What’s the best way to maximise cashbacks with low spending? Help me digitalise my wallet, I’m still using cash and traditional EZ-Link card.

I'm a fresh grad. I have been using PayNow to pay my phone bills, medical bills, top up Shopee Pay. I still use the traditional EZ-link card. I rarely eat out as a student but I guess I would need to eat out when I start work. I only have a debit card(?) like a POSB account.

I'm very frugal (because I don't earn much, starting low 3k with degree in social service sector). Now I'm trying to find a credit card to maximise my cashback (phone bills, medical bills, public transport).

Seems like a lot of credit cards have a min requirement of $500 spending + credit salary to earn the cashback advertised. I definitely would not hit $500 because I can't afford to.

Also, is it better to use Simply Go or EZ link or SMRT Citi card?

Is there a card that can help me earn cashbacks for food, grocery, phone bills?

thanks!

You can sign up SC smart CC when there is event, they ususally will give perks like free $250 without min spending. This card give 6% cashback on public transport.

A card that either has no min. spending or those min. spending that u can hit monthly. Great to see u start to be more cautious about your money usage.

All the best!
