OCBC NXT

🔥

No current promo; apply for one of the other OCBC Cards first.

It’s a buy-now-pay-later card, and I found some uses for it.

See more promos on sethisfy.com/cards.

1.75% fee for tax payments on ipaymy

Use promo code TAX2020 for a reduced fee of 1.75% instead of 2.25% when paying your tax to IRAS.

If you’re a new user to ipaymy, I would suggest using code sethisfy to get a 1.89% fee for your first payment for other things - upcoming insurance premiums or condo maintenance fees perhaps - before using TAX2020 to maximise your savings. sethisfy is only for first-time users so you won’t be able to use it if you have made your first payment with TAX2020.

DBS promos

If you have DBS cards, you can register for some ongoing promos found on the DBS Lifestyle app. The promotions are slightly different for each person.

Currently, I have one which gives $80 for $3,000 spend (2.67% cashback), and another that offers 8% cashback or vouchers for $1,200 of online spend. Both promotions stack, which comes in really handy for me since I have some big purchases coming up.
