Overview: Best credit cards for streaming service subscriptions in Singapore

If you’re familiar with merchant category codes (MCCs), streaming service subscriptions tend to fall under the following MCCs:

  • MCC 4899 (Cable, Satellite, and Other Pay Television, and Radio Services)
  • MCC 5815 (Digital Goods – Books, Movies, Music Entertainment & Gaming)

Out of which, TV and movie streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ belong to the former MCC 4899, while music streaming services like Spotify belong to the latter MCC 5815.

That said, below is an overview compilation of all our recommended credit cards for streaming services.

Note: “XX mpd” refers to “XX miles per S$1 spend”.

Best cashback credit cards for streaming service subscriptions

#1 Maybank Family & Friends Card

maybank-family-friends-mastercard

Key benefits
8% cashback on five preferred categories (out of 10)
Cashback capped at S$125 (per calendar month); S$25 per category
Annual fee
S$194.40 (First 3 years waived)
Minimum monthly spend
S$800
Minimum income requirement
Singaporeans & PRs: S$30,000
Foreigners: S$80,000
Minimum age
21

The Maybank Family & Friends Card is one of the top-earning cashback cards out there – rewarding cardholders with 8% cashback on five preferred categories, out of ten. These categories include:

  • Groceries
  • Dining & food delivery
  • Transport
  • Data communication & online TV streaming
  • Retail & pets
  • Online fashion
  • Entertainment
  • Pharmacy
  • Sports & sports apparel
  • Beauty & wellness

As one of the available categories is “Data Communication & Online TV Streaming”, this means that your TV and movie streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ are eligible for cashback if you pay their recurring monthly subscriptions with this card.

You’ll need to meet its minimum monthly spend requirement of S$800 and its cashback is capped at S$125 per calendar month. This cap is further broken down to S$25 per category.

To our knowledge, Spotify isn’t qualified for cashback because its merchant category (MCC 5815) isn’t listed as an eligible merchant under the card’s T&Cs. Only MCC 4899 for cable, satellite, and other pay TV services such as Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions are counted.

Otherwise, all other eligible spend is subjected to only 0.3% cashback.

Maybank Credit Card Welcome Gift: Receive a pair of American Tourister Linex 66/24 Luggage TSA (worth S$336) or an Apple AirPods 3rd Gen with Lightning Charging Case (worth S$261.40) or S$200 cash credit when you apply for a new Maybank credit card and CreditAble account, and make a min. spend of S$600 per month for 2 consecutive months from card approval date. T&Cs apply.

 


#2 UOB EVOL Card

uob-evol-1024x644

Key benefits
8% cashback on online and mobile contactless spend
Cashback capped at S$60 (per statement month); S$20 per category
Annual fee
NIL with 3 min. eligible transactions per month
Minimum monthly spend
S$600
Minimum income requirement
Singaporeans & PRs: S$30,000
Foreigners: S$80,000
Minimum age
21

Another alternative cashback card to consider is the UOB EVOL Card. Similarly to Maybank Family & Friends, it features a sweet 8% cashback on all eligible online and mobile contactless spend.

On the minimum spend front, you’ll only need to spend S$600 per month as compared to the higher S$800 or S$1,000/S$2,000 requirement imposed by other cards. This 8% cashback is capped at S$60 per statement month, split into S$20 per category.

Note: Online spend and Mobile contactless spend are counted as two separate categories. The last category refers to all other spend.

As far as streaming services are concerned, there is no mention of their MCCs being disqualified as eligible merchants according to UOB EVOL’s T&Cs. This is what leads me to believe that it’s worth trying to pay your recurring streaming subscription bills with the UOB EVOL Card to see if it earns the 8% cashback.

Otherwise, you might still earn 0.3% cashback on them if they’re considered as “all other spend”.  

So although not explicitly stated, we’ll consider it worth a shot to try earning cashback on streaming subscriptions on it.

UOB EVOL Card Welcome Gift: Get an Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (worth S$382) if you are the first 50 new-to-UOB credit cardmember and make a min. spend of S$800 per month for two consecutive months within 60 days from card approval date. Valid till 30 June 2023. T&Cs apply.


