Get an extra S$500 without working for it. Simply credit your salary and meet the spending threshold with DBS Salary & Spend promo. Here are all the details you need to know.

There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, but sometimes, a deal comes along that's so good, it's practically the next best thing.

The DBS Salary & Spend promo is giving you S$500 with virtually no effort required on your part. That’s a good chunk of moolah, and all for free. But hang on – what’s the catch?

DBS Salary & Spend promo, explained

There’s no catch, but you do have to take a couple of actions. Basically, DBS is recruiting more customers by giving away an eye-catching amount of money. 

Here’s what the promo is all about: From now till 30 October, simply credit your salary and meet the spending threshold. Fulfil both conditions and be rewarded with S$500 in total.

Condition 1: Credit your salary and get S$300 

For the first condition, credit your salary of at least S$1,600 for three consecutive months. You’ll need to credit your salary in SGD to a DBS or POSB account. 

Accomplishing this will earn you S$300. 

However, this promo is limited to new customers only – i.e., those who have not credited their salary to DBS/POBS from 1 February to 31 July 2024.

Terms and conditions for salary crediting

  • Salary must be paid via GIRO with the code SAL/PAY
  • The first qualifying salary credit must take place by 31 October
  • Joint-accounts are eligible, but each account will only receive one cash reward

Condition 2: Meet the minimum spend and get S$200

Using your DBS/POSB credit or debit card, spend at least S$500 per month for three consecutive months. Do this and you’ll get a further S$200. 

Terms and conditions for card spending

  • Monthly spending is counted starting from the month after your first salary credit
    • For example, if your first salary crediting is in October 2024, then the three-month spend period would be November and December 2024, and January 2025
  • Minimum spend will be calculated based on local and foreign currency transactions posted by 7th of the following month 
  • Only retail transactions will be counted, and the usual exclusions apply (NETS payments, utility bills, bank finance charges, etc.) 
  • Spending can be across several cards, and you may use both credit and debit cards
