Credit Cards

Question from the community: Hi all, would like to seek advice on getting a credit card.

I am a fresh graduate earning around 5k~/month (before CPF). I have an existing student loan that I will start paying in Dec (around 30k~) while also aiming to get miles at the same time.

Any recommendation for a good credit card to collect miles while paying student loans (if it is possible?) and also for insurance/savings payments? Is it possible to get miles from such payments as well?

Appreciate the advice!

For starters, student loans I doubt can get miles, most credit card providers will state as exclusion in the T&Cs.

​

As for Insurance payments, can use facilities like CardUp and AXS to aggregrate the miles (for a modest fee, which might defeat the purpose of miles collection, unless the additional cost is worth the miles).

Don't think there's any card out there that allows you to pay loans while getting miles in return though.

Hi!! check this out for credit cards to gain miles :)) my family uses the krisflyer amex card, it's pretty good!! not sure about the student loans part though!

Maybank Plat for insurance. For student loans, I doubt that there are much options for that.

UOB lady for 6 miles...
