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:

C / CRAFTSMEN SPECIALITY COFFEE

One of the newest cafes to open in the East, Craftsmen Speciality Coffee at Siglap V has already garnered a strong following among locals and expats who are staying in the neighbourhood. The food menu is simple and it consists of mainly all day breakfast and brunch items like Croissant Sandwiches (S$15), Toast (S$5 – S$15), Pies (S$9.50 – S$12.50), as well as sweet and savoury Waffles (S$15).

A / AFTERGLOW BY ANGLOW

Fancy a guilt-free meal in a chic environment? Then Afterglow is for you! We love its 90′s ambience with dim lights and ditzy tiled floor, but more than that, we actually feel good going all healthy with its eat-clean menu. Nothing is sinful here, nothing is lauded with zero calories and unnecessary fats. The menu is carefully put together by a team of enthusiastic health nuts, and no, healthy eating does not equate salads. Be surprised by the selection of sushis, pastas and sandwiches here at Afterglow!

A / ARTISTRY

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. Predominantly monochromatic, Artistry boasts an inviting decor for brunch and a cuppa. 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.

C / CAFE MELBA

We always love a good “glasshouse cafe” with high ceilings and ample sunlight streaming in. Cafe Melba is one of those rare ones like that in Singapore, with both indoor and outdoor seating, a family-friendly environment, and honest food for the tummy. We popped by on a weekend for brunch, and fell in love with the truffle fries and Homemade Brioche French Toast. The Eggs Florentine and pancakes were decent, too.

K / KITH CAFE

Kith Cafe at Park Mall has long been our go-to cafe in town due to its accessible location, but ever since we discovered its branch at the tranquil Quayside Isle, we have been going there more regularly instead.

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.

2. EARN EVEN MORE REWARD POINTS WHEN YOU SPEND DURING YOUR HOLIDAYS OVERSEAS

Worried about how much cash to carry or which credit card to bring along on your next overseas trip? Fret not! For folks who travel frequently like us, using the Clear Platinum Card is an effortless way to chalk up Rewards Points while traveling with ease. With 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend in a foreign currency, this is the only card we need.

What’s more, enjoy greater savings with exclusive travel deals from Expedia, Emirates, Agoda and more. Remember to charge your airfare to the Clear Platinum Card, and activate your complimentary travel insurance before you travel. Looking forward to your next weekend getaway or year-end holiday already?

3. RETAIL THERAPY IS THE BEST THERAPY, AND YOU WILL BECOME EVEN HAPPIER WHEN YOU USE THE CLEAR PLATINUM CARD FOR ONLINE SHOPPING

Been eyeing that IT bag from Reebonz or that pair of diamond ear rings from Blue Nile? Shop with the Clear Platinum Card and earn 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles on all your online purchases. On top of this, get up to 40% off at your favourite online stores like Luxola, Zalora and UNIQLO and more!

So now you’ve earned and accumulated all these Rewards Points, what’s next? Transfer your Rewards Points to your preferred Airlines’ Frequent Flyer Programs like KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, Sky Miles or Hotel Membership Programs. If you’re not a miles junkie, you can use your Rewards Points to offset your next purchase, redeem for vouchers, or get cash rebate.
