Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Versatile for everyday spending: Excellent for earning rewards on both overseas and local everyday expenses.
  • Generous welcome bonus: New cardholders can earn up to 30,000 bonus miles upon signing up if they pay the annual fee for the first year.
  • Travel protection included: Comes with travel insurance coverage of up to $500,000, plus potential discounts.
  • No special travel booking bonuses: Doesn't offer bonus miles for bookings made through travel websites.
  • Conditions for welcome bonuses apply: Specific requirements need to be met to qualify for the full welcome bonus miles.
  • Spending caps for bonus miles: Bonus rewards points or miles for transport, online groceries, and food delivery are capped at a $1,000 spend per statement month for each category, with a maximum monthly bonus of 3,000 miles (credited as 7,500 Rewards Points).

Who is this card for

The Standard Chartered Journey Credit Card is ideal for those who want to earn more miles from local online transactions in everyday expenses, such as transport, food delivery, and groceries. New customers enjoy a welcome bonus of up to 30,000 miles if they choose to pay the annual fee for the first year instead of opting for the waiver, and it comes with complimentary travel insurance coverage of up to $500,000. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a card that effectively balances daily spending with travel rewards.

Compare to other cards

The Standard Chartered Journey Credit Card offers a well-rounded value proposition with its uncapped mile-earning potential and an attractive 3 miles per dollar on everyday online transactions across transport, food delivery, and groceries, making it a versatile choice for both travel and everyday spend. However, its higher minimum income requirement for foreigners ($90,000) might be a barrier for some, and the bonus 3 mpd is capped at a total spend of $1,000 per month across the eligible categories.

The Citi PremierMiles Card appeals with its promotional earn rates and the significant advantage of having miles that never expire, catering to those who prefer to accumulate miles over the long term. However, it lacks the high everyday spending bonus of the Journey card, and the base earn rate of 1.2 mpd on local spend may not suit those who don't often spend on foreign currency or use online travel booking sites such as Kaligo or Agoda.

The KrisFlyer UOB Card is ideal for frequent flyers of Singapore Airlines, offering 3 miles per dollar on SIA-related and everyday spending with no bonus miles cap, alongside pathways to accelerate KrisFlyer Elite status. Despite these perks, the 3 mpd earn rate on everyday spending has specific merchant limitations, and the 1.2 mpd on all other spending is a standard rate that doesn't stand out against competitors.
