Offline, in-person only (in-app spend will not count!)

Take note that only spend done in person will count, so online transactions will neither earn 5 miles per dollar nor count towards the S$1,500 minimum spend.

Wallet apps like Alipay or WeChat Pay or restaurants where you pay in-browser should be avoided as these are online transactions. This does mean that the promo will have limited utility in countries like China where payment apps are the most ubiquitous mode of payment.

Amaze is definitely out of the question too, converting your foreign spend to local SGD payments that also code as online transactions.
