Same, not yet utilise.  I have $400 from family.

Problem is hotel can't combine, a reasonable 4* or 5* hotel will be price range $200+ to $300+ before tax.

Using $100 voucher still need to top up a lot of cash.

Attraction booking as you said, very mafan.

I used mine for a hotel stay on OC bday, something I would have done anyway.

About three-quarters of adult Singaporeans have not used their SingapoRediscovers vouchers

Quote

Mr Chan was responding to questions about the utilisation rate of the vouchers, whether the ministry will consider extending the deadline and if the redemption method will be reviewed to encourage more people to use them.

“There is no change to the redemption deadline of Jun 30, 2021 for now,” said Mr Chan.

What I know is that you can only use one voucher for a night Hotel Staycation......

Example : 1 night cost $300/- and minus your voucher of $100/-, you have to pay $200/- for the night. Cannot use your wife voucher to offset the $200/- balance cost.

Then if you say for another night, than your wife voucher come in handy.

SingapoRediscovers voucher: Travel firms appreciate it, but some say it has not boosted shrinking revenue

Quote

Rather than generic walking tours of a particular precinct, Oriental Travel & Tours offers themed excursions. Their best-selling tour is Creepy Tales in Singapore, a four-hour-long exploration of “spooky” places such as cemeteries.

During the first few months of the voucher’s launch, Mr Foo said about 95 per cent of his tours were booked with it. Now, about 30 to 40 per cent are paid for in cash — an indication that Singaporeans are willing to pay for local tours after using up their vouchers, he said.
