The best credit card for dining cashback goes to OCBC 365 Credit Card which offers an attractive 6% cash rebate for everyday dining locally and overseas as well as online food delivery. The same card offers high potential savings of 24% on petrol as well as a useful 3% cashback on recurring telco bills and groceries. Total cashback is capped at $80 a month and a reasonable minimum monthly spend of $800.
Comparatively, Maybank Family & Friends Card which was previously the best card for dining has altered its terms to restrict its high 8% cashback for fast food and online food delivery only. The same card still offers 8% cashback for petrol and groceries in Singapore and Malaysia as well as recurring telco and contactless bus and train spendings. This card can still be useful for dining if the cardholder orders online food delivery and fast food often.
