The range of unconventional burgers – think Nasi Lemak Burger (S$15) and Crab Burger (S$20) – and a hearty selection of pastas (S$14 – S$16) are note-worthy, and we really love the little arty corner for the creative souls to indulge in and to find themselves.

With so many credit cards in the market to choose from, it can be quite a headache to decide on which one to apply for. What we really appreciate is one all-rounder card that complements our lifestyle and rewards us for our daily expenditure, one that resides permanently in our wallet so that we can turn to it for any scenario – travel, dining, shopping.

The Citibank Clear Platinum Card gives you 5X Rewards (5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend) on dining, overseas spend, and online shopping. While some cards reward you when you only charge for travel, dining or shopping, this card rewards you with all three!

Gone are the days when we’d stand at the cashier, ready to pay for something, only to hold up the queue by spending minutes recalling which credit card offers the best rewards for whatever we are buying.

Here are the Top 4 reasons why you must get the Citibank Clear Platinum Card.

1. EARN REWARDS POINTS WHEN YOU DINE OUT LOCALLY AND OVERSEAS

There are many reasons to get the Citibank Clear Platinum Card, but if we could only choose one, it would obviously be this – you get to earn Reward Points for eating out. How awesome is this? To live in a country where eating is the national hobby, earning 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend when dining out at restaurants, cafes and bars, both locally and overseas is really a bonus.

If you have the habit of charging dining bills to your credit card, why not charge to the Clear Platinum Card and stack up your Rewards Points at the same time? Here’s how: maybe you spend S$100 a week on meals and drinks, which translates into S$5,200 in a year, you’ll earn a whopping 26,000 Rewards Points just from eating out! You could redeem these points for 10,400 miles, S$80 worth of shopping vouchers, or cash rebate.

Delicious food and sweet savings? Sounds like a win-win to us! So, don’t forget to use your Clear Platinum Card on your next visit to Din Tai Fung, Sushi Tei, Starbucks and many more – home and away, for even more rewards.
