Watch out for the currency conversion fee!
I’ve not done a purchase from iHerb for a long time (or any foreign website), and i’ve forgotten about how to go about it. What i normally do is pay with the YouTrip card, since the items are denominated in USD. Well, you know that one way merchants make money is to charge you in…

Dash – Cashback king till 30 Sep 2019
Well, I’ve only recently signed up with Dash, the payment platform by Singtel, mostly out of curiosity. I’ve noticed their ads at Food Republic food courts for the longest time, but never felt any urge to give them a try. I did so recently, just to check if they offered any good deals. What do…

Save serious money on hotel bookings
I have just received S$166.16 in cashback for the hotel bookings of my recent trip, no kidding! Here’s how i did it. Earn cashback through Shopback. Simple as that. Hotel booking websites take an average of 15% in commission from the hotel/accommodation provider for every booking done through their websites. Yes, that’s an awful lot of money! They’re willing to give…

Visa ♥ Shopback
Not wanting to be left out, Visa now partners with Shopback and dishes out more cashback if you go through the Visa promo page. However, they can’t actually force you to make payment with a Visa credit/debit card on the actual merchant’s site. All you have to do is to fill in the first 6 digits of…
