To check on your DBS credit card application status, call the customer service hotline at 1800 111 1111.

DBS Rewards

If you’re using a DBS credit card, you’ll be able to accumulate DBS rewards points from your purchases. If you’re using a DBS Corporate, Purchasing, Country Club, Live Fresh Card, Takashimaya Esso, or SAFRA card, you don’t earn DBS points.

DBS points

Your rewards points earn rate differs from card to card. For example, DBS Altitude card holders may earn 3 DBS Points per S$5 spent online in local currency but DBS Woman’s card holders may earn 10 DBS Points per S$5 spent online in local currency. Some transactions do not qualify for DBS points accrual, such as bill payments via AXS, SAM, payments to educational, governmental, insurance, financial, medical, and non-profit organisations, gambling and betting, top-ups to prepaid mobile wallets and cards such as EZ-Link, GrabPay, and Singtel Dash, and instalment plans. These are called general exclusions and you will find them across all major banks in Singapore. An important thing to note is the expiry date: your DBS Points expire a year from your credit card account opening date. In subsequent years, DBS Points expire a year from the date it was earned. That means you will need to keep track of your DBS Points and redeem them promptly.

DBS points to miles

Any DBS credit card can be a “DBS miles card” because you can easily convert your DBS rewards points to Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer miles, Cathay Pacific’s Asia Miles, Qantas Points, or AirAsia BIG Points when you enrol in the DBS Rewards Frequent Flyer Programme. For every 1 DBS point, you get 2 air miles. Conversions must be done in blocks of 5,000 DBS points, takes 7 working days, and is subject to a $26.75 transfer fee for each transaction.

DBS rewards redemption

To redeem your DBS rewards points, log in to DBS digibank, select “Cards”, followed by “Redeem Rewards”. You will then be able to browse the rewards redemption catalogue and add items to cart. Alternatively, log in to the DBS Rewards website to browse the rewards redemption catalogue and redeem e-vouchers, rebates, and air miles. Finally, if you have the DBS Lifestyle App downloaded on your mobile device, find the “Rewards” category and you will be able to browse the catalogue. To check your DBS points balance, call the DBS customer s service hotline at 1800 111 1111.

DBS Credit Card Overseas Activation

To use your DBS credit card for retail purchases and cash withdrawal at DBS ATMs overseas, you will first need to activate your DBS credit card for overseas use. There are a couple of ways you can activate your DBS credit card: via DBS digibank Mobile, digibank Online, SMS banking, the DBS Lifestyle app, or at any DBS or POSB ATM in Singapore. For purchases in foreign currencies, the overseas transaction fee is 2.8% for Visa or MasterCard, and 3% for American Express (basically the DBS admin fee plus currency conversion charges). For payments converted to SGD via dynamic currency conversion, it is 1% (admin fee by Visa or MasterCard). For overseas charges in SGD, it is 1% (admin fee by Visa or MasterCard).
