Which cashback card is recommended for big ticket purchases (e.g. wedding)?

The cashback or miles from paying for wedding itself is usually not great.

One strategy would be to combine it with sign-on bonuses. For e.g.

• Sign-up Card A (spend $4k within first 3 months to get $200 sign-up bonus plus x% cashback for the $4k) and swipe $4k on Card A

• Sign-up Card B (spend $10k within first 2 months to get $150 sign-up bonus plus y% cashback for the $10k) and swipe $10k on Card B

• SIgn up Card C...blablabla

Replace the "cashback" above with "miles" if you are more inclined to miles. Check out singsaver or moneysmart for a list of good credit card sign-on bonuses.

Under normal circumstance (pre-Covid19), I would suggest going for miles. Combining all sign-on bonuses (miles) and miles from swiping your $20k, you can probably get a pair of business class tickets (one-way only) to Europe.

If you are planning a honeymoon and is confident travel will open up soon, perhaps Miles?​​​
