Why should you choose the DBS Woman’s World Card?
So far, the card benefits for DBS Woman World are looking great — offering generous 10X DBS Rewards Points (or 20 miles) to spur every shopaholic's shopping addiction! Talk about enabling!
#1 Earn rewards points on online and overseas shopping at a faster rate
If you can't stand shopping at malls, this card gives is not stingy on points for your online purchases. You can do all your shopping with a click of a few buttons from the comfort of your home, and immediately earn up to 10X DBS Points (or 20 miles) for your receipt.
But that's not all. You'll be very incentivised to shop overseas too, given that you'll earn up to 3X DBS Points (or 6 miles) with your foreign receipt too!
So whether you're in Singapore or across the border, your shopping will be rewarded everywhere you go!
#2 Affordable repayments for large purchases
We always encourage people to pay credit card bills promptly and to never carry over a balance. Credit cards have high interest rates, and it’s very easy for debt to snowball because the interest compounds daily.
But let’s say your laptop breaks down beyond repair and you don’t have the cash for a new one. Or you need furniture for your new flat but can’t afford to buy a bed and sofa at the same time.
The DBS Woman’s World Card is great for that sort of thing because of the 0% interest repayment for three months on retail items.
So even if you can’t make the full payment of your purchases by the due date, you don’t have to worry about getting charged interest for the next three months.
Take note that this does not cover Cash Advances, Balance Transfer, or payments made via iBanking. This also isn’t an excuse to skip payments — you need to keep paying the amount in your statement on the due date!

#4 Easy enough to qualify

Other T&Cs to consider
You only earn up to 10 DBS Points on the first S$2,000 spent online per month.
Earning 10X rewards points on your digital purchases isn’t a straightforward process.
Basically, you get 1 DBS Point for every S$5 spent online a day after the transaction was made. The additional 7X or 9X DBS Points get awarded in the next calendar month.
Also, these extra DBS Points only apply to the first S$2,000 online spend every month.
It would be great if there were no limit to the points you can earn. On the bright side, at least you’re not encouraged to spend a ridiculous amount just to chase rewards.
Only 1X DBS Point for every $5 spent in real life
If you prefer to shop at malls, you’re going to be disappointed by the earn rate. For all other retail purchases outside of online and overseas shopping, you only get 1 DBS Point for every $5 spent.
0% interest only applies to a maximum of 10 retail transactions.
Think carefully before you use this feature. You can only take advantage of this perk with a minimum purchase of S$1,500, and it only applies to a maximum of 10 purchases. Also, you don’t earn points on purchases with deferred payments.
DBS Points expire in a year.
Any DBS Points you earn within the first year of getting your DBS Woman’s World Card should be redeemed within 12 months. After that, your points expire and drops to zero.
What DBS rewards can you redeem?
Here’s an idea of what you can get with the DBS Points you can earn in a month, assuming you spend heavily on online retail. Remember, you have 12 months to collect and spend your DBS Points. Save them for something really good, but they’ll expire if you wait too long.

Should you get the DBS Woman’s World Card?
So does the DBS Woman’s World Card really give what women want? Well, that depends on what kind of woman you are.
If you’re the kind of woman who spends several hundred dollars every month on online stores, the DBS Woman’s World Card is worth looking into. With a decent earn rate for every S$5 spent, and a variety of vouchers to redeem your points with, this card can help you save while you splurge.
If you’re the kind of woman who foresees making several large purchases in the future, and would like to spread payments across 3 months, definitely get the DBS Woman’s World Card.
But if you’re the kind of woman who prefers shopping at malls or department stores, the DBS Woman’s World Card just doesn’t give enough rewards.
Citi Rewards Card
You can consider trying the Citi Rewards Card instead, which gives 10X Rewards Points (or 4 miles) per S$1 spent on online and shopping spend, private hire rides like Gojek and Grab, online grocery and online food delivery, and more.
