This is a well-structured campaign that actually rewards you meaningfully for international travel.
Reward Structure
The campaign has three stackable reward tiers:
1. Base 0.5% Reward: Earn 0.5% on every eligible in-person POS purchase or ATM cash withdrawal at any of the select destinations. For example, a USD 100 ATM withdrawal in the US earns you USD 0.50 in reward value, converted to INR at the VisaNet settlement rate.
2. Additional 10% Reward: Earn an extra 10% on top of the base reward when you either (a) Tap to Pay using Google Pay or Samsung Pay, or (b) spend at listed Visa Partner merchants in the select destinations. So a SGD 100 Tap to Pay transaction in Singapore gives you SGD 10.50 in total rewards (10% + 0.5%).
3. Jetsetter Milestone Bonus (10%): Unlock a one-time 10% bonus on your first INR 1,00,000 in eligible spends once you complete at least 20 eligible transactions in the select destinations during the campaign. This is stackable on top of the above rewards, making it especially lucrative for frequent travellers.
The 0.5% base reward is modest on its own, but the 10% additional reward on Tap to Pay or Visa Partner merchants pushes it to a very solid 10.5% return.
Add the milestone bonus for heavy spenders and it gets even better, up to INR 50,000 in rewards per card is a generous cap.
So if you spend 1L INR equivalent by stacking these offers, you would earn 20.5% in rewards, on top of the credit card rewards program.
Visa Partner Merchants
The 10% additional reward is available at several popular merchants across the select destinations as below:
- Singapore: Grab, Klook, Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios Singapore, Lotte Duty Free (Changi Airport), Mustafa Centre, Resorts World Sentosa, Skyline Luge Sentosa, and Oceanarium.
- Thailand: Grab, Klook, King Power Duty Free, Gourmet Market, and Safari World Bangkok.
- UAE: Klook and Bolt rides.
- France, UK, USA & Vietnam: Klook.
Note that only in-store purchases qualify at most merchants. Online hotel bookings don’t count unless booked directly on rwsentosa.com.
Bottomline
Overall, a noteworthy campaign directly from Visa, as it’s rare to see rewards at this scale available across all Visa cards regardless of the issuing bank.
If you’re travelling to any of the select destinations before September and hold a Visa Card, this is worth activating.
