How will you be celebrating National Day this year? Will you be indulging in our country’s favorite pastimes of eating and shopping? They definitely count as patriotic things to do, if you ask us — if they counted as an Olympic sport, we’d clinch the gold every year. If you’re gonna spend though, why not save big while you’re at it?
Any savvy shopper already knows the joy of receiving cashback on purchases (something we’ve all probably justified in our heads as being paid to shop), but there’s a bunch of other ways to save big on DBS Extra Bonus Day from Aug. 8-9 with 8% cashback on most categories. Check out the different bankwide offers for DBS/POSB cards and PayLah! deals, as well as perks on insurance and investments.
For the foodies
It’s no secret that Singaporeans are foodies at heart — there’s probably nothing that bonds us more than a heated debate on where to get the best mee pok on the island, and enjoying local fare is a good idea to celebrate National Day this August. While not all of us will be able to witness the NDP live, watching it over a good meal with the fam at home will be equally fun.
Order in a feast, or send over a meal to a loved one and enjoy some rewards and discounts. There’s nothing like some good ol’ hawker food to celebrate National Day. Just think about the hokkien mee you’ve been craving for arriving hot and fresh at your doorstep. The additional feelings of warmth knowing you’re helping out our hawker heroes will just be a plus. DBS will also put an extra S$1 towards each hawker on every order, and you’ll be rewarded for your support as well. Earn a tasty 8% cashback with no minimum spend on your first merchant transaction when you use PayLah! (cashback is capped at S$1 for the first 300,000 customers (excluding Gojek, Comfortdelgro and Gpay transactions).

Being a parent is absolutely a full-time job, and for some of us — something to juggle on top of a 9-5. It’s hard work, and a fun day out with the family is in order.

Here, you’ll be able to save on healthy meal kits by Meals in Minutes or enjoy hotpot with premium soup base by Áo Broth and CHU Collagen.
