DCS Card Welcome Promo: Get 20 or 24-inch GOTRIP Suitcase
After a long hiatus, DCS is once again offering a sign-up promo for a few of its credit cards – get a 20-inch or 24-inch GOTRIP suitcase when you apply for eligible DCS cards below, and meet the required minimum spend within 30 days from card approval.
New cardholders who make a minimum spend of S$500 will receive the 20-inch suitcase, while those who meet at least of S$800 of spend will receive the 24-inch version.
Promo Details
Note that new DCS customers are defined in the terms and conditions as those who have no existing DCS cards and are making their first application. This seems to preclude those who have cancelled their cards more than 12 months ago, the usual cooldown period for customers to be considered new cardholders again. I’m getting confirmation on this. and will update this article when I receive the info.
Eligible cardholders will receive one gift based on the minimum spend they make:
| Min Spend | Gift |
|---|---|
| S$500 | 20-inch GOTRIP Luggage Bag |
| S$800 | 24-inch GOTRIP Luggage Bag |
Which card to pick?
The two DCS cards eligible for this promo are DCS Flex and DCS Ultimate Platinum (either Mastercard or UnionPay versions), and both are pretty good cashback cards depending on your use case.
DCS Flex is a pretty lacklustre miles card, but it is now one of the better cashback cards with 6% to 7.04% effective cashback. Its S$600 minimum spend requirement is also relatively low compared to other cards around this earn rate. Getting the card’s higher cashback rates requires a good split between its online and contactless payment (or overseas category), but even if you spent all S$600 in a single category, you can expect about 4.16% cashback which is not too bad.
For something really simple, DCS Ultimate Platinum is a fuss-free 2% cashback with no minimum spend or category requirements. This is the one of the highest cashback rates you can get without a monthly minimum spend.
You can compare and apply for the cards below:
What to spend on?
You need to meet the minimum spend to qualify for rewards. Do note that there are transactions which are excluded. Read the terms and conditions carefully when applying.
Generally, retail transactions like buying stuff or dining out are very safe. Things like bill payments, education expenses and CardUp or ipaymy become a lot iffier and depends on the bank your card is from.
