It’s Christmas and the last week of 2024, and among your year-end festivities don’t forget to pick up these 2 generous sign-up deals ending soon!

Ending 2nd January: HSBC cards – get S$400 or gadget of choice!
Apply for one of the below HSBC credit cards as a new cardholder and get a choice between things like cash, eCapitaVouchers, and gadgets of your choice.
My personal pick would be getting the HSBC Live+ which has had its generous 8% promotional earn rate extended to 31st March 2025. If you want the Dyson devices or Flujo standing desks, those are easy picks since they retail for much higher than S$400.
Otherwise, pick the S$199 cash + S$200 eCapitaVoucher bundle! S$400 eCapitaVoucher is really good, but it’s hard to argue against cash. Make sure you fill up the SingSaver Rewards Redemption Form (found in your email) to choose your gift or you will not get sign-up rewards for your application.

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.
