Is this a big deal?

As a refresher, here are the key benefits of the Amaze card:

  1. Amaze card turns all transactions “online”, giving you 4 MPD on almost all offline transactions, when linked with DBS Woman’s World or Citi Rewards cards.
  2. Amaze card converts foreign currency spending to SGD at a good rate, saving you about 3% worth of fees on your credit cards.

You will still be receiving a 1% cashback on foreign currency spending, albeit with a lower cap and increased minimum spending.

As long as the two key benefits remain untouched, the Amaze card is still EASILY the best card in Singapore right now.

Bottom line

The Amaze card is a little less amazing right now but this is not horrible news at all. But if you’ve followed all the devaluations of the Grab card and Razer card in recent years, you can probably guess where this is going. Enjoy it while it lasts!
