So maybe you’re spending hours everyday travelling on the train and bus — contemplating the meaning of life with each mundane ‘tap in’ and ‘tap out’.
But what if we told you that each tap gets you closer to a “reward”?
We’re not talking about free water bottles or unsightly drawstring bags — we’re talking about useful, sometimes edible rewards like Old Chang Kee curry puffs, Dunkin’ Donuts‘ donuts or movie ticket discounts.
This isn’t a sponsored post. We just think you deserve donuts & curry puffs every month, especially when a train breakdown occurs.
It works like this. For every 10 cents you spend with your EZ-Link card, you’ll receive 1 point. You accumulate the points and use them to redeem anything from food to shopping vouchers.
Time for the good stuff — the rewards. You can choose from a variety of foods, accessories, and discount vouchers.
Food & Beverages:
Retail:
You can also choose to save up your points for more expensive items like an Tokidoki EZ-Charm. The adorable charm retails at $29.90 at Popular Bookstores, so it’s not surprising that it costs an exorbitant 15,000 points.
In case you’re not familiar with EZ-Charms, they are like little key chains that work just like an EZ-Link card. We’re crossing our fingers that the Snorlax EZ-Link charm to be released on 10 Dec will be available too!
Finally, for Circles.Life subscribers, every 10 public transport rides paid for using your EZ-Link will add 50 MB of data to your current month’s limit.
The good news is, spending isn’t limited to public transport fares — you can use your EZ-Link card for many other kinds of purchases and points will also be rewarded.
Here are some notable places you may consider paying with your EZ-Link card:
There are hundreds of other EZ-Link-friendly outlets here. You can even use it to rent a Mazda with Smove.
If all that sounds good to you, just download the EZ-Link mobile application, link your card to it and start redeeming.
Accumulating points isn’t hard at all.
Let’s say you spend $5 on transport a day. That’s $150 dollars a month, which clocks you about 1,500 points.
So every time you’re stuck in the train, at least you can take comfort in the fact that you’re a step closer to free curry puff.