#3 HSBC Advance Card

HSBC-Advance-Card-1

Key benefits
Up to 2.5% base cashback:
  • 1.5% cashback with no min. spend
  • 2.5% cashback with min. S$2,000 spend
Earn 1% bonus cashback with an HSBC Everyday Global Account under the HSBC Everyday+ Rewards Programme – brings total cashback to 3.5%
Annual fee
S$194.40 (1st year waived)
Minimum monthly spend
NIL to earn 1.5% base cashback
S$2,000 to earn 2.5% base cashback
Minimum income requirement
Singaporeans & PRs: S$30,000
Foreigners: S$40,000
Minimum age
21

Now, the HSBC Advance Card is a unique combination of a regular cashback and unlimited cashback card. Why? For the very simple fact that it offers both unconditional and conditional cashback.

Up to 2.5% base cashback

In terms of unconditional cashback, you can earn 1.5% base cashback with no minimum spend on the card – which makes it straightforward and easy to spend with like unlimited cashback cards

However, if you want to tier up, that’s where the conditional cashback kicks in. You’ll need to fulfil their S$2,000 minimum monthly spend requirement to attain 2.5% base cashback. 

Note: Regardless of whether you earn 1.5% or 2.5% cashback, the base cashback is capped at S$70 per calendar month.

Up to 3.5% cashback, inclusive of 1% bonus cashback

And after that, if you want to hit their highest 3.5% cashback tier, you’ll need to open an HSBC Everyday Global Account to earn bonus 1% cashback under their HSBC Everyday+ Rewards Programme. This bonus cashback is capped at S$300 or S$500 per month, depending on what kind of HSBC banking customer you are. 

But even then, 3.5% cashback isn’t significantly remarkable when compared to regular cashback credit cards.

However, because the HSBC Advance Card markets itself as a “simple and hassle-free” cashback card, this 3.5% cash rebate does stand out from an unlimited cashback card standpoint (and you’ll see why in our later segment).

Other than that, the HSBC Advance Card is essentially a decent cashback card with a “fail-safe mechanism” where you’re guaranteed cashback regardless of spend amount. If you manage to spend S$2,000 eligible transactions that month, great! You’ll earn 2.5% cashback. Otherwise, you’ll still earn 1.5% cashback. 

In any case, this card doesn’t discriminate much in eligible merchants since all spend is as good as gold so long it doesn’t fall under the typical excluded MCCs. And based on the T&Cs, your Spotify, Netflix, Disney+ and every other streaming subscription in between seems qualified for cashback.

But again, try renewing your subscriptions with the HSBC Advance Card at your own risk.

HSBC Credit Card Welcome Gift: Receive a Samsonite Prestige 69cm Spinner Exp with built-in scale (worth S$670) or S$150 cashback when you make a min. spend of S$1,000 within the qualifying spend period and provide marketing consent during application. Valid till 31 August 2023. T&Cs apply.

Alternatively, receive 20,000 miles when you make a min. spend of S$800 within the first month of card approval and annual fee payment with the HSBC TravelOne Card. Valid till 31 August 2023. T&Cs apply.

As far as unlimited cashback cards go, these types of credit cards are the safest bets when paying for tricky merchants like bills, taxes, fees, and subscription fees. 

Although these cards offer lower rates ranging between 1.5% to 1.7% cashback, they tend to accept otherwise commonly excluded MCCs as eligible merchants. Thus, this allows cardholders to earn some rebate on recurring payments, despite the minimal cashback rate. 

But hey, it’s better than nothing! 🤷🏼‍♀️

#1 Standard Chartered Smart Card

SCB_SMART_CARD-w1920

Key benefits
6% cashback on selected everyday spend categories like fast food restaurants, coffee & toast, digital subscriptions, public transport
 
Up to 7.7 mpd (or 19.2 360° Rewards Points) with SCB X Card or SCB Visa Infinite Card 
Annual fee

Honestly, the Standard Chartered (SCB) Smart Card is one of the MVPs for credit cards catering to subscriptions. Although technically classified as an SCB cashback card, we’ll show you why it’s more useful as a miles credit card instead.

By default, it offers up to 6% cashback on selected everyday spend categories like fast food restaurants, public transport (SimplyGO), and streaming service subscriptions. So far, it has the most robust list of qualifying digital subscriptions such as Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, and Youtube.

The minimum cashback redemption rate is 3,200 360° Rewards Points = S$10.

