✍️ Short summary
This card, which is also available to men, gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on online spending, up to S$1,000 per calendar month, with no minimum spending requirement. This covers a wide range of spending categories like online shopping, flights, hotels, food delivery and ride-hailing.
