Even though you may not be able to use the card for flights or hotel bookings directly, you can actually use atome to make your bookings via agoda or trip.com and pay via atome platform. Atome’s MCC is 5999 which falls under 4 mile per dollar category. In addition, spreading your travel spending across 3 months instalments can help you keep within the S$1,000 spending cap. However, you will not be able to earn extra cashback on platforms like Shopback or Azgo.
If you are new to Atome, you can sign up here to receive points that is equivalent to S$10 off your first transaction.

Pro-tip: You can buy vouchers via heymax to clock the minimum spending or for large electronic purchases at Courts, Best Denki or furniture purchases at IKEA.
Atome
Atome
Atome is a “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) platform. It lets shoppers split their purchases into three equal, interest-free payments—making it easier to manage cash flow.
Accepted at over 10,000 online and in-store merchants in Singapore
Atome usually codes as MCC 5999 (Misc. & Specialty Retail). Some banks allow points for this, others don’t.
Best Practice: Manual Payment –manually trigger your 2nd and 3rd payments via the app. Auto-payments might be flagged as recurring bills and won’t earn rewards on credit cards. You would want to choose to “Pay in 3” as longer installment plans would incur extra charges. There are often vouchers on the app that you can use to offset the cost further.
Option 1: Direct Bank Promotion
Option 2: Singsaver Promotion
Citi Rewards Card
Get 17% instant fuel discount on Techron® fuels with all Citi Credit/Debit cards when you pay with the CaltexGO app. Get 16% instant fuel discount on Platinum 98 or 14% instant fuel discount on other grades of petrol and diesel with all Citi Credit/Debit Cards.
This is on top of 4 miles per dollar on Citi Rewards + Amaze.

AMEX Krisflyer Ascend Card
1. S$60 Cashback Bonus
Apply for a new Maybank XL Cashback Card or Maybank XL Rewards Card and get S$60 cashback when you make just one transaction. The cashback will be credited automatically to your card account.
⚠️ Limited to the first 2,000 eligible cardmembers, but Maybank does not provide visibility on whether you’re within this cap.
2. Dear Evan Hansen Ticket Giveaway
Cards approved between 10 Sep – 24 Oct 2025 will also enter a lucky draw to win a pair of tickets to the award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen, showing at Sands Theatre on 15 Nov 2025.
3. Complimentary Etiqa Travel Insurance
Get 12 months of Etiqa insurance coverage for overseas medical expenses (including adventurous activities) up to S$5,000. Coverage applies only to accidental injuries and illnesses during leisure trips.
⚠️ Limited to the first 15,000 new XL card applicants.
The XL card’s welcome gift is only S$60 cashback. If you’re new to Maybank and want better sign-up rewards, consider this strategy:
If you planned to get the XL Cashback Card, apply for the Maybank Family & Friends Card instead (also a cashback card).
If you planned to get the XL Rewards Card, apply for the Maybank World Mastercard instead (a miles card).
As a new-to-bank customer, applying for another Maybank credit card first could unlock bigger gifts, such as a Samsonite Interlace Spinner 67/24 luggage (worth S$570) when you spend a minimum of S$1,300 in the first two months.
On top of that, the Maybank World Mastercard also makes your miles non-expiring—so you’re building a stronger rewards foundation right from the start.
Earn 8% cashback for five of your chosen categories.
Earn 4 miles per dollar on selected petrol stations islandwide and up to 3.2 miles per dollar on foreign currency spend

Stackable with Direct Bank Rewards:
My thoughts: If you were going to apply for this card, you should choose the fee waiver option as the cost per mile is 196.20/10,000 miles = 1.96 cents per mile, which is quite expensive.
