Always buy travel insurance when you travel. You never know when some mishaps will happen or if you're taking budget airlines like I always do, you never know when you'll face a long delay. Maybe I have been lucky because I have yet to face a long delay whilst travelling on budget airlines yet. Anyways, here's a promotion for UOB travel insurance. I find their service and response for their insurance application rather fast. They are currently running a promotion for 30% off their per trip plan and 15% off their annual plan if you're a UOB card member. If you're not, you can get 25% off their per trip plan and 10% off their annual plan.
Follow this link to their website to know more about the promotion and their rates.
They did not specify the amount of discount you will be given, but when I tried it on a random hotel in Tokyo, I manage to get a 25% discount off the normal price (From S$160+ to S$120+). Quite a good deal if you're going to Japan.
I think this promo code is rare to come by, in fact this is actually the first time I've seen a promo code that can be used for Amari hotels.
Promo Code: AmrMA4EM
Discount Given: Up to 20%
Valid till: 31 May 2014
The hotels include, Amari Watergate, Amari Vogue Krabi, Amari Phuket, Amari Residences, Amari Boulecard, Amari Don Muang Airport and many others that they have. Follow this link to their site.
I find it rare that NTUC Income has travel insurance promotion. So when they have it you have to act quick and purchase your travel insurance. They are running a 20% off their travel insurance premium if you use their mobile application to make your purchase. Valid till 11 April 2014. Always purchase travel insurance as you never know when you might need it.
So, I was always wondering if I could calculate exactly how much my credit card will charge me if I were to make a transaction in another currency. I actually found out how. You have to go to your credit card type company (Visa, Mastercard, American Express etc) and find out what the rate is for the day.
Here's the link to Visa's exchange rate calculator that will give you the exact rate you will be paying. For Singapore, I only tried with DBS cards and the bank fee is 0%. Do give this a try and you might find it easier to see which site regardless of country has a better deal for your purchase.
Grab your tickets before it's gone. Book by 13 April 2014! If you manage to find a comparable price with Jetstar remember to use the price beat guarantee to save even more!
I was searching for a discount code for my upcoming trip to Bangkok later this month (April) and found this website that could give me 15% discount off for Amari Watergate hotel. This discount code should work for many other hotels too, but the only catch is you have to use their app to make the purchase.
Site: ebookers.com
Discount code: APP15 or CITY15
Discount given: 15%
Expiry: Unknown
Remember to download the app on your mobile device as it will give you a better deal. Also, the price quoted is in British Pounds which doesn't really matter as it is still cheaper overall. This website is legit as I receive confirmation from the hotel itself that they received the booking.
So a bit on what I paid. I booked Amari Watergate hotel for 3 nights at £132.26 after discount, this is equivalent to S$277.94 or S$92.65 per night. I tried finding a better price else where like hotels.com, expedia.com.sg, hotelclub.com and many more but it all added up to around S$340 and even with a 10% discount (the max I could find) it will be around S$310.
I will be posting details on Amari Watergate and more about the trip later on. Meanwhile, do give this site a try and you may find a good deal for your holiday!
Jetstar is running a buy 1 get 1 free promotion for one day (1 April 2014) only! It's not an April Fools day joke, I actually tried it out and you can get a pair of return tickets to Bangkok for $198. That's about $100 per person!
