Cashback for purchases via DBS PayLah at hawker stalls and heartland shops returns from July 12, Lifestyle News
Singaporeans and residents can once again enjoy cashback at hawker stalls, wet markets and heartland shops when using the DBS PayLah app to scan and pay for their purchases. The offer will run every Saturday from July 12 till Sept 27 and is part of the DBS/POSB's efforts to commemorate Singapore's 60th birthday, it said in a statement on Sunday (June 29). The first 160,000 people to use PayLah when paying at more than 22,000 participating hawker stalls, wet markets and heartland shops are set to enjoy up to $3 cashback. A POSB Support Our Heartland Shops wobbler — a round tag attached to a strip — will be displayed at participating shops and stalls while hawker stalls that are SGQR-code enabled will display the PayLah Scan to Pay sticker. Over the next three months, the bank will offer some two million cashback rewards that Singaporeans and residents can redeem for their purchases in the heartlands via the app. Furthermore, participating food and beverage outlets will offer 60-cent meal deals in a promotion running from July 1 to Sept 30. Participating outlets include local favourites such as Old Chang Kee, BreadTalk and Toast Box. These deals are available via the POSB Everyday Card and PAssion POSB Debit Card. From Aug 1, DBS/POSB credit cardmembers can redeem their DBS Points and POSB Daily$ for new Rewards Flexi eVouchers on PayLah and spend them at any merchant with a valid Nets SGQR code. From Aug 1 to Sept 30, DBS cardmembers who redeem 6,000 DBS Points in exchange for a $60 DBS Rewards Flexi eVoucher will receive an additional $60 cashback. According to DBS, more than 70 per cent of payments made via PayLah Scan to Pay are for food and groceries from heartland shops and hawker stalls. Among those who redeem the cashback rewards, 39 per cent were seniors and/or earning less than $2,500 a month. In the June 29 statement, Lim Him Chuan, DBS' Singapore country head, described the reception to their weekly cashback initiative as encouraging. He added: "We are grateful for our customers' steadfast support over the years and believe that bringing back this initiative for SG60 further reaffirms our commitment to standing by them and driving inclusive growth of our heartlands. "Through our entire suite of support measures, we seek to ease living and business costs, as well as enhance the well-being of our society by making everyday moments a little more special and meaningful for everyone."
