Best Credit Cards for Utility Bills in Singapore

Suitesmile rating:

✍️ Short summary
This card can be highly rewarding, but it requires a lot of tracking work on your part and can be very time-consuming.

Earn up to 3.33% cashback on almost everything, including online shopping, in-person shopping, dining, groceries, ride-hailing, food delivery, utilities and even phone/internet bills.

Why “up to” 3.33%? Upon meeting certain conditions, cardholders get a fixed cashback amount of S$60, S$100 or S$200 at the end of each quarter.

How to receive up to 3.33% cashback:

• MANDATORY: Make at least 10 transactions per statement month
• Get S$60 cashback when you spend at least S$600 per month, for 3 consecutive statement months in a qualifying quarter
• Get S$100 cashback when you spend at least S$1,000 per month, for 3 consecutive statement months in a qualifying quarter
• Get S$200 cashback when you spend at least S$2,000 per month, for 3 consecutive statement months in a qualifying quarter

In other words, you will only receive exactly 3.33% cashback when you spend exactly S$600, S$1,000 or S$2,000 for 3 consecutive months in a qualifying quarter. For example, a cardholder who spends S$1,800/month in that same period, would fall under the S$1,000 band and be rewarded with just S$100 cashback (equivalent to 1.85%).

Cardholders who meet the conditions for up to 3.33% cashback described above can earn up to 6.67% additional cashback (total up to 10% cashback) at selected merchants like Grab, Shopee, Giant, Cold Storage and SimplyGo. This additional cashback is capped at S$120 per statement month.

Cardholders can also receive uncapped 1% cashback with no minimum spending requirement when spending at the following advertising platforms:

• 99.co
• EdgeProp
• PropertyGuru
• StreetSine
• Facebook & Meta (with MCC 7311)

This is a decent card for dining and transport spending (5% cashback) but the cashback earn rates on other categories are really weak for a card with an S$800/month minimum spending requirement. Consider using better Cashback credit cards.

Get just 0.25% cashback on other spending categories.
