Any recommendations for a credit card?

Hi, I will be graduating soon and will be joining an MNC. The MNC has dinner allowance which I can claim back, which most of the time will be through GrabFood. Any recommendations for credit card? I am agnostic to cashback or miles, minimum spending preferably below $600 and can maximize GrabFood purchases. Thanks!

Are you just looking to get a card for the dinner allowance?

You may also consider these cards for your personal usage.

  • SingSaver or MoneySmart. They regularly share sign-up bonus from the various banks, say $250 (Air Pods now!) for signing up for a Citibank card as a new-to-bank customer.

  • Milelion Roar telegram broadcast channel (https://t.me/milelionroars). They post all (I think?) promotions almost in real time, as well as compile a Weekly Deal Summary to ensure you do not miss out on any promotion. Best of all, it is a channel so no spams! Only the best stuff shared there

All the best!

For grab purchases definitely go for the ONE card!

UOB One - based on what you mentioned in your profile grab spending will be a heavy weight which mak...
