bellboy 4th Gear June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 (edited) SINGAPORE - A message making the rounds in WhatsApp about senior citizens being eligible for a $50 public transport voucher if they go to an SMRT office today is inaccurate. A check with the Ministry of Health today revealed that although there is such an SG50 Seniors offer for senior citizens, the redemption period starts only on Monday, Jun 15, and eligible seniors will have received a redemption letter by that date. The message being circulated on WhatsApp said to "inform anyone above the age of 60years old (sic) that today if they go to any of the SMRT Offices, they can top up $50 for free, its a SG50 promotion" (sic). - See more at: http://digital.asiaone.com/digital/news/whatsapp-message-about-free-50-transport-credit-seniors-today-inaccurate#sthash.0VN8luzr.dpuf Edited June 12, 2015 by bellboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic2000 Supercharged June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 Paiseh. My bad. Just saw Got $50 voucher But need redemption letter. Apologies You need not to apologies. It can be done at the Transit link Add Value Machine (AVM) - The machine is purple in color. Don't even need to bring along the so call $50 Transport Voucher. Just place the Senior Citizen Concession Card on the card reader, select the "SG50 Voucher Redemption" and follow the instructions on the screen. My friend had done it this morning. (See the attached receipt). He told me there was a long Q at the Transit Link Ticketing office this morning, but he did it at the AVM. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingenius Turbocharged June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 How long can $50 last ? Should be at least $500. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 It means every senior citizen will get this? But must have redemption letter? Or only selective senior citizen will get this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic2000 Supercharged June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 All senior citizen (aged 60 & above) will be given a $50 Transport Voucher together with a Kopitiam Card (In white colour), known as iCard (愛). The letter signed by Lui Tuck Yew, also serves as a Transport Voucher. The senior citizen may redeem the voucher from 15 Jun to 31st Dec 2015 as stated in the letter. However, if the senior citizen has a Senior Citizen Concession Card issued by Transit Link, he or she can go to the the Transit Link's Add Value Machine (AVM) to top up his/her card. There is no need to bring along the letter/Transport Voucher. The iCard entitle the Senior to 30% off food & drinks at certain Kopitiam outlets for 10 purchases. Thereafter, this card can continue to be used just like any Kopitiam card that give you 10% discount. The iCard comes with zero value, it has to be topped up before making any purchases. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcf777 Turbocharged June 12, 2015 Share June 12, 2015 (edited) I find this KPT card (white colour) damn silly. Want to give, pls give with big heart. Not restrict the usage of the card. Really WTF They ONLY allow 30% discount for SG50card holders at Changi Airport T3 stalls (any of the stalls u get 30% discount). Restrict to maximum 500 transacation (I think so, if I read correctly) The rest of the KPT outlets only allow 30% discount at the coffee/tea stall. Food stall only the standard 10% discount.
