If your ideal kind of day is spent shopping online at home, then the Citibank Rewards Card is for you. 

This is one of the cards that gives the highest reward points: 10 Rewards points (4 miles for every $1) for online spend, both overseas and locally. The best part? No minimum spend is required. Your Rewards points can either be used to offset payment for purchases or to redeem from a catalogue of Citi ThankYou rewards that include various merchandises and travel. 

The monthly cap is set at 9,000 bonus Rewards points per statement month (equivalent to S$1,000 per month for online shopping). Meanwhile, base Rewards points have no cap whatsoever. So if you’re an online shopping fiend and spend over S$1,000 per month, you earn only 1 Reward point for every S$1 spent after the cap is reached.

Also, take note, Rewards points aren’t offered on travel-related transactions so don’t book your flight tickets and hotel stays using this card. Check out the full exclusions here.

If you enjoy buying anything and everything online as well as adore the cashless lifestyle, the UOB EVOL Card is your BFF. 

The main highlight of this easy-to-use credit card is that you get to enjoy a high 10% cashback on all your online spend and mobile contactless spend made via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay or Fitbit Pay.

It's really as simple as that, so long as you meet the decently achievable minimum spend requirement of S$800 per statement month to earn the maximum cashback.

As there is a cap of S$80 per statement month split across the categories, you may need to track your spending.

If you just want a simple, hassle-free cashback card that has no lid on how much you can get back, the UOB Absolute Cashback Card is the card to get. 

It offers the most straightforward cashback rate: 1.7% cashback on everything! If you think 1.7% sounds low, keep in mind there is no minimum spending requirements or cashback caps.  This is ideal for those who don’t have time to keep track and split expenses across multiple cards (who does?).

With the unlimited cashback in mind, the best time to get hold of this credit card is when you’re anticipating a big-ticket online purchase, such as household appliances, furniture or electronic gadgets. 

While the UOB Absolute Cashback Card offers limitless cashback with a relatively low 1.7%, the CIMB Visa Signature card is quite the opposite: it accelerates your online shopping gains with the highest cashback at 10%. But online shopping itself is a wide spectrum, and it includes groceries; if this category takes up a significant portion of your monthly expenditure, it is highly recommended that you charge it to this card too. 

Another major benefit of the CIMB Visa Signature Card is that principal cardholders enjoy a lifetime fee waiver of annual fees.

Be sure to spend a minimum of S$800 per month to qualify for the 10% cashback, which is capped at S$100 per statement month, split into S$20 per category.

As stated in the exclusions, the cashback applies strictly to online shopping, which means your brick-and-mortar retail spends only get you 0.2%.

Fashionistas, you can do no wrong if you carry DBS Live Fresh into your online shopping spree. Whether you’re shopping for your next great #OOTD ensemble, the latest sneaker release or beauty/grooming products, you enjoy 6% cashback on all qualifying online purchases. 

But that’s just one of the twin engines of cashback earning; all your Visa contactless (PayWave) payments during physical shopping (not limited to retail) also gets you 6% cashback.

All other spending earns 0.3% unlimited cashback. In a month, assuming you hit the minimum qualifying spend of S$800, you could earn up to a total of S$70 cashback (cashback cap split into S$50 on shopping spend and S$20 on transport spend). 

DBS has the occasional credit card promotion whereby you earn higher cashback rate on selected categories of spending, or when you hit certain spending goals. So keep a lookout for those.

If retail and online shopping are high on your agenda, then the OCBC Titanium Card is the card to shop with.

It gives 50 OCBC$ for every S$5 spent on shopping categories (i.e. 10 OCBC$ per dollar or 4 miles per dollar). Examples include duty-free stores, department stores, clothing stores, shoes and bags stores and babies and children’s wear. 

Fans of Shopee, Taobao, Ezbuy, Lazada, Qoo10, Amazon, Alibaba, AliExpress, Daigou, Mustafa Centre and Courts can also look forward to racking up rewards quickly with this credit card.

That's not all. You can also earn an additional 2% cash rebate if you are shopping at BEST Denki.

Another perk? With complimentary e-Commerce Protection, the card safeguards you against non-delivery or defective goods for all online purchases charged to the credit card.

Do note that the bonus cap is 10,000 OCBC$ per calendar month or S$1,110 per calendar month.

If your idea of online shopping involves ordering a feast from your favourite delivery platforms, the OCBC 365 Credit Card rewards you for that with 6% cashback on the likes of Deliveroo, GrabFood and foodpanda.

The icing on the cake is that it offers a slightly higher than average cashback cap of S$80 per month, assuming you spend at least S$800 per calendar month. 

Besides the 5% cashback on online food deliveries (as well as dining in general), you’ll also get to enjoy an array of cashback privileges on other online spending categories, most notably the 3% on groceries, private hire rides and recurring telco and electricity bills, pharmacy purchases, streaming subscription and electric vehicle charging fees.

For those who drive, the OCBC 365 also comes with fuel perks: up to 22.92% fuel savings at Caltex (including 18% instant discount for all fuel), up to 21.04% fuel savings at Esso, and 5% cashback on fuel spend at all other petrol service stations!
