Back in June DBS launched the new Vantage credit card, its first foray into the S$120k income segment, with an attractive sign-up bonus worth up to 80,000 miles for new-to-bank applicants, provided you made a minimum spend of S$8,000 in the first 60 days.
That short-term offer has long since closed, but the bank later launched a new deal with a reduced bonus of up to 60,000 miles on offer, originally running until 31st July 2022, then until 30th September 2022, but now extended for applications right through to 31st January 2023.
This is now starting to look like it may become the de factor year-round sign-up offer for the card, given that it will have been running for seven months continuously by the time this one expires, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see further extensions to this deal.
Despite not living up to the original sign-up bonus, the 60,000 miles bonus is still a solid offer worth considering, especially for new-to-bank customers.
