What is the SingSaver Rewards Upgrade Campaign?

For those acquainted with applying for credit cards through us, you know how simple it is to secure your desired credit cards and rewards. Often, it's just a matter of filling out our Rewards Redemption Form, meeting specified criteria, and before you know it, your gift is en route to you.

However, this May, prepare yourselves for even bigger and better rewards!

From now till 2 June 2024, upsize your credit card welcome gifts by following these steps:

  1. Apply for select Citi and HSBC credit cards in this article or via our website
  2. Complete the SingSaver Rewards Redemption Form sent to your registered email address (within 14 days of card application)
  3. SingSaver Rewards Upgrade: Select "Reward Upgrade" option > Top up $XXX amount to receive more gifts 
  4. Fulfil other specified requirements (e.g. meet qualifying spend, pay annual fee, etc.)
  5. Wait for your initial sign-up gift & upgraded gift to arrive!

By simply opting for "Reward Upgrade" on our Rewards Redemption Form and topping up a select amount, you stand to receive upsized rewards like never seen before!

Essentially, you'll be receiving two rewards – the initial sign-up gift & the upgraded gift – by applying for a credit card and topping up a little bit of extra cash!

However, what upgraded rewards are we talking about here exactly? 🤔 Well, depending on whether you apply for a Citi or HSBC credit card, your options will differ accordingly.

Note: Only new-to-bank credit cardholders will be eligible for these gift upgrade options.
