4 Tips You Must Know Before Going On Your Year-End Vacation

Looking forward to that year-end vacation? So are we! With the end of the year upon us very soon, don’t wait till the last minute to prepare for your holiday. Plan ahead so you can enjoy every travel moment to the fullest. Here are a few tips you must know before going on that well-deserved vacation!

1. Download Singtel Dash and go wallet-free

Before you depart, make sure you download and register for Singtel Dash, the all-in-one mobile wallet we guarantee will come in useful during your trip.

With Dash, you won’t have to worry about bringing more cash and credit cards than you actually need. You can literally shop and pay with Dash anywhere in the world with Visa Contactless or VIATM, and for a limited time only, enjoy an additional 5% cashback on all your overseas spend*. Time to shop till’ you drop!

2. Use VIA™ for greater convenience and savings

VIA™ is a safe and convenient way to make payment in Singapore dollars (SGD) through Dash whilst you’re overseas.

Simply scan the QR code using Dash whenever you see the VIA™ logo –  you’ll not only see the cost immediately reflected in SGD before you authorise payment but there are also ZERO additional transaction fees and attractive foreign exchange rates incurred. Hassle-free, quick and best of all, no longer needing to carry around loose change in foreign currency – what’s not to love?

In Thailand, in addition to the VIA logo, you can also look out for Kbank, Thai QR or PromptPay logos to make purchases using Dash.

As an added bonus for those of you jetting off to the Land of Smiles, you can ride the BTS absolutely FREE when you use VIA™ through Dash from now till 31 December! Simply pick your destination, select Thai QR (in blue) and scan with Dash. You’ll easily skip the queues if you have Dash as this is the only cashless way to pay (even credit cards aren’t accepted at BTS stations!). Your holiday just got a bit better – just because you’re not a local doesn’t mean you can’t travel like one!

Pay with VIA™ for those last minute souvenirs or snack purchases at both Japan Duty Free – Narita Airport & TIAT Duty Free Shop – Haneda Airport

For all of your additional shopping and eating expeditions in Japan and Thailand, receive 5% cash back^ at over 2.1 million VIA-compatible merchant points. That means you can use VIATM to pay in your favourite Thai shops like After You Café, Naraya, Big C & TOPS supermarkets, Boots, Watsons, and shops in Central World, MBK, Icon Siam and get your Japanese snack and souvenir fix at both Haneda and Narita International Airports!
