Pick the right Credit cards for golf benefits in Singapore



Singapore golf courses are infamously expensive. But there are ways to work around it!

Credit card benefits offer you access to golf courses without being a member or invited by members. So card benefits give you savings and access both.

 

1.     American Express Platinum Card

Overview: Cardholders enjoy complimentary green fees at over 40 golf clubs across Singapore, Cambodia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

 

The offers:

-       Complimentary green fees on weekdays with one paying guest

-       Complimentary green fees on weekends with two paying guests

 

Access in Singapore:

-       Warren Golf & Country Club

-       Raffles Country Club

Access in Bintan:

-       Laguna Bintan Golf Club

I listed out the above as an example, but there are a total of 17 in Malaysia, 10 in Thailand, 4 in the Philippines, 2 in Vietnam, and 8 in Indonesia.

*Perks: you get cashback (in the form of Statement Credits) and 100,000 Air Miles when you apply through my link for The Platinum Card®. (Upon paying the Annual Fee and spending S$8,000 within the first 3 months of Card approval). And I get $160 credit.

Summary:

If you are like me and don’t like to have too many credit cards (too much admin work to manage), I’d suggest looking at other perks of the credit cards along with the golf benefits to decide the right one for you.

 

For me personally, i like the Amex Plat. It comes with travel insurance, which is great for me as I travel frequently, so it’s a two birds with one stone situation – travel insurance (comprehensive and slightly upscale insurance that covers flight delays, baggage delays & loss, emergency doctor visits, etc.) plus destination golf. Although the annual fee is quite high, the perks and the welcoming miles to the first timers to the card is quite worth it.

 

If you are interested in applying for the Amex Platinum card, I’d greatly appreciate using my link, we both get some perks 😊
