New collection for my wallet

After away for 2 weeks, look like I've got some snail mails with some hard object in it. Guess what, my NTUC discount and SPG member card finally arrived. I can still remember freshly when I first came here, I always ask NTUC counter for application form but they always give me the one with credit card facility which I don't want. All I wanted is just a plain NTUC card where I can accumulate points for redemption of free goods (to save money as well). After a year here, finally I manage to get that as I finally saw a counter near Hougang Fair Price giving out application form for just NTUC card ;)

In fact, their benefit not only the point collection system but they also provide free insurance and discounts for some resort/hotel within SG and every month they will only deduct $8 straight from my bank account. So I've finally signed up and they gave me this temporary card (which I don't really want to use as it look so fake and cheapskate) :p

Since my weekly grocery shopping isn't that high, so better wait for the real 'thing' before using it right? Like now, I have real SOLID card and at least won't feel paiseh anymore :p

With this, I can now book any Costa Sands resort/hotel at discounted price (including in Sentosa). I know it's not a great hotel but the deal is good (guess $120+ per night). On the other hand, I applied this SPG (Starwood Perferred Guest) before I flew to Sydney couple of months back because they have a promo where you'll get a night stay if you booked min 3 days consecutively and so happen I was staying 4 days that time. Too bad the promo just ended when I got there and have to cancel my extension as I'm not keen to spend too much for just one extra night. Hopefully I can use it another time in the near future.
