This all started cos my wife and I were looking for a good cheap buffet to attend over the weekend.
So here's a quick summary of all of them.
I'm talking about worthy deals worth mentioning, some of these cards have promos and discounts but they aren't significant and I'm looking for really good deals of great value.
UOB - By far the best card if you're looking for dining promos.
HSBC - A far number 2 ranking. Not great, but better than most.
OCBC - Not too bad, a number of useful promos but nothing great.
DBS - About as worthy to carry as OCBC.
Citibank - Only 3 deals worth mentioning, but I would like to try all 3 of them.
Maybank - Website not really updated well. Not much dining promos. Still better than SCB though.
SCB - I won't be carrying this card around. No great deals for dining.
CIMB - Same as SCB, some deals but nothing great for dining.
BOC - I highly doubt I will even bank with BOC after seeing how their website is maintained.
Once again, I'm going to repeat, I'm only ranking this in my own opinion to what a good deal is, usually 25% off and better, also it's for worthy or useful places to go and eat.
And it's only for straight off discounts. I'm not including rebates and points in this list.
Nonetheless, if any card gives me a 20% discount, I'm still going to use whatever card it is, cos 20% discount straight off is definitely better than 3.3% return on my UOB One card. So it's not like 20% discount is bad. But usually, for 20% discount, I don't make a special effort to go to dine at a place. It's usually after I dine then they say that there's a 20% discount then I'll just pay with whatever card that has the promo.
Rather, this is is kinda like... If I'm looking for a good deal for a nice place to eat, which card do I think has the most great deals where I would make a special trip to go down during a birthday or anniversary treat.
Personally, I carry the following cards...
UOB One for everyday use.
POSB Everyday card as my Ezlink and to buy stuff from Sheng Shiong.
DBS Esso to pump petrol.
Citi Dividend for use if I go to Starbucks. They have a 10% rebate.
OCBC 365. I haven't used this card for some time.
DBS Visa Debit card. For 5% Paywave rebate after UOB One has been clocked.
Hope the compiled lists have given you some inspiration on what and where to eat this weekend.
