Originally ending on 19th January 2024, DBS has extended the popular 5 MillIon Hawker Meals promo by 6 months. 26th July 2024 will now be the last Friday to enjoy up to S$3 instant cashback when you use DBS PayLah to pay for your hawker meals.
As usual, it’s limited to the first 100,000 users each Friday (6AM onwards), and payment must be made to eligible hawker stalls. Note that not all places that accept PayLah will qualify, so tap here for a list of eligible hawker stalls.
You don’t need to be a DBS or POSB bank accountholder to enjoy this promo, though you obviously do need to have DBS PayLah. If you somehow don’t have an account yet, download the app on your smartphone and sign up with code SETDRK854 to get S$5!
100% cashback capped at S$3 each Friday
Assuming you pay to an eligible stall and the 100,000 spots have not run out yet, you will get 100% cashback in a single transaction capped at S$3. For example, a S$4.50 chicken rice will get you S$3 of cashback while a S$2 snack will get S$2 of cashback.
The 100,000 spots are finishing earlier and earlier since the first few weeks it started. I remember being able to enjoy the cashback for dinner when it was still a new promo. Recently, however, the cashback tends to run out at around 8.50AM these days according to a veteran PayLah user (my mum).
Other ways to pay for hawker food
Outside of the DBS promo, XNAP is a great way to pay for your hawker food since it’s commonly accepted and can get you your card rewards.
More promos and sign-up goodies
At the same time, you will find in your PayLah app a Chinese New Year promo that will give you S$88 of cashback when you meet your designated spend amount. Check your app for your target amount and you will need to register before all the slots are fully taken up.
Also, DBS’s sign up promos have been heating up in recent months – get S$388 cashback with DBS LiveFresh or POSB Everyday cards and up to 37,000 miles for DBS Altitude!
