[Customer Support] I am one of the initial applicants when the product was still in the works. Took around 1.5 years since application to receiving the card. There was a lack of proactive updates from the company during that time regarding the progress to rolling out the product - I had to initiate contact myself which was a bit frustrating. Fortunately customer service was quite responsive, however replies were pretty vague that time with template answers. [Features] Best for use for foreign currency payments above $5,000 which is my pain point for other prepaid foreign currency cards e.g. Revolut, YouTrip, Transferwise due to Singapore MAS regulations. Paypal has exorbitant currency exchange rates. Downside so far is only accepts MasterCards for pairing (Visa and AMEX not accepted) which is quite restricting since most of my cards are Visa. 1% cashback for most purchases on top of credit card base benefits [UI] Quite easy to use, dark mode. allows fingerprint authentication and login1

Wow. Nice to meet an early-adopter! 😃
I agree re: customer support being vague and templatey. It's still the same today!
A bit off-putting isn't it?

As the name implies, this card is Amazing! You can get a digital version on your phone instantly and start using it right away. You can use it Singapore and Overseas. Since it's linked to your credit card, you never need to top it up like other travel cards. A couple of things to note though is that 1% cashback is credited quarterly and capped at $100 per quarter0

Great point about converting offline to spend to online. I found it appealing too. Such a brilliant feature because it allows 4MPD with the Citi Rewards Mastercard on all spend.

This is a great product for someone looking to maximise their redemption miles while not incurring unfair foreign exchange rates. My experience on amaze has been very positive and everything was very simple to set up. I like the fact that the digital card arrives instantly while the physical card is being shipped.1

Great point about the foreign exchange fees. Citi charges 3.25%, but with Citi via Amaze, it's 0%—awesome!

[Features] Easy to use, stacking with 1.6% rebate with my Citi Cash back+ Card, so total of 2.6% cashback :p Do note the reduced 1% cashbacks on updated T&C for Y2022 onwards. [Referrals] Not useful as given in points. [UI] Clear and easy to use. [Customer Support] Quick replies on why cannot use with my Apple Pay. Would look forward to it!2

Easy to use, stacking with 3% rebates on my DBS SAFRA Card, so total of 4% cashback with just 1 simple low credit limit Credit Card (min. $500 is still required though) Con: No support for Samsung Pay, which might be or not be a bummer (can double dip for Samsung Pay Rewards points if this works out)0
