Are DBS Points just for miles?
As many people know, DBS Points can be transferred to airline miles, specifically options like Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer programme and Cathay Pacific’s Asia Miles programme. Transferring your points to miles can let you get luxurious travel experiences via business class flights for a lot less than paying for the pricey tickets, and it’s something that everyone should try out at least once or twice.
However, DBS Points have a lot more uses than just being converted into miles. If you have no plans to travel or are tired of the hassle of playing the miles game, DBS Points can unlock a myriad of rewards, some which could be more suitable for you than miles redemption!
Browse DBS Rewards on DBS PayLah! app
To access the redemptions your DBS Points can access, all you have to do is to launch your DBS PayLah! app, go to Rewards, and find the Redeem tab. From here, you can browse through the different options available for your DBS Points.

1. Convert your DBS Points to cash
DBS Points can be converted to cash and credited to your credit card directly. This means that you can spend on just about anything you want with your DBS Credit Card and have your DBS Points settle the bill for you. This starts from 2,000 DBS Points for S$20 to a promotional rate of 100,000 DBS Points for S$2,200 of cash rebates.
| Cash Credit Denomination | Points Required |
|---|---|
| S$2,200 | 100,000 DBS Points (Usual: 176,000) |
| S$1,300 | 60,000 DBS Points (Usual: 104,000) |
| S$500 | 40,000 DBS Points (Usual: 50,000) |
| S$220 (usual S$200) | 20,000 DBS Points |
| S$20 | 2,000 DBS Points |
With this option, you have the flexibility of spending on whatever you prefer or to use as a nice contingency if a sudden unexpected cashflow issue crops up. Moreover, if you are unable to secure your preferred flights through miles redemption, you can simply redeem for cash to purchase your flight tickets directly.
You can find these options in the Cash category within the rewards catalogue.
2. Get more with curated lifestyle vouchers!
To get more value from your points compared to cash rebates, you can also opt for discounted vouchers at various shopping and retail places. Until 14th October 2025, DBS is offering promotional rates for some popular vouchers until including:
| Voucher | Points Required |
|---|---|
| S$500 eCapitaVoucher | 25,000 DBS Points (Usual: 46,000) |
| S$500 Best Denki Voucher | 25,000 DBS Points (Usual: 46,000) |
| S$1,000 Cornerstone Wines Voucher | 50,000 DBS Points (Usual: 92,000 DBS Points) |
| S$1,000 DBS Apple Rewards Store e-Voucher | 50,000 DBS Points (Usual: 92,000 DBS Points) |
You can find these redemptions under the Shop category, alongside other retailers that you may be interested in.
3. Redeem the new Rewards Flexi eVoucher and pay at 40,000 acceptance points
DBS has also launched a new Rewards Flexi eVoucher for DBS/POSB Cardmembers to redeem their DBS Points or POSB Daily$. These vouchers can be used at 40,000 SGQR acceptance points with NETS QR logo, those that you commonly see at hawker stalls and heartland shops.
Such merchants usually don’t accept credit cards, but this isn’t an issue because you would be able to use your Rewards Flexi eVoucher as long as they have SGQR labels with NETS QR logo.
The usual conversion ratio is 1 DBS Point for 1 cent, but till 30th September 2025, DBS is celebrating SG60 by offering a bonus S$60 cashback when cardmembers redeem 6,000 DBS Points for S$60. This means they will get S$120 for 6,000 DBS Points redemption during the promotional period.
| Rewards Flexi eVoucher | Points Required |
|---|---|
| S$60 + bonus S$60 cashback | 6,000 DBS Points |
Whether it’s champagne in the air or daily expenses on the ground, you can use DBS Points
Your DBS Points give you ways to stretch your budget — from offsetting bills to grabbing discounted shopping vouchers or even covering your next hawker centre meal. They may not beat the thrill of a business class seat, but it’s good to know your DBS Points bring you far more than miles.
Check out the DBS PayLah! app Rewards tab to find more things that your DBS Points can get you.

stop writing shitty articles like this. you are treating your readers like shit when you do this. these are horrible exchange rates.
If you don’t want or don’t have enough for miles, then you should prioritise promotional redemptions which are better than normal redemption or letting them expire.
