#1: Enticing cash rebates

The biggest strength of this card is its versatility. From dining, petrol and food delivery to groceries and online shopping, the POSB Everyday Card has you covered. Apart from earning cash rebates on your recurring telco and utility bills, you even get to earn cash rebates when you shop at Watsons and Pet Lovers Centre.

While there’s a S$800 minimum spend per calendar month required in order to earn cash rebates on your online food delivery, dining, online shopping, and telco transactions, take heart that you can snag cash rebates at Sheng Siong and Watsons even if you don’t meet the S$800 minimum spend requirement. The latter is one of the most unique features of this cashback credit card.
