You can use citibank dividend plat card, which gives you a 5% discount on petrol from any station. You can combine that with your smiles card or whatever other discounts the petrol company actually gives you.

Not sure if there are better ones out there.

Different cards have different beneifts.

Here are my few recommendations:

1) POSB - Earns you points from Carrefour, Starhub, Singapore Petroleum Company, Singapore Power etc. Sometimes, I get free items from Carrefour because I have simply accumulated too many points from paying my Utilities Bill and Singapore Petroluem Company Petrol bills using my POSB card.

2) UOB - UOB offers the best returns in terms of earned points and the rewards are generally very generous.

3) Maybank offers FREE entry to Sentosa and will for quite regularly, offers FREE Spa vouchers for ladies.

That;s my take. Hope it helps. :-)

Anyone with Amex Platinum card has successfully requested for the CSO to waive the annual fee? $300/p.a is too much.

I'll go have a look, although I haven't heard much about it. DBS has this new Live Fresh Plat card now. Makes me think of Live and Fresh seafood.

UOB one card is not bad is you prefer cash rebate.
Within 3month you accumulate 800 spending.. you will get 80 cash rebate while 3mth can get 30.
But note is only for this two limit you then can get the rebate. Not as if you spend 500 you get 50. you will still get 30 =) Hope that's help.

If you often go shopping .. UOB lady card might be a good choice. They are often seen having alot of promotion.

i thing the POSB everyday card is only good if you did go for those listed shops that provide rebate

Love watching movie HSBC will be a good one for my opinion. i would suggest keeping a UOB and HSBC will be good enough.

It's 800 every month for 3 months tho. Or 300 every month for 3 months. And you've got to know when they start counting the 1st of 3 months. And it's really difficult to keep track (at least for me) of what you've spent on the card so far. Best would be to use it only for regular purchases which goes just over $300 per month.

I use it for my mum's regular salon appointments which invariably cost just over $350 a month. Nothing else lol.
