Pros

  • +8% cashback on online, contactless mobile and foreign-currency spend
  • +Low entry bar: S$30,000 minimum annual income for Singaporeans/PRs (S$15,000 if aged 55+)
  • +Annual fee waived for the first two years, then auto-waived with S$10,000 annual spend

Cons

  • Requires at least S$800 in qualifying spend each month, or the rate drops to the 0.3% base
  • Cashback is capped at S$25 per category and S$100 per month, so the 8% effectively maxes out around S$312.50 of spend per category
  • 8% foreign-currency cashback does not offset the ~3.25% foreign transaction fee (1% Visa + 2.25% OCBC) plus DCC risk for heavy overseas use
  • No lounge access or travel perks
