Quick answer. For miles with no minimum spend: UOB Lady's Card at 4 mpd. For cashback with no minimum spend: Trust Freedom · Stockback at 3%.

Checked against each bank's own terms, 8 October 2026. Rates assume you're booking online in Singapore dollars.

The label on each card shows how much work its bonus takes.

What the labels mean

Easy no minimum spend or extra conditions. Some effort a minimum spend to reach. Many hurdles a minimum plus other conditions, like a number of transactions or small caps, so the headline rate is harder to get.
