If you live for sales, Singapore’s first-ever Golden Week organised by SRA with UnionPay will be heaven. From 30 September to 16 October, there will be a pop-up lounge at ION Orchard Level 1 Atrium complete with free biscuits, coffee, tea and hot chocolate where you can take a break from all the discounted shopping at retailers like Topshop, Warehouse, and Dorothy Perkins.
You’ll also get to win up to $10,000 of prizes and free limo rides, all in Blair Waldorf fashion! Here’s what to look out for:
Ever since Pokemon Go was released in Singapore, shopping also meant walking that little bit extra to hatch Poke eggs. Get both your body and phone recharged at UnionPay’s Golden Lounge at ION Orchard’s atrium on Level 1.
The Golden Lounge is open to everyone – regardless of whether you have a UnionPay Card or not – and it’s equipped with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, biscuits, and mobile charging ports.
Now you won’t have to spend 8 bucks on a coffee just to take a break.
If you’ve got a UnionPay Card, you’re practically royalty. Gain exclusive access to the VIP area, fully equipped with luxurious OSIM massage chairs under a cosy canopy, and sip on a cuppa “Gold Brew” coffee (yes, with real gold flakes) till you’re ready for the rest of your shopping trip.
Keep your closet updated with the latest designs. If you shop with your UnionPay Card (card number starting with “62”), you get 10% off the bill at shops like Nike (with min. $180 spent), and an additional 10% off your total bill at Topshop, Warehouse, and Dorothy Perkins.
Here’s the full list of shops participating in Singapore Golden Week.
October’s ritualistic, soul-damaging Halloween Horror Nights at USS isn’t for everyone. Using your UnionPay Card allows you to purchase an Alive Museum ticket and receive a free Gardens by the Bay ticket. Enjoy more than 35% off for two attractions: $25 for adults (U.P. $39), and $20 for children (U.P. $28).
It’s not a uniquely Singaporean experience without food. Here are the two best deals you NEED to take advantage of.
WOK°15 Kitchen is having a 10% off total bill. Get a taste of Hong Kong with their off-the-menu Fried Pork Belly with Soya Sauce ($13), which comes in a mouth-watering crispy skin and juicy meat, as well as caramelised leek.
Tip: take your date here for a romantic seaside stroll after dinner.