However, if cashback isn’t your cup of tea, fret not. Stand to earn up to 7.7 mpd (or 19.2 360° Rewards Points) when you convert your points to miles with either the SCB X Card or SCB Visa Infinite Card.

💡Pro-tip: The 19.2 360° Rewards Points is broken down into:
- 1.6 base 360° Rewards Points
- 17.6 bonus 360° Rewards Points


SCB Rewards Points-to-Miles Conversion system

The Standard Chartered miles conversion system is biased towards these two cards where if you pool your points together, you can one-shot convert all your accumulated points at a boosted bonus miles conversion rate of 2,500 360° Rewards Points = 1,000 miles. This amounts to 0.4 mpd.

Thus, your bonus 17.6 360° Rewards Points is worth around 7.4 mpd.

But do note, this boosted point-to-miles conversion only lasts until 31 December 2023. Thus, we really only recommend this method if:

  • You already own either an SCB X Card or SCB Visa Infinite Card, or
  • You intend to use the SCB Smart Card regularly as your daily spend card, or
  • You want to seriously chase after miles and sign up for the SCB X and SCB Visa Infinite Card too.

After all, the SCB X and SCB Visa Infinite Cards are considered higher-tier miles cards with heftier annual fees. 

SCB_APPLEXIAOMI_BLOGARTICLE-3

SingSaver Exclusive Offer: Get a pair of Apple AirPods Pro Gen 2 (worth S$362.35) or a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10 (worth S$379) or S$300 upsized cash via PayNow when you activate and make a min. spend of S$500 within 30 days of card approval. Valid till 11 June 2023. T&Cs apply.

Plus, get additional $20 Bonus Cash when you put your card-on-file and spend at least $20 on select merchants within 30 days of Card approval.

#2 Citi Rewards Card

CitiRewardsMC

Key benefits
Up to 10X Rewards Points / 4 mpd / 2.27% cashback on eligible shopping and online spend, online food delivery, online groceries, and ride-hailing apps Grab and Gojek
Annual fee
S$194.40 (1st year waived)
Minimum monthly spend
NIL
Minimum income requirement
Singaporeans & PRs: S$30,000
Foreigners: S$42,000
Minimum age
21

As a staple in the miles game, we’re including the Citi Rewards Card as a possible option to earn miles on streaming service subscriptions here.

You can earn up to 10X Rewards Points (or 4 mpd) on eligible online purchases with no minimum spend. That said, its boosted miles rate is only valid on up to S$1,000 spend per statement month. After which, its earn rate on online spend will revert to the base 1X Reward Point per dollar – the same as its earn rate on all other retail spend.

Since the Citi Rewards Card follows a blacklist approach to merchant exclusions, MCCs 4899 and 5815 aren’t explicitly excluded from its T&Cs. The only confirmed exclusions for online retail merchants are “mobile wallets and travel-related transactions”. 

However, there might still be a risk that Citibank decides to list these MCCs as excluded merchants.

You can check out other Citibank’s MCC exclusions here.

#3 UOB PRVI Miles Card

Key benefits
3.5X UNI$ per S$5 spend (1.4 mpd) on local spend
 
2.5X UNI$ per S$5 (1 mpd) spend on monthly bills, rent, taxes, and one-time big-ticket purchases
Annual fee

Minimum monthly spend
NIL
Minimum income requirement
Singaporeans & PRs: S$30,000
Foreigners: S$40,000
Minimum age
21

The UOB PRVI Miles Card is a rather unexpected miles card on this list because it’s better known for its stellar rates on overseas spend (2.4 mpd) and travel-related expenses (6 mpd) like major airline and hotel bookings made on Agoda, Expedia, and UOB Travel. 

Nonetheless, we’re including this card on the list because it still rewards 3.5X UNI$ per S$5 (1.4 mpd) on local spend. And like all the aforementioned cards, MCCs 4899 and 5815 aren’t explicitly excluded from its T&Cs; so there’s a chance that your streaming service subscriptions might still earn some miles.

💡Pro-tip: On a related note, other recurring bill payments from providers like Starhub are eligible for UOB’s Bill Payment Service. This service allows you to earn 2.5X UNI$ per S$5 spend (or 1 mpd) on bills, rent, taxes, and even one-off big-ticket purchases.
