1,000 Points to Top Up Your Grab Using PayNow? Here Are Some Better Alternatives
Another sound of the death knell for credit card rewards for topping up Grab, I’m guessing, as Grab is starting to market rewards for topping up via PayNow:
My advice? Don’t bother. 1,000 GrabRewards Points are worth $2, and at $300 for 1,000 points, that’s a mere 0.67% rebate. Funnily enough, your best yield is topping up $100 to get 400 points, which is a 0.8% rebate on $100…
Here’s what you’ll get if you topped up $300 using cards that still gave you a proper earn rate on cashback or miles:
| Card | Earn Rate | Rewards Received |
| Spree | 2% | $6 |
| Amex True Cashback | 1.5% | $4.50 |
| DBS Altitude | 1.2 mpd | 360 miles |
| CitiRewards Visa | 4 mpd | 1200 miles |
Of course, these are “while stocks last”, and we all await with bated breath whether these rewards would continue. Speaking of which, I just topped up $2,000 into my Grab account with UOB One for the last time for 10% cashback. I’m going to miss this earn rate.
