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 36x yuu points. 

Here’s a breakdown of how you can earn the most yuu points: 

Category
yuu Point 
Point Multiplier
Base Points
All retail spend: 1 yuu Point = S$1
Participating yuu merchants: 4x yuu points
1 x S$10 = 10 yuu Points
4 x S$10 = 40 yuu Points
(Bonus) Partner Offers
Selected partner products: 3x yuu Points (2x bonus + 1x base rate)
(3 - 1) x 10 = 20 yuu Points 
(Bonus) Bank Cards
DBS yuu Credit Card: Up to 36x yuu Points
PAssion POSB Debit Card: Up to 16x yuu Points
(36 - 3) x 10 = 330 yuu Points
(16 - 3) x 10 = 130 yuu Points
Maximum yuu Points earned
DBS yuu Credit Card: Up to 30x yuu Points
10 + 20 + 270 = 300 yuu Points
 
PAssion POSB Debit Card: Up to 16x yuu Points
