I just cancelled both my Amex Krisflyer Ascend and Rewards Card as I don't see a use after the initial bonus (they waived off the annual fee/late charge). Alternatively they offered me the Amex Platinum Credit Card 1st year free. Don't have much use for the benefits though. Maybe if I need to buy some stuff from Harvey Norman, then i'll use the card.

Fairprice is fine, it's cold storage, giant, jasons, and market place where you get ~~$tupid~~ $mart.

That is correct, you get UNI$ from NTUC Fairprice. I use it there often.

Which bank allows loan payment by another credit card? There is 2-2.5% CC processing fee, is not it? So the bank should eat that fee or pass it to the payer, right?

Thanks for info.

What about the other supermarkets - Giant, Cold Storage, Jason's.

What card should I be using?

Giant cold storage and I think Jason too will only get smart$.
For instore purchase, I guess the best card should be the general spending card.

You need to add Market Place to that list as well, but that's pretty much it. Basically, avoid any supermarket under the Dairy Farm group in Singapore.

Not a bank, it's student loans.
