Heartlander Turbocharged December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 My habit has been not to redeem the rebate amount when using my POSB Everyday card for petrol payment. Just realised the other day that it has accumulated to close to $1000! Working backward, I would have pumped $1000/6% = $16k of petrol to accumulate this rebate amount! Just curious anyone can do better? I am actually quite proud of this as I believe most would just redeem the rebate after hitting certain amount for whatever reasons. |Anyway bear in mind this is just a trivial thing, nothing outstanding haha. Just need abit of discipline to achieve - 3 years + to be exact. Those who have been using the card for other expenses would have taken a shorter time to achieve it. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko 2nd Gear December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I always use this card for my top up at SPC. Always ask them to deduct the full rebate earned from the previous top up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartlander Turbocharged December 12, 2014 Author Share December 12, 2014 I always use this card for my top up at SPC. Always ask them to deduct the full rebate earned from the previous top up. That has been the temptation I have been facing every week, haha. For me not easy to do it week after week for > 3 years. But has been getting harder and harder to resist. Maybe can redeem a gadget if come across something I like soon. Not really thinking of using it on petrol haha. But then will have to start from zero again...

Jman888 Moderator December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I used to pump caltex many years back and accumulating points until I could redeem a TV from them, that was more than $20k worth of petrol [Laugh] 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geboz Clutched December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I always use this card for my top up at SPC. Always ask them to deduct the full rebate earned from the previous top up. Like that you lose the 6% rebate when you make the deduction. Best is to use the rebate to offset card bill. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid Hypersonic December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I always use the rebates to offset the CC bill. That's the most economical way to use it. Never had more than $100 in my account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic2000 Supercharged December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 How to use rebate for CC bill? If you have an Internet Banking with DBS/POSB, you log into the DBS iBanking. At IB homepage, You will see “Redemption of POSB Everyday Card Daily$ and SAFRA$" "Click here to redeem" After you click on the button, a new window will pop out and this is what you see: Redemption of Daily$ / SAFRA$ Terms and Conditions: • Please ensure you have sufficient Daily$ or SAFRA$ to perform the transaction. DBS requires 7 working days to effect the redemption, should your payment due date fall within this period, you are strongly advised to make other payment arrangements to avoid late/penalty fees if any. • A minimum redemption amount of Daily$10 or SAFRA$10 is required. • Comfort taxi voucher redemption must be redeemed in blocks of S$5. • All vouchers will be mailed out within 10 working days upon successful redemption. Please select type of redemption: Everyday Card Account (Daily$ redeemed will offset the card outstanding balance) Comfort Taxi Vouchers (Only applicable for Everyday Card) SAFRA DBS Credit Card Account (SAFRA$ redeemed will offset the card outstanding balance) Select the first one if you If you want to use the Daily$ to off set card outstanding balance Click the Submit button and you are done. This is the best way of utilizing your daily$. Using Daily to offset the purchase is not worth it, as no rebate will be given for the amount the Daily $ used for the purchase. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmylim 4th Gear December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 one should not use the rebate at the point of payment at spc petrol station, just keep it and use the total amount to offset the final credit card payment. the rebate amount used at petrol station can use to earn extra rebate, not much but why waste it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix0405 5th Gear December 13, 2014 Share December 13, 2014 So far this is the best card. Do not have any pre-condition for rebates (like must spend $200/m) and they don change the rules 1/2 way (like now must spend $500/m). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
