If my wife and I were to transfer money to each other on a month to month basis, we will get a boost and step-up bonus. Is this an Ocbc 360 account "hack"?

Assuming my wife & I have $20,000 in each of our OCBC 360 savings account. If she transfers all her $20,000 to me, I would get a Boost Bonus of $16.98 as well as $11.46 for Step-up Bonus (according to the 360 acccount interest calculator).

Next month, I'll transfer all my $40,000 to her, she will then earn a Boost Bonus of $33.97 and $11.46 of Step-up Bonus. Can I repeat these steps for the subsequent months to get these bonuses? It's not big amount, but still it is consider a hack?

My guess is it will work at the start.

Just read the terms and conditions, it didn't say the money must not be from another OCBC account.

So technically it will work.

Do leave a minimum amount for any credit card bill, other bonus, etc etc

Is there any fee for receiving money when I want to transfer a balance from Revolut Singapore to my Singapore OCBC or POSB account as I know there is no fee from Revolut Singapore to transfer money?
