Does the new DBS Altitude promotion give it the edge against other lifestyle cards like the CitiPM, OCBC 90 Degrees Card and UOB PRVI Miles card?

I've always grouped these 4 cards together due to their similar mpd when it comes to generalised lifestyle local spending, but would it be wiser to switch over to the DBS Altitude now considering their new 17,000 miles promotion?

Yes, promotion miles are promotion miles. if you can meet the requirement for the promotion, go for it.

Assuming that you have been targetted for the 17,000 miles promotion and you have $6,000 spend coming up, it's a no brainer to sign up for the DBS Alt card to take advantage of the promotion.

On top of that, you also earn 1.5mpd for local spend made during the first 180 days which is the highest in the market at the $30k cards category.

Defo! part of the miles game is maximising earnings during these ad hoc promos!...

Does the upfront payment for a new phone (e.g. IPhone 13) on telco (Singtel/ Circles life) qualify for miles on a miles credit card(e.g. DBS Altitude) or a cashback card (e.g. CITIBANK Cashback)?

Are debit cards necessarily lousier than credit cards? I saw a UOB promotion giving 5 miles per $1 for a debit card spending. Why would banks do that? Is it wise for me to just get a debit card?

Other than the OCBC 90 Degrees N Credit Card being miles focused, are there any other key uses to this card?

DBS Altitude needs>2000/month to waive the annual fee, or pay 193 for annual fee and receive 10000 miles. Can I cancel the card after 1 year and reapply? Will it affect my credit score? Would you give $193 for 10000 miles a consideration? Thanks!?

Hi Why credits card always give free and expensive items? And it's always Citibank or standard Charted.. How about DBS OCBC UOB? I don't see much rewards from them
