Citigold having a welcome 30000miles for deposits of $200k
And the client acquisition officer who open the account for me
Was nice enough to ask me to quote any family/friends who have
Any citibank relationship to get the $200 referral taka voucher.

Only drawback is that u gotta keep the money there for 3months

Std Chtd has a even better welcome package for the same amount
Giving 60000 miles.
But since I have a banking relationship with them
I'm not eligible

I'm not sure whether this offer is fantastic enough but it sure sounds not bad for a noob like me
DBS has similar offers
15,000 KrisFlyer miles for a minimum deposit placement of SGD150,000 or
USD120,000, or;
(ii) 40,000 KrisFlyer miles for a minimum deposit placement of SGD300,000 or
USD240,000


Not worth it, in my opinion. The interest they pay you on the deposit is lousy, and at 2 cents a mile, the value of the SQKF points they give you is not that much in comparision to the opportunity cost of locking the money up for six months
