If I top up my GrabPay wallet using AMEX KrisFlyer card, will it count towards my spending bonus to hit $5k spend within 3 months?

I’m thinking if this is considered to be a valid payment on AMEX KF card side. Anyone with experience to share?

Yes, it does count towards hitting the bonus of 5k in the first 3 months. It is one of the only cards which gives black and white bonus on grab pay.

Additionally you get a 2mpd bonus on the first 200 but still; get base miles on the rest of the spend​​​

Hey there, as many of them shared, the higher mpd will only be valid for the first $200 for every calendar month. Hence it would only be for the $600 of the $5k you have planned.

On top of that, with so much in your Grabpay wallet, hope you will be able to expense it as TnCs do change regularly and abruptly (such as recently for AXS payments). So hope this does not catch you off guard if you have any planned payment using your Grabpay wallet.

On that note, should you receive a referral for the AMEX KrisFlyer card, the target would be $1k spend within the first 3 months which is much easier to hit. Do let me know if you would need the referral on this (valid till end 2019) and I'll be more than happy to help on this. All the best!

Hi there,

Yes it counts as AMEX KF top up to grab will earn miles too, however there is a cap of $200/month. So technically speaking, you need to cover up for the $5000 - ($200*3) = $4400 SGD, would not be worth to top up the full $5K to Grab just for the sign up bonus.

Yes, i am using the card and it counts towards the amount. I was successful in getting the bonus miles

Yes it does! It's 3.1mpd for the first $200 and 1.1mpd for anything more than that. You can also thi...
