Here’s How To Hack yuu Rewards Club For Even More Bang For Your Buck

When used right, yuu Rewards Club can generate astonishing levels of cashback and rewards that give you some serious savings. Here are three hacks to optimise yuu Rewards Club for maximum value and savings. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d probably have heard about yuu Rewards Club, a coalition loyalty programme that allows you to earn points when making purchases at many of Singapore’s leading brands and merchants. 

At its core, yuu Rewards Club offers a simple premise. Every S$1 spent on eligible transactions earns you 1 yuu Point. Accumulated yuu Points can be traded in for cash vouchers, to redeem special rewards, or to offset purchases instantly. 

Pretty conventional so far, right? But here’s the thing. What sets yuu Rewards Club apart is the ability to accelerate your points collection rate through various channels, increasing your rewards by a whooping 36 times! 

With 1 yuu Point having a trade-in value of 0.5% cashback, that means you can potentially be enjoying as much as 18% cashback on your spends – even higher than some top-line credit cards! 

Suddenly, yuu Rewards Club seems much more exciting than at first glance, right? But how do you unlock such high rewards?  

With our top 3 hacks for turbocharging yuu Rewards Club, of course!

Top 3 hacks to power up yuu Rewards Club

1. Superstack yuu Points

The first hack is to superstack yuu Points earned from your purchases. 

Consider this scenario. You decide to shop for groceries at Giant supermarket. On the way there, you open the yuu App to look for Partner Offers. These are exclusive deals and are only available to yuu Members, and earn bonus yuu Points.

(For example, you can get a 50% promo on weekday admissions to the Singapore Zoo until 28 March 2024.)  

Here’s a simple illustration of how it works. 

You find a yuu Offer on a pack of laundry detergent costing S$7 and decide to purchase it. At check-out, you scan your yuu QR code and enjoy your Booster to earn more Points before you pay:

• Base points (1x) = 7 yuu Points
• Booster (+9x) = 63 yuu Points
• Total = 70 yuu Points

Just by taking these simple steps, you’ve super-stacked your yuu Points! 

Hmm, not bad, but is that all that yuu Rewards Club is capable of? Definitely not, not even close. We’ll get to the ultimate hack, we promise, but first, let’s take a look at what you can do with your yuu Points… which brings us to hack no 2. 

2. Maximise value on your spends

Once you’ve accumulated enough yuu Rewards points, you can start using them to save more and get even more value. Here’s how. 

Redeem yuu Rewards

yuu Points can be redeemed for Rewards, which come in two forms: discounted cash vouchers, and item rewards. 

You can redeem yuu Points right in your yuu App to receive cash vouchers instantly, and use them when shopping or dining at participating brands, such as:

• 970 yuu Points to redeem a S$5 Cash Voucher at Cold Storage/CS Fresh
• 400 yuu Points to redeem a S$2 Cash Voucher for Gojek

Cash vouchers may be used to pay in lieu of cash in-store. You can do so at a manned check-out counter (and not self-service kiosks) – be sure to inform the cashier and present your digital voucher for scanning. 

Meanwhile, item rewards are used to redeem discounted items or exclusive deals. They work the same way as cash vouchers, and are only applicable in-store at manned cashiers. For instance, you can use 300 yuu Points to redeem an Iced Kopi/Teh at Toast Box – this is a 50% off-deal, as you’d usually need 600 yuu Points instead. 

Note that Rewards do expire, so be sure to check each individual reward for its specific expiry date. Note the other terms and conditions that may be attached. 

To view what Rewards are available, simply open the yuu App to view featured rewards on the Home screen. You can also tap “Show All” to browse all Rewards, or tap “Only show Rewards I can redeem” to see the ones you are currently eligible for. 

✨Insider tip: We’ve been told that the yuu team is hard at work on heavily discounted “bonus rewards”, which provide nearly double the value! 

Pay with yuu Points

You can pay with your yuu Points at participating partners/merchants, which instantly offsets your purchase at the point of payment. To do so, simply open your yuu mobile app to scan your yuu ID, and inform the cashier you’d like to pay with Points. 

Note that you’ll need a minimum of 200 yuu Points for each transaction, and that if the value of your purchase is higher than your yuu Points balance, all your yuu Points will be used to offset the payment

Rewards for SUPER DUPER Savings

yuu Rewards Club also provides opportunities to save more with “Super Duper Rewards”. Basically, you can redeem a product for at least half the usual Reward points required, which gives you even more value!

Some of these “Super Duper Rewards” include: 

• Guardian: GO FISH OIL 2000MG 30CAPS (U.P S$14) at 1,400 Points – 50% off
• Toast Box: Iced Kopi/Teh at 300 Points – 50% off
• Singtel: HBO GO (30 Days) at 1,200 Points – 57% off (ending on 31 Mar)

As you can see, some of these deals are available for a limited time only, so be sure not to miss out!

3. Supercharge yuu Points with DBS yuu Card or PAssion POSB Debit Card

We’ve saved the best hack for last. 

To unlock the ultimate features of yuu Rewards Club, simply pair your purchases with the DBS yuu Card or PAssion POSB Debit Card. Doing so will give you bonus yuu Points – up to 36 times more!

Here’s how they work.

DBS yuu Card

• Base earn rate: 10x yuu Points (5% cashback)
• With at least S$600 monthly spend: Additional 26x yuu Points (13% cashback)
• Maximum rewards: 36x yuu Points (18% cashback, capped at S$78 per month)

PAssion POSB Debit Card

• Base earn rate: 3x yuu Points (1.5% cashback)
• At selected yuu Partners: Additional 15x yuu Points (Up to 9% cashback)
• yuu Partners: CS Fresh, Cold Storage, foodpanda, Giant, Great Eastern, Guardian, Gojek,  7-Eleven, BreadTalk Group, Mandai Wildlife Group, and more

This hack is arguably the most powerful, as it lets you turbocharge the rate at which you earn yuu Points. And the more yuu Points you have, the more you can offset future spends and save money. You can also redeem more items you want, without paying anything extra.

Remember the laundry detergent offer from earlier? The one that costs S$7? Here’s how you can increase your yuu Points earned.

*With a monthly min. spend of S$300 at yuu Partners and S$400 on any other purchases

**Bonus cash rebates apply to yuu Partners spend

✨Pro-tip: The DBS yuu Card also entitles you to exclusive Offers that are truly attractive. Check out some of the past Offers: 

• Cold Storage - Royal Umbrella Thai Hom Mali Rice @ S$1
• Toast Box - Traditional Kaya Toast Set from Toast Box @ S$1
• Giant - Farm Fresh Eggs 30s from Giant @ S$3.90 

With special prices like these, here’s your secret weapon to fight high inflation!

Why yuu Rewards Club can really save you money

Rewards points are only as good for the things you can exchange them for. yuu Rewards Club’s secret sauce is in the vast network of partner merchants it has built up, including some of Singapore’s most popular brands.

You can earn and redeem yuu Points at supermarkets like Cold Storage and Giant; convenience stores and pharmacies such as 7-Eleven and Guardian; F&B outlets like BreadTalk and Toast Box; as well as many other household names. 

The list of Partners is growing all the time, so there’s a good chance that your favourite brand will soon be joining the bandwagon too.  

More savings with Offers

Still not convinced? Let’s go through some numbers and see how much you can really save. 

*with DBS yuu Card and minimum monthly spend of S$600.

Here’s the gist of it: with yuu Offers, instead of spending S$61.60, you need to only spend S$35 – that’s a 43% discount. 

And if you pay with the DBS yuu Card, you can earn up to 1,260 yuu Points, which you can redeem for even more savings later on!
