Why apply for the Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card

Perks and benefits

  • Earn 2.8 air miles per S$1 on foreign currency transactions and air tickets (when spending at least S$800/month).
  • 1.2 air miles per S$1 on local spend in categories like dining, hotel stays, groceries, and shopping.

Additional benefits

  • Complimentary airport lounge access (with spend and conditions).
  • 3-year waiver of the annual principal fee; later fee waiverable if you spend S$18,000/year.
  • Special deals via TREATS & Visa (flight discounts, hotel deals, etc.).


Everyday value

  • Decent earn-rate even for those who don’t travel often (local spending still gets you 1.2 mpd).
  • The fee waiver mechanism means you might avoid paying fees long-term if you use the card actively.
  • The moderate income requirement puts this card in reach of many working adults.


SingSaver’s take

The Maybank Horizon Visa Signature Card is a strong travel-miles card, especially if you spend overseas or on flights and can meet the S$800/month trigger. It gives you good value via complimentary travel insurance and lounge access, and the 3-year fee waiver softens the initial cost. On the flip side, some categories (insurance, education, charity) no longer count, and conditions for lounge access are somewhat strict. If you travel occasionally or have mixed spending, this card can deliver solid returns; heavy travellers will benefit more.
