Crypto.com signup - free US$25 referral + SGD100 CRO promo (till 22 Sep 2021)


Exclusive for SG users from 6 Sep till 22 Sep 2021, crypto.com is giving the first 100,000 new users promo bonus of SG100. You can read more here: https://blog.crypto.com/mid-autumn-festival-new-user-promo/

Given their current attractive offer, I decided to sign up for an account using a referral link to maximise the rewards received (both referral reward of US$25 and SGD$100 Mid-Autumn promo), since sign-up bonus can only be taken once. 

PS: as with all crypto-related investments, risks applies. Pls DYODD!

If you're all ready to sign up, here's a quick guide.

Registration guide

1. Click on my referral link and you'd be brought to a page for sign-up. Enter the referral code below during sign-up. They will bring you to a page to download the app.

Note: by using my referral link, you will receive US$25 CRO coin. I will receive US$25 in CRO once you reserved a metal crypto.com visa card. Read more in S/N 2.

2. Upon logging in the app, if the referral code is not indicated, enter it again. 

  • To receive sign-up bonus of US$25, pls note that you will need to stake SGD$500 CRO coins
  • For more details, pls refer to the referral program here
  • As mentioned in blue font above, I am buying SGD$500 CRO since there's only one sign-up bonus in a lifetime 😂
  • Plus, staking SGD$500 worth of CRO coins gets me the Ruby Steel Visa card that'll give me 2% CRO cashback. There's also 12% cashback on groceries and even transport (more here).

3. Key in your details (take note to enter your full legal name).

4. Next, you'd be brought to a page informing you to standby your ID or passport.

5. Once you are done uploading your ID/passport and selfie, you will receive this prompt. I was expecting verification in 2-3 business day as they indicated....but I received a verification email within 10 minutes.
6. After seeing the verification success email, this was what greeted me in the app!
Proof of locked US$25 referral bonus

7. Interestingly, despite not having topped up anything yet, it showed me the US$25 referral bonus. This showed that my referral code was applied successfully! Note that to unlock this referral bonus, you will need to stake SGD$500 CRO coins. An email will inform you how much CRO coins is equivalent to this. 

SGD100 sign-up bonus

8. If you wish to only receive the SGD100 sign-up bonus, you just need to trade SGD100 worth of CRO! For my case, as mentioned above, by topping up SGD$500, I am unlocking both referral bonus of US$25 and SGD100. Plus, my intent is to receive the Ruby Steel Visa card for it's 2% cashback.

You can still get to earn the US$25 referral bonus once you top up to SGD500 worth of CRO so you can do this progressively/DCA in! 

How to purchase CRO coins 
You can also refer to their official guide here.

9. In order to purchase SGD$500 worth of CRO coins, click on Crypto.com coin and click "Buy CRO".

10. You can either purchase the CRO coins via Xfers or Credit Card. For my case, given that they have 3.5% fee waiver for the next 30 days, I am using credit card for the transaction. Enter your credit card details:

11. Once your details are entered, you can now purchase your coins! 

12. Remember the last step, to get the SGD100 bonus, you will need to fill up the form here!


Experience thus far
Sign-up was quick and seamless. UX of app is user-friendly. Topping up and payment was easy as well.

Looking forward to my bonus and application of my card! Stay tuned for the next update!

I finally cross $700k networth, after 1 year 4 months

I wondered how I should kickstart this post - should I be positive or negative about this? After 1 year 4 months, I finally crossed $700k in networth - returning back to where I've been at, back in Dec 2021.  I am disappointed.  For the past many years, I've always been growing my networth, at around $100-$150k/year. I had big plans to hit a net worth of $850k by December 2022, but the universe had other plans for me. Instead, I only managed to reach $646k, leaving me with a $204k gap to my target.  Ever since I became more aggressive in my "investment" portfolio in 2021, being sucked by greed to deploy most of my cash into stocks and crypto, I fell heavily, along with the crashes. Crypto wiped out 5 digits savings, so did the stock market.  To be honest, ever since the crashes and a bad hit to my net worth, I actually didn't do anything special to improve. I didn't make drastic spending cuts, I didn't stop my holidays, I didn't continue investing (no

What the luck? DBS and OCBC banking tokens died!

What luck. My ibanking tokens went dead one after another. OCBC Token First was my OCBC token. It said "low battery", but I ignored it. And when I finally need to use it, it was dead. Granted that I could use SMS OTP, I had to make a big transfer to other banks and it was over the withdrawal limits. And to do that, I needed the ibanking token. And serve me right for not activating the onetoken. In the end, I had to call in to OCBC call centre for a replacement. 7 working days, they said. What a long wait. In the midst of it, I needed to make my interbank transfers. I even went down to OCBC bank and explored a stupid manual way i.e to withdraw cash and deposit into the other bank. But the moment they told me they ran out of big notes, I got scared. While waiting for the token to arrive, I figured I could actually do transfers in smaller amounts, but had to bear with a daily cap. Sigh. And, one week later, my OCBC token arrived. How efficient. DBS token

Extremely bad start with UOB One

With the influx of posts on social media re UOB One (psst on grabpay) and the receipt of my house keys, I decided it was the time to sign up for a UOB One account plus credit card. It was gonna be the best tool for household joint expenses and joint savings. However, I've faced multiple hiccups that made me VERY frustrated....WHY ME?! 1. Delayed approving process led to losing out of sign up bonus First, I signed up for the UOB One card and Account in early Oct through Singsaver's promotion. The promotion said that I'd get to enjoy cash incentive for registration + UOB's promotion of $80 cash credit with min $1k spent within 30 days of card approval. Mind you, t hese terms were stated to end on 31 Oct , extracted below: S$80 Cash Credit for  UOB  One Account:  Limited to the first 500 new to  UOB  Deposits customers who either (i) deposit and maintain $5,000 or (ii) credit their salary, into their new  UOB  account for 6 consecutive months.
