DBS Chromo Card
Hand-checked snapshot for Singapore. Author: Spiddy Ng. Figures below come from the linked bank sources — if a field is missing, we say so.
Earn rates
- age 21-29, cashback mode: base: 1% on Eligible Spend (local SGD only)
- age 21-29, top 2 of 6 categories (Dining, Travel, Shopping, Transport, Entertainment, Wellness by MCC): +4% (=5%) if >= S$500 spend in calendar month
- age 30+ (from 3 months after 30th birthday month): 1.7% uncapped, no bonus
- miles mode (any age): 3.25 DBS Points per S$5 = 1.3 mpd, uncapped
RESOLVED: the 1.7% is the post-30 rate, not a conflict. Foreign-currency spend earns nothing but counts toward S$500; 0 FX fee. T&C updated 5 Sep 2026
