Part 2 - Crypto.com perks and why I signed up


One week left till the Crypto.com sign-up bonus of SGD$100!

If you're clueless what I'm talking about, you can read more in my earlier post about the exciting promotion along with the registration guide.

Why Crypto.com?

In a bid to make things clearer, I've created a graphic map of WHY a crypto.com account is useful and attractive for me with the boxes ticked as being most relevant for me



1. Sign-up promo (SGD100 + NFT) + Referral promo

Without a doubt, the main impetus to sign up an account was the SGD100 promotion. 

By being the first 100,000 new users to purchase SGD $100 CRO, I would get an equivalent SGD $100 CRO reward. 

Plus, I'd get my very first NFT “Lion Mooncake”. Curious to know how it looks like!

To maximise the rewards, I decided to stake SGD $500 CRO so that I can unlock the referral bonus of US$25 as well.

Total reward pending:
  • S$100 CRO from Mid-Autumn promo + $33 (equiv to US$25) CRO from referral code  = $133
  • Lion Mooncake NFT to be unveiled. Pls follow their steps on how to create your NFT account. It's very straightforward.

2. Metal Visa Cashback card

A) Metal card for vanity

I already knew of CRO visa card existence but didn't find the urge to sign up. Now that I've signed up for crypto.com, and topped up SGD$500 CRO, I am now eligible for the Ruby Steel card!


B) 2% cashback on spending, local or overseas. With no minimum or maximum spending required.

I am not a hardcore music listener, so despite the reimbursed spotify funds, I will not be making use of this perk under the Ruby Steel tier.

That said, the 2% cashback (note that the returns come back in CRO coins which means value will fluctuate) will come in useful. 

Transactions made under these merchant categories or channels are excluded from the CRO Rewards program: digital wallets, digital banking services, crypto exchanges, stored value products, money remittance services, security brokers/dealers, insurance sales, underwriting and premiums, tax payments, government services, financial institutions, POI funding transactions, quasi cash, money orders - wire transfers.
C) Promotion of up to 12% cashback for groceries


One eye popping perk of their visa card is the cashback for groceries. This beats MANY credit cards hands down. Unfortunately, the promotion ends 30 Sept 2021. I hope they'll extend or roll out better offers for new users!

You can read more about the existing promotions here. 

3. Supercharger event - mining tokens

You might ask - what's the use of CRO coins? Beyond its appreciation of value, you'd be able to mine tokens with a minimum of 100 CRO.

At time of writing, there are AXS, BTC, SHIB, ENJ coins available. I've used a small part of my CRO to mine for AXS.

For more elaborate info on this, you may refer to their link here.

Referral reward

I hope this post gives you a better insight on the practical aspect of the CRO account/card. If you find the info useful, do sign up for the account before 22 Sept 2021 via my referral link or code here! You will get US$25 referral reward with S$500 CRO purchase (you dont have to buy it in one shot) and S$100 promotion with S$100 CRO purchase.

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.

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.
