Here’s a quick introduction to DBS’ credit card rewards programme: Earn DBS points when you spend on your DBS credit card(s) and redeem them for cash rebates, shopping vouchers and even air miles. Don’t have a DBS credit card yet? Don't forget to check out the latest sign-up promotions aswell.
The base earn rate is $5 = 1 DBS point (usual exclusions like bills, installments, etc apply), but you can earn up 10X more with a DBS Rewards credit card. The amount spent is rounded down to the nearest whole number (e.g. spending $25.01 to $29.99 will earn 5 DBS points). DBS points expire 1 year from the quarter in which they were earned (e.g. points earned between 1 Jul to 30 Sep 2018 will expire on 30 Sep 2019).
Any DBS credit card can be a “DBS miles card” because you can easily convert your DBS rewards points to KrisFlyer miles and Asia Miles (1 DBS point = 2 air miles)! Conversions must be done in blocks of 5,000 DBS points, and there is a $26.75 admin fee for each transaction. It takes 1 to 2 weeks for the DBS points to be transferred into your preferred frequent flyer account.
DBS points redemption can be done online via the DBS Rewards website, DBS Lifestyle app and digibank Online, as well as participating merchant stores, websites, and/or mobile apps. If you’ve chosen to redeem vouchers, you can expect them within 7 working days. To check your DBS points balance, call 1800 111 1111 (24h). For more information, visit the DBS Rewards catalogue.
Want to conveniently withdraw money at DBS ATMs overseas? Enable your DBS credit cards for overseas use via digibank Mobile, digibank Online, SMS banking, the DBS Lifestyle app or at any DBS/POSB ATM in Singapore. For purchases in foreign currencies, the overseas transaction fee is 2.8% for Visa/MasterCard, and 3% for American Express (DBS admin fee + currency conversion charge by Visa/MasterCard). For payments converted to SGD via dynamic currency conversion, it is 1% (admin fee by Visa/MasterCard). For overseas charges in SGD, it is 1% (admin fee by Visa/MasterCard).
