Attention: There’s something nice to giveaway for one lucky reader. You will find out at the end of this post.
Are we overwhelmed by the choices of credit cards available in the market? It may be a taboo topic to discuss about credit cards for some, unless we use it wisely… read on.
These days, we are presented with a plethora of credit cards designed to suit individual’s lifestyle and needs. Recently, I attended the event for the launch of the new Standard Chartered Tigerair Platinum Credit Card. It’s quite interesting to know that, according to research, travel-related spending on credit cards has increased at least 35%, and more consumers are spending on budget airlines this year. Perhaps, I shouldn’t be surprised – I’m one of them.
To cater for the value-conscious travellers who travel on budget airlines, Standard Chartered co-branded with Tigerair to offer the first travel card that highlights on giving the card holder “faster ways to more holidays”.
That’s, two one-way air tickets (all-inclusive) upfront* to one of 11 Tigerair destinations including Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai, Ho Chi Minh City, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Medan, Pekanbaru and Surabaya.
Plus, the travel card holder enjoys an exclusive suite of Tigerair perks such as advance seat selection for free, priority boarding, free upgrade for check-in luggage and early access to hot fare deals and discounts.
For the ‘Upfront Rewards’ plan, the spending requirement is $5000 in the next 12 months; otherwise, if the spending requirement is not fulfilled, a $100 fee will be charged to the travel card. Another option is to choose the ‘Future Rewards’ plan to earn reward points after charging on the card to redeem tickets on Tigerair, shopping and dining vouchers.
Going Bangkok
Guess what? We are (finally!) going to Bangkok for the first time. It was a pleasant surprise at the event. Some of our friends couldn’t believe we haven’t been there before… Oh well, please give us suggestions on where to go, makan and shopping in Bangkok! We will update our trip ‘live’ on Twitter and Instagram.
With friends: Alvin(ology) and Wee Heng (AspirantSG).

Eunice, can I take part??? 😀
I like the SCB Tigerair Benefit of ‘free upgrade of check-in luggage’, it’ll allow us to buy and bring more shopping back without incurring penalty for overweight luggage.
I can get early access to hot fare deals with Standard Chartered Tigerair Platinum Credit Card because i love travelling with Tigerair
I love the free upgrade for check-in luggage. So i can shop more :p
The free upgrade is the best benefit for me!! There’s a smaller chance of my luggage being overweight, a big worry I have for all my trips 🙂
There is a free check-in luggage upgrade, and therefore, I can spend more time in the airport shopping, and chillaxing before boarding ! It’s such a benefit, who wouldn’t want it?:))
Air tickets upfront?! What a perfect way to start my holiday! I love travel perks like early access to hot deals, priority boarding and free check-in luggage upgrade which means I have less stress over how I shop and how I pack my things! Holiday should be that convenient and this credit card is the ultimate traveller friendly card to have!
Oh I certainly like free tickets upfront, and the array of perks! Free seat selection, priority boarding, luggage upsize all for free! And early sale notification. You do feel special already.
@CleverMunkey: You can!
Winner has to collect the prize in Singapore. 🙂
Who wouldnt like HOT DEALS AND DISCOUNTS?!! I know I do!!
I like ‘Air tickets upfront’ and ‘Tiger perks’! A very good excuse to go on more holidays.
