Feeling lazy on a hot Sunday afternoon? Food delivery is the way to go! Maximise the rewards you can earn with these best credit cards for GrabFood, Foodpanda and Deliveroo.

Best for FoodPanda: POSB Everyday Card | UOB Lady’s Card
Best for Deliveroo: Citi Rewards | Maybank Friends & Family Card

There are those days when the sun is too inhumanely hot to dabao food, or days that are filled with back-to-back meetings that walking to the nearest kopitiam for your lunch is simply not possible.

That’s when food delivery becomes your saving grace if you’d rather pay a little more for the premium prices and delivery fees instead of cooking up a bowl of MSG-filled instant noodles. (But, if you do run out of said noodles, make sure to have the best grocery credit cards with you to maximise rewards of your purchases. 😉)

Are you bogged down by the high prices? Don't worry; these dining credit cards can help you earn miles as you spend or offset your purchases with cashback. Find out which credit cards are most effective for each food delivery merchant — GrabFood, Foodpanda and Deliveroo.

For miles: UOB Lady’s Card / UOB Lady’s Solitaire Card

uob-ladys-card-1uob-ladys-solitaire-card

The UOB Lady’s and UOB Lady’s Solitaire Cards have been all the hype lately, and for good reason. [Update!] Recently, UOB announced that they will have increased their miles rate from 10X UNI$ per S$5 (4mpd) to 25X UNI$ per S$5 (10 mpd) on the category(ies) that you choose when you pair your card with a UOB Lady's Savings Account.

All other spend earns the base 1X UNI$ per S$5 (2 mpd). You’ll also earn the base rate once you hit the bonus rate spend cap.

UOB Lady’s Card — able to choose 1 category per quarter and has a bonus rate spend cap of S$1,000 per month

UOB Lady’s Solitaire Card — able to choose 2 categories per quarter and has a bonus rate spend cap of S$2,000 per month

Here are the categories offered for these cards:

  • Beauty and Wellness — cosmetic stores, drug stores, health and beauty stores
  • Fashion — department stores, retail stores and shopping websites that sell clothes, shoes and bags as its main business activity
  • Dining — restaurants, fast food restaurants and online food delivery 
  • Family — grocery stores and baby & kids stores
  • Travel — airlines, hotels & resorts bookings and duty-free stores
  • Transport — fuel stations, taxi rides and local commuter transport
  • Entertainment — bars, taverns, lounges, cinemas and ticketing servicing providers

Do note that these cards earn you miles in blocks of S$5 per transaction, meaning if you spend S$4.99 you won’t be able to earn any miles on that transaction.

Worth mentioning: Citi Rewards

CitiRewardsMC

Citi Rewards is another notable miles card worth mentioning when you order food delivery. It earns you 10X Rewards per S$1 spend (4mpd) on online and shopping purchases, rides with Grab, Gojek and more, online food delivery and on online groceries — basically all online transactions.

This is how you earn miles:

  • 1X Base Rewards Point (0.4 mpd)
  • 9X Bonus Rewards Points (3.6 mpd)

💡Pro-tip: Pair your Citi Rewards card with the Instarem amaze Card which automatically converts all spending to online spending.

This makes it a great card for overseas spend too as the Instarem Amaze card doesn’t charge you any foreign currency fees and allows you to earn an extra 1 InstaPoint per S$1 (worth 1% cashback) in foreign currency transactions.

The card, however, does have a spending cap bonus rate of S$1,000 per month. Any spending over that earns you a base miles rate of 1X Reward per S$1 spend (0.4 mpd).
