Not Giro but "Pay Any Bills".
Yes it's counted. Impossible the bank award you for paying other banks' cc bill but not your own one what. Somemore is paid with our savings.
See below reply. Never mention must be GIRO. It's pay bills online
OR GIRO.
That one is spend bonus, I also entitled to that for this month. Spent more than 500 d.
The one I referring to is payment bonus.
PAYMENT
0.3%per year
Pay at least 3 bills online or through GIRO with a total amount of at least S$150.
I'm unattached here in SG. No other bills ATM. Previously only Singtel bill. Now 2 more credit cards from OCBC which is counted as one bill each
The spend bonus and the payment bonus is not linked. Whether you spend 500 or not as long as you make 3 bills payment more than $150 in total then can get d, vice versa.
I have quite savings in the 360 account that's why ATM I think it's the most worth until someday when I decide to take that cash out for investment or purchase other things. For the time being such setup should be the best for me. Taking the additional 0.6% interest on my savings as cash back, it's like around 5% cash back equivalent if I spend around 500-600 per month on the credit card. Why not?
Btw... Just ytd saw the DBS SAYE account. It works a bit different. You also need to debit salary + 5 transactions on POSB/DBS CC (no minimum specified as far as i know).
But you can start with a higher initial deposit. It works by taking money from your main account monthly from $100 - $3000.
Effective interest will be around 4% after 2 years. Better than most FD in SG
