The Best Credit Cards With Free Luggage For You To Acquire

Leisure travel is well and truly enjoying a revival, with Singstat data showing Singapore residents making a total of over 5.1 million outbound departures in 2022. While this was around half of pre-pandemic levels, demand for holiday travel among Singaporeans remains strong. 

Now that we’re well into the second half of the year, you may already be dreaming of your autumn holiday or wintry Christmas escape. When planning your travel itinerary, don’t forget to consider an essential piece of equipment – your luggage case. 

You’ll want something that is light to carry, yet sturdy enough to keep your belongings safe from the rigours of travel. Of course, any good luggage should also have a strong lock to resist theft and tampering.

Good quality luggage from reputable brands can be startlingly expensive, but the elevated quality, construction and design are hard to resist. Waiting for a sale to buy upper-tier luggage is a good tactic – if you have the time and the luck for it!

Another way to get your hands on some quality travel luggage – for free! – is to check the latest credit card offers. Luggage cases remain a popular item in many credit card promotional drives, so you can easily score yourself a piece or two as part of your welcome gifts. 

We’ve gathered the latest credit card promos with free luggage and compiled them in this article. Have a look!
