Shop Till You Drop: The 5 best loyalty programmes for shopaholics
Love shopping? Then you’ll want to sign up for these membership programmes ASAP!
Apart from eating, it’s no secret that the other national sport that Singaporeans excel in is shopping. Barely a month goes by without a new retail store setting up shop in the country that has been described as one big shopping mall, with the retail frenzy culminating in the eight-week Great Singapore Sale that happens every year.
From mega-malls to niche boutiques, duty-free shops and nigh market thrifts, Singapore is undoubtedly Asia’s most diverse shopping paradise and if you, like any good Singaporean, love a good bargain, then you’ll want to sign up for these membership programmes to get first dibs on all the latest offers and incredible shopping perks!
