Travelling Again This June Holiday? Don’t Miss Out on the Best Travel Promotions with selected Credit Cards in Singapore!

Bags? Checked. Passport? Checked. Thank god we don’t need to wait for six weeks. Credit Cards? Hmm, which credit card should we use to get the best travel perks?

Everybody is excited to travel; in fact, we are so eager to travel overseas that ICA has received 7,000 passport applications a day, with some days climbing as high as 14,000 in May 2022 alone. Travel volumes are also anticipated to soar next month as the June school holidays are coming soon, and parents want to bring their kids out of Singapore for a vacation after being trapped here for two years.

So how do we prepare for take-off and optimise our rewards? Well, sit back, relax and enjoy the journey as we check out the best travel promotions when you sign up for selected credit cards.

Want to Stay Connected While You Are Abroad? We Got You Covered.

Some of you would frequently be travelling, either for leisure or business purposes. Let’s say you want to stay connected to the Internet to check your work emails anywhere in the world or post the latest social media post and holiday #OOTD to share with your friends. Back then, you would try looking for WiFi available in the surrounding area you are in, or you buy a prepaid card that could be expensive and a hassle to switch out with your primary Singapore SIM Card.

With YogoFi, those options are a thing of the past! YogoFi provides on-the-go Mobile Broadband Data anywhere in the world. It has Instant Connectivity, 4G LTE, and no contract! The best part of all? If you are a frequent traveller (and yes, even going to JB is frequent travelling), YogoFi offers a plan that provides 50GB of data for only $10 a month that you can cancel anytime!

If you are a UOB Credit Card Holder, YogiFi has partnered with UOB Travels to provide you with FREE 3GB if you sign up for the 50GB plan for only $10/month.

And if you are a UOB ONE Card Holder, you can enjoy an additional up to 6.67% cashback on this promotion!

We all need accommodations whenever we are overseas. However, sometimes hotels can be costly to book and check-in. What if we told you that it does not need to be? Expedia provides a 9% OFF hotel worldwide for Citi PremierMiles Mastercard Holders until 31 December 2022 and SGD15 OFF for "Flight + Hotel" Combination Packages!

Plus, if you have any Citibank Credit Card, you can get 18% OFF SG and hotels worldwide and an extra 20% OFF SG and HK destinations on top of existing deals for Citibank Credit Cardmembers in collaboration with Agoda until 31 May 2022.

Want to Rent a Vehicle? We… Well, you get the point.

We want to travel out and see the world freely without being restricted to one city. Sometimes, we want to go on a road trip, which is not something we can experience in Singapore since there’s not much to go here.

Therefore, if you want to travel efficiently and freely to different places worldwide and be engrossed in your wanderlust, you might want to rent a vehicle.

Suppose you have an American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Credit Card. You can enjoy exclusive deals and benefits at over 8,500 participating locations across 150 countries worldwide with the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® loyalty programme, such as

  • 10% savings on published rates, including the Hertz collection.
  • One car class upgrade (applicable to standard vehicles only and rentals of five or more consecutive days), subject to availability.
  • Fee-waived additional driver.

But wait there’s more!

You can earn 5,000 KrisFlyer miles the very first time as a welcome bonus when you charge your card if you apply for the American Express Singapore Airlines Credit Card for the first time.

And you can enjoy the benefits of the following spend bonuses if you apply and receive approval between 1 April 2022 until 30 June 2022 (both dates inclusive):

  • Up to 5,000 KrisFlyer miles with a minimum spending of S$1,000 in the first 2 months of Card Membership.
  • An additional complimentary one-night stay at Hilton Singapore Orchard (worth up to S$418++) for new American Express Users. E- arn 1,100 KrisFlyer miles based on the S$1,000 spending above (based on 1.1 KrisFlyer miles per S$1 spent locally).

Not just that, but you can receive a S$150 Cashback for use on your next purchase on the Singapore Airlines website when you spend S$12,000 on eligible purchases with your Card between 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

And with American Express Live The World programme, you can enjoy savings at a wide myriad of dining, shopping, and travel merchants worldwide.
