Bottom line

The DBS Altitude card recently had its key feature nerfed, and is now just an average General Spending card. This offer makes it a worthy card once again, for those travelling in the coming months.

I don’t expect any reader to still hold on to the DBS Altitude card, but if you are travelling in the next few months, and do not already have the card, I would consider signing up for it. Miles earned on this card never expire, and cardholders get 2 complimentary airport lounge visits per year.

Remember to register for the offer every calendar month from now till 31 Dec 2024!
