For all of us, the last quarter of the year is synonymous with one thing: holidays. As we’re looking forward to wrapping up 2021 by packing our suitcases for a getaway, we can now turn to DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace for a slew of deals and savings.
Whether you’re planning to skedaddle off to Europe on a VTL trip or milk the local promos happening in Singapore, tons of travel and lifestyle perks await you. Here’s what to expect:
As its name suggests, DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace allows you to access numerous deals on hotel stays, flights, activities, F&B and shopping, to name a few.
With deals from over 250 airlines and 1,000,000 hotels, you’ll have a ton of options for your upcoming holiday plans. This includes names such as Singapore Airlines, Agoda and Expedia. You can also compare prices across the board to make easy decisions, since everything can be found on one platform.
There are also DBS Credit Card Rewards & Benefits (DBS Points) that you can use to pay for these deals. Plan your travels from now till 21st November 2021 to get up to 2,000 DBS Points when you book any flight or hotel on the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace:
DBS/POSB Cardmembers can also enjoy perks like special rates on hotel bookings and 11.11 sales, free cancellations on selected hotels, and complimentary travel coverage worth up to S$200,000.
Let’s just admit that we felt a sense of joy that travel is back on the horizon with the announcement of the VTL. If you’re already mulling over which European country or South Korean city to visit, you can add travel deals to your planning roster with the DBS Traveller Kit.

“Make sure to be careful, okay!” says every parent to us when we’re about to head off for a holiday, whether it’s in Singapore or beyond. That said, it’s always advisable to arm yourself with travel insurance just in case you encounter any misadventures.
It includes medical coverage for cruises to nowhere
Cue TravellerShield Plus Insurance underwritten by Chubb, which you can easily sign up for while you’re browsing through the DBS Traveller Kit. This includes medical coverage while you’re on a cruise to nowhere or overseas, as well as baggage loss or damage. In the event of unexpected changes, you can also adjust your travel dates without any penalties.
P.S. From next month onwards, this will even include coverage for Covid-19 if you’re travelling overseas.
Travel and holidays come hand-in-hand with miles. Now that we’re able to book flights guilt-free, we can revive our love for travel miles and exchange them for deals.
You won’t even have to rush to use them, because your miles don’t come with an expiry date. Not to mention, you’ll be able to score more miles on overseas spending and travel-related bookings. Perks are also aplenty with DBS partners such as Expedia and Kaligo, and you’ll be able to rack up additional miles when you make purchases on these platforms.
DBS Altitude Card perks:
Earn more miles with DBS partners:
Those with a DBS Visa Debit Card can also score 2% cashback when they spend in foreign currencies. With no FX fees incurred on 11 foreign currencies such as CAD and GBP, you can also shop and dine overseas with ease.
There’s no doubt that many of us are excited about taking a year-end break and bidding farewell to 2021. With travel being jump-started just as we’re in dire need of a holiday, DBS/POSB Cardmembers can take advantage of the oodles of deals on the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace.
Whether it’s scoring additional DBS Points and miles, or unlocking discounts for hotel stays and activities on the DBS Traveller Kit, you can now start planning your vacation with ease.
There are also upcoming perks that’ll help make the decision to hop onto a VTL flight easier. For example, Covid-19 benefits will be included in your complimentary insurance coverage when you book a flight on the DBS Travel & Leisure Marketplace in January 2022.
