2 Best Credit Cards For Occasional Travelers
-
ANZ Optimum World MasterCard is the best card for occasional travelers who earn at least $80,000 each year. You can choose one of four categories to earn unlimited 5% cashback on purchases in your selected category. The four categories you can pick from are travel, dining & leisure, shopping and groceries, and you can earn cash back on those purchases anywhere in the world.
You can choose the category you want every calendar quarter (January - March, April - June, July - September, October - December), so you can choose travel as your category if you expect to book travel during the coming calendar quarter, but the rest of the time you can enjoy the 5% unlimited cashback on purchases you make closer to home by choosing either groceries, dining & leisure or shopping as your category. On all other purchases you will earn 1% cashback, which is pretty good for a flat rate on everyday spending!
This card also comes with a lot of dining, shopping and leisure privileges both in Singapore and overseas. When you sign up for this card, you get a $100 cash rebate! This card has a $180 card fee per annum (waived for the first year). Here's our ANZ Optimum World MasterCard review.
