Standard Chartered Promotion

I recently received a call from Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore and was told of a really good deal. Here's what it is:

"Apply for a Standard Chartered Platinum credit card before 31 Mar 2008 and enjoy 10% cashback on all your retail purchases for the first two months*.

So if you spend S$1,000 on your card within the first two months, we will credit $100 cash to your account."

This essentially means there is a 10% cashback for all purchases you make from the day you receive your card for a period of two months, subject to a cap of $100 rebate. You don't have to spend >$1,000, so if you spent $800 over two months, you get $80, still 10%! Better still, there is no minimum expenditure involved. And I was told you are still eligible for regular reward points. I signed up, and will most likely see a jump in my shopping expenses next month! Heh. If you are interested, contact a SCB representative before the promotion deadline!

Terms and conditions apply*:
The 10% cashback is based on the total retail transactions charged to the Principal/Supplementary Cards within 2 months of receiving your card. The cashback amount is capped at a total amount of $100 regardless of the total spending within the 2 months period. This will be credited within 3 months from the transaction date. Promotion is valid for all new sign-ups till 31 Mar 2008.
