Besides mega sales and huge discounts, 11.11 is also known as Singles’ Day. Whether you’re single and ready to mingle or happily attached, we could all stand to benefit from self-love and self-care. That’s precisely what DBS aims to promote with this month’s Extra Bonus Day deals, which allow you to pamper yourself this year-end period while enjoying big savings.
Since it’s the time of year where people are scrambling to clear leave, make good use of your off days by embarking on a staycation or cruise to nowhere. If you’re lucky and adventurous enough to venture on a VTL trip, there are also 11.11 deals for DBS/POSB Cardmembers for flights, hotels, and even travel insurance.
Read on to find out more, and stay till the end for even more deals happening on 11th November 2021 – ranging from on- and offline shopping to hawker food dine-in and delivery.
In the pursuit of competitive rates, it can be tedious to compare prices for flights and hotel bookings across various platforms. To save everyone a load of time and hassle, the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace is a one-stop portal where you can browse hundreds of local attractions and activities, hotels for local and overseas accommodation, as well as flights.

You can also conveniently make your chosen bookings directly through the portal, and be entitled to exclusive payment benefits and savings. This includes offsetting your purchases with DBS Points or Daily$ with your DBS or POSB Cards respectively, and having the option to split the purchase amount into flexible monthly instalments at 0% interest.
As part of the 11.11 deals this Extra Bonus Day, all DBS/POSB Cardmembers get to score $12 cashback just by booking via the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace. All the more reason to book that local getaway to shower yourself with TLC, or even hop on a plane for a rejuvenating solo trip.
On top of the cashback perks, score bonus credit card miles with your bookings, regardless of whether you’re venturing overseas.
Those going on a staycation can earn up to 2,000 bonus miles with local hotel bookings made through Agoda or Expedia, via the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace. This campaign extends past 11.11, and is valid for bookings made all the way till 31st December 2021.
