Pros & cons
Pros |
Cons |
Eligible purchases are automatically split into interest-free instalments — 3 months for spend between $100 and $1,000, and 6 months for spend above $1,000. This helps users manage cash flow without worrying about additional interest charges. |
If you do not meet the minimum monthly spend of $800, your cashback rate drops to only 0.5% on all spend. |
Unlike some cards where you need to manually select cashback categories, the OCBC NXT Credit Card automatically categorises your spend. As long as you hit the minimum spend, you enjoy elevated cashback on dining, groceries, transport, fuel, and online travel. |
The cashback cap for each category limits the total amount of cashback you can earn monthly, which may restrict those who spend heavily across multiple categories. |
Cardholders enjoy a waiver of the $163.50 annual fee in the first 2 years, making it easy to try the card with no upfront cost. |
Payments like Grab, Gojek, taxi services, government services, insurance, and utilities are excluded from cashback. |
Who is this card for
The OCBC NXT Credit Card is ideal for budget-conscious spenders who can consistently hit the $800 monthly spend across groceries, fuel, and dining to maximise cashback. Families and working adults with regular household bills and essential expenses will also find great value, thanks to the card’s generous cashback structure. Drivers in Singapore can benefit from 5% cashback on fuel, along with extra savings at petrol stations. Lastly, the card suits home-based spenders who mainly make local purchases and prefer cashback over air miles or travel rewards.
