So, you’re convinced about the great rewards and points the DBS yuu card has to offer. Between the Visa and AMEX version, which card should you sign up for?
Temasek tech venture minden.ai has partnered up with DFI Retail Group and DBS bank to launch a new credit card: the DBS yuu Card.
What is the DBS yuu card?
The new co-branded credit card, which works hand in hand with the yuu app, can be used to earn rewards points to be redeemed across a wide variety of merchants.
These include vouchers at popular household brands like BreadTalk, Toast Box, Food Junction, Mandai Wildlife Reserve and many more.
You can learn all about the yuu app and rewards system here.
DBS yuu card points — get the most points out of your purchases when you pair the yuu app with the yuu credit card
Here’s how the DBS yuu card works together with the app.
Basically, you will only earn a base rate of one to four yuu points if you solely use the app.
But if you pair the app with the card, you’ll get up to extra 30x yuu points.
