A rewards credit card lets you earn points, rebates, miles or other rewards on your spending. These cards often include customer loyalty programmes, offering higher rewards for purchases at certain merchants. Using a rewards card is one of the easiest ways to get more out of your spending, whether on purchases at supermarkets, online, overseas shopping, restaurant dining, entertainment or night life. Many credit cards in Singapore now offer some kind of rewards, and you can take advantage of these to save on purchases that suit your lifestyle.
