✍️ Short summary
This card gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on selected online spending categories like:

• Online Shopping
• Flight Tickets (till 31 Dec 2024)
• Ride-Hailing

The 4 mpd earn rate can be enjoyed for eligible spendings of up to $1,000 per calendar month (no minimum spend, foreign currency counts).

Take note that cardholders will only earn 0.4 mpd on other categories and spending above $1,000 per calendar month.

This is a good fuss-free card that offers a great earn rate on online spending, without any annual fee to worry about, and free points conversions (till 31 Jan 2025).

Having many transfer partners gives you fantastic flexibility. For this reason, I recommend using this card over other cards with similar earn rates.

Not into Miles or travel-hacking? Redeem your points for 2.5% cashback instead, on the aforementioned spending categories!

Cardholders also get complimentary access to the ENTERTAINER with HSBC app, where there are over a thousand 1-for-1 deals on dining, entertainment and hotels.

✍️ Short summary
This card, which is also available to men, gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on online spending (in foreign currency too!) on key spending categories like online shopping, flights, hotels, food delivery and ride-hailing, up to $1,500 per calendar month.

The biggest drawback is that DBS points earned on this card have an expiry term of just 1 year. With a minimum transfer block of 5,000 points (10,000 miles), cardholders often find themselves with expiring “orphan” points of under 5,000, that can only be redeemed for low-value items like mall/dining vouchers.
