Everybody loves credit card sign-up promotions, but not many of us realise the promotions don’t end with a welcome gift. Banks actually shower us with tons of lifestyle deals and perks just for owning and using their credit cards or debit cards.
Once in a while, we even get super exclusive deals like priority early access to concert tickets—everyone’s been talking about the exclusive Taylor Swift deal that Singapore scored, but let’s not forget the UOB pre-sale in 2023 that saw an onslaught of Swifties flood UOB.
Here’s a look at all the ongoing bank offers and deals in Singapore that you can enjoy with your credit card or simply with your banking app, including lucky draws, cashback or gift promotions, and flight deals.

Credit card privilege programmes in Singapore
If you own a credit card, you’re entitled to dining, travel, and other lifestyle offers you may not even know about. Each bank has their own privilege programme or deals catalogue that makes claiming a deal as easy as applying a promo code or claiming a voucher on your banking app.
These differ from rewards programmes that let you redeem gifts using points accumulated from your credit card spending—for example, redeeming a $5 NTUC voucher with 100 points. Here, we’re talking about catalogues of deals and promotions that you have the privilege of accessing simply because you have a credit card with that bank—for example, showing your credit card at a restaurant to enjoy a 1-for-1 offer on all main courses.
Here’s a list of credit card promotion/privilege programmes in Singapore for UOB, DBS, and more.
UOB: UOB Rewards+
UOB Rewards+ is the UOB rewards programme that all UOB Cardmembers are entitled to. It also claims to be the largest rewards catalogue in Singapore. So if you have a UOB card, make sure you download the UOB TMRW app to browse all deals. You can also view dining deals at The Dining Advisor.
Standard Chartered: The Good Life
The Good Life Privileges is a deals and rewards programme open to anyone with a Standard Chartered credit or debit card (or both).
Citibank: Citi World Privileges
Citi World Privileges is full of deals for not just the rest of the world while you’re on holiday, but when you’re back home in Singapore too.
DBS Privileges and Offers
DBS may not have a fancy schmancy name for their credit card offers programme, but they’ve still got a ton of good deals you should check out.
American Express: Love Dining and Chillax
Amex Platinum cards aren’t the most accessible, but give you access to tons of dining deals and privileges. Check out their Love Dining deals for offers at restaurants and hotels, and their Chillax programme 1-for-1 drink offers and welcome cocktails at bars around the island.
HSBC Credit Card Promotions and Deals
Like DBS, HSBC doesn’t have a dedicated name for their HSBC credit card promotions programme. An HSBC credit card also gives you access to standard offers on The Entertainer with HSBC, although only selected cards give you premium offers.
OCBC Credit Card Promotions
Another nameless programme, OCBC’s credit card promotions and deals span across food, fashion, health and many other categories.
Maybank Credit Card Promotions
The Maybank credit card promotions are all listed online, but don’t forget to change the filter to see the promotions you want. Categories include: dining, beauty, travel, wellness, shopping, and more. There doesn’t seem to be a way to see all categories at once.
CIMB Credit Card Promotions
Check out CIMB’s credit card deals across categories like dining, travel and lifestyle, e-commerce, and beauty and wellness. You can also select “near me” to see deals based on your location.
