LifeStyle Updates : KFC Whack A Chicken

• $8 off e-Voucher is good. It's applicable for all types of purchases (Online, Takeaway, Delivery) too.
• But it's hard to get the required points. At least 1000 points to have a chance.
• Games also seem to be random with the chicks' types. (Blue chick awards the most points) So sometimes it feels like 1000 points is not doable.

KFC Catch & Win Game : 17 Apr 2023 to 16 May 2023

KFC is running a Catch & Win game that provides rewards.

It's pretty easy to play. Just catch chickens only and ignore the rest.

I've won the $10 KFC eVoucher rewards.

It is valid for 7 days, valid for either dine-in, take-away & delivery online.

Minimum spend of $20 excluding delivery fee.

The best reward in my opinion.

What eWallets and ePayments to use for Cost Savings

https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/deposits/pay-with-ease/paylah-5-million-hawker-meals

Today I experienced the dreaded error from trying to claim my $3 rebate from on-going DBS Paylah promotion during lunchtime.

Over the years, there have been various ePayment and eWallet promotions via different means. 

When it works, you feel great. When it fails, you frustrate and will resist to use again.

But Patience and Perseverance will save you $$ in the long run.

Trying out the different promotions is a guarantee way to save money especially when technology is simply getting better and better each year. 

Cash is the worst choice.

My usual payment workflow is:

Option 1. ShopeePay or ShopBack

In many shops, these 2 payment methods will offer the most points or dollar cash back offers.

Option 2. XNAP

XNAP is great way to utilise credit card using SGQR.

Option 3. POSB Everyday Credit Card and PayLah

https://www.posb.com.sg/personal/cards/credit-cards/posb-everyday-card

I use this because of DBS Multiplier and POSB Sheng Siong discount. Credit cards from different banks all give different ways to earn.

Option 4. Trust Bank, FavePay, GrabPay, AtomePay, Nestia UnionPay, CapitaStar, etc.

In cases where all the above are not available, I try to find all other ePayments.

Most parents go McDonalds frequently for their children.

There's a few ways to get some savings.

1. Look at promotion websites for promo codes.

2. Use McDonalds mobile application.

Enter promo codes, if any, from promotion websites.

Play the game daily to get new deal. Game resets daily at 12am SG Time.

Give feedback and get 1 reward. There's a limit of rewards you can get per month. Currently 5 times.

Most McDonalds deals require you to tie with a purchase. So, split up your purchases using the self-service kiosk.

For each purchase, you need to manipulate the amount based on where you are buying McDonalds from.

3. Use the relevant shopping mobile application based on which McDonalds you are at.

For heartland malls, use shopperlink. 

For established malls, use the real estate company's mobile application. Some big players' links above.

Every mall has their own terms and conditions. So, you have to find and read the sometimes long-winded text 😅.
