They're also set to launch two more credit cards soon!

A super- premium one for customers receiving at least 1 lakh cash flow in their DBS account.
Another premium one for customers receiving at least 50k cash flow in their DBS account.

Even after getting the card, is it worth it? Given the reward rate is only 2% in India?

Not very high reward rate

Not very high reward rate

Exactly why not just take another super premium card like hsbc premier or emeralde pvt or something else which are equally hard to get but more rewarding

I think vantage.


Did you get it through invite or rm?

When they launched I expressed interest and then received it in June 2023.

It is worth it for me as I have a lot of international expenses. It is 4% for international transactions with 1.75% fc mark up (0% in Singapore but you get 4% even there). Also it gives points for government transactions in India. Plus the milestones are great as you get 40000 points for 20lac yearly spend as well as fee waiver for 10 lac spend. Each point is worth 1₹, if you transfer to Bonvoy via ITC it is 15000 points for 10000 dbs points.

I use infinia for domestic transactions and vantage for international and government transactions (India). It is a great combination.

Simply infinia will get the job done in almost all circumstances
