You can also browse through e-magazines documenting various topics, immerse yourself in an e- or audio book, or wrangle up the rest of the fam or a small group of friends to sing along to your fave tunes.
These exclusive digital entertainment deals for DBS/POSB Cardmembers offer savings of up to 80% along with several months of complimentary access, and they couldn’t have arrived at a more opportune time.
