✍️ Short summary
This card gives you unlimited 5% in Shopee coins when spending at Shopee (until 23 jan 2025), and unlimited 1.7% cashback on almost everything.

Cardholders can also get 3% cashback on foreign currency spending, but mind the 3% FX fee.

If you are looking for a cashback card with no minimum spending, no limits and no annual fee, there really is no better alternative.

📜 Terms & conditions

Is the Mari Card still good?

It’s unfortunate that MariBank, which is owned by Sea Group, which also owns Shopee, is removing the key selling point of the Mari card. I can only hope that there’s a replacement offer in the works, from 24 Jan 2025 onwards. There must be one, surely!

Without this promotion, the Mari card will continue to be one of the top General Spending (SGD only) cards in Singapore. This is due to the 1.7% cashback rate, and zero annual fee.

Mari cardholders can also receive 3% cashback on foreign currency spending until 31 Dec 2025, but it comes with a 3% FX fee which cancels out this “promo”. There are many better cards for foreign currency spending.
