Keyboarding Warriors

I would like to keep things positive on this blog channel. I have no sponsorships of any kind nor do I have any paid users. I keep this blog clean and with the objective of journalling and hopefully or eventually being able to monetise. Any referral or affiliate links are how I keep the lights on this blog going. My time, effort, domain, email, research and other miscellaneous costs are worth something. My rate card per hour is not cheap and when I say not cheap I mean it, it is not cheap.

Whatever I recommend or suggest, I don’t put a gun to anyone’s head to use it. One, like any investment decision – Do your own diligence. It gets under my skin when someone starts to blabber nonsense or type in comments online without using their brains. When I get angry or upset, no one messes with me and trust me – No one does. In my roles, I don’t give two hoots if your corporate rank or life acquires you a “managing director” or “CEO”, as long as you talk shit or do funny things, I shoot my missiles in that way. The toilet cleaner and the CEO are the same = Both Humans. Sometimes the toilet cleaner would make a better people person than the highly-paid CEO.

This is a free world. We are free to choose, free to select. Don’t undermine others of their selection and choices. If you have comments that don’t help, do the favour and keep it to yourself. Unless there is a solution, don’t just rattle. I’m so sick and tired of overconfident people who don’t even hear themselves and what they say. The worse part is, they still think that they are the best or better than the rest. It is a very dangerous mindset.

I’ve said what I said. I’ll end it here and move on positively. I’m just sad for those who don’t realise it but again, I don’t mince my words. Good luck.

Before we start, let me just say that this is an affiliated link and by doing some actions, you do help me in keeping the lights on this blog. Please do try the app out.

At the same time, I can track expenses and connect my banking apps. Today is the last day for the referral. You can sign up and refer your friends and family to get cash rewards too. Besides that point, the main aim is to use the friendly app for tracking personal expenses.

Consolidation

Consolidation is quite the generic word to use when we consider downsizing, restructuring and/or a natural progression some would say. Similar to any business or investing cycle, there are peaks and troughs across any period. Opportunities and investment ideas are fewer now. Low-hanging fruits are being snapped up quicker than ever before. Deals and good stuff will go out much faster in a phase where people are coming to the realisation that free money is going to be harder to come by.

This is apparent from the closure of the grab pay card (since GXS is there and it can do much better than what it originally can), credit card deals have more excluded components, nerfed perks and an increase in legal T&Cs on rewards. New payment cards have harder requirements to earn referral fees, and investment platforms have started to consolidate. With the way things are, it does look and feel like many are taking a cautious approach. People, families corporations and those with job would hold to ride through this mini storm which I call a transition or consolidation.

This also comes to fact from an unprecedented Covid travel closure which sparks an acceleration in a few sectors. Though many did not expect things to turn out that rough, they still did and made some industries redundant. In return, multiple new entrepreneurship sectors evolved, giving rise to other types of demand.

With that in mind, things will likely slow down in the next 3-6 months with the possibility of an extended period. Certainly, it would not be easy for those finding a good deal. It is however important to stay upbeat and be resilient. Things can only get better.

With that, Just to keep light on this small deal blog, check out the referral shop.

Google Pay 2024 Huat ALong – Huat Pals

This year, 2024, GPay has once again come back with Huat Pals, also renamed Huat Along. Get it? The event will take place from 6 Feb to 18 Feb 2024

With the social aspect of CNY back after the Covid years previously, there are some additional items that give you more opportunities to get more goodies. That said, it also means you have to make more effort to get more once again but it never fails to attract a big bunch of folks

Five new Huat Pals — Xixi Haha, Ah Bong, Macho Meow, Hop Pop and Souper Loong – will be added to welcome the Year of the Dragon. Collect a Huat Pal each time you complete any of the following actions on Google Pay.

Join the trading telegram group here: Join the new trading telegram group to trade and share your referral link: https://t.me/huatpalstrading

Step number one: You need to set up and download Google Pay for a start.

You can sign up for a new account here: g.co/payinvite/t74cf8f from your mobile app or use this link here at Download Google Pay you’ll earn $3 when you opt-in to Google Pay offers and rewards and make your first payment (min. $10)! Download the app and use my referral code t74cf8f to get started.

Next Step number two: You will need to understand how the mechanics work.

Now, different things tick with different folks so do what comforts you. Do take this article with a pinch of salt and a guide. If up to $88 worth of cash is not worth your effort then do proceed to do what comforts you and gets you more for your time. It should not make you anxious and keep your mind calm.

Once you have collected all 5 Pals you will win one of the following (It is random so please don’t over-react if you don’t get any):

  1. Scratch card worth up to S$88.88; or
  2. Google Pixel devices – Pixel P8 Pro worth $1,549
  3. Google Pixel devices – Pixel P8 worth $1,099
  4. Google Pixel devices – Pixel Buds Pro worth $299
  5. Google Pixel devices – Pixel Buds A-Series worth $149

As usual, gamification will attract throngs of people and only one rare item.

Once again, this game aims to have as much activity as possible. It isn’t a game of fastest fingers first so you kind of need to strategize and spend money in general.

Step number 3: Available and activity required to get goodies (This year there are more options) but also slightly more difficult to get it.

These are the same as what is in your app in the same order so GPay has nicely done it in a way that you can work on the tasks as if it is a list of times to fulfil daily.

A. PAYNOW to merchants (You can do it 1 time daily)

You need to spend a minimum of $5 to make this eligible. A small tip, any payment, or PayNow to business would work. In previous years, the reset timing was 10am. Not sure if that would be the same this time around. From what I understand, topping up to CPF, the shopee account works thus far.

If you do not have a YouTrip account. You can sign up here: via my referral link

You can get $5 when you top up your YouTrip card.

B. Make a FavePay transaction (You can do it 1 time daily)

In all honesty, this is pretty tough and you need to spend a minimum of $5 as well.

C. UBuy movie tickets on Google Pay(You can do it 1 time daily)

I’m not tot sure about you. I’ve have not been to the cinema in years.

D. Send money to a friend (You can do it 1 time daily)

Yup. As simple as it gets. You send money to a friend for $10 and the recipient must be a Google Pay user as well) I believe this is a new rule now.

E. Gift a goody to your friend (You can do it 5 times daily)

Finally, the last daily activity is to give your extra goodies to another friend (Aka trade) Those who know where to trade will know. It takes a bit of effort but yeah just enjoy the process. Join the new trading telegram group to trade and share your referral link: https://t.me/huatpalstrading

Step number 4: Additional game or photo taking or Huat Quiz daily

So random quizzes or daily requests such as taking photos of items will get you additional goodies and these come in random. These are known as Huat Scanner and Huat Quizzes. (It is a QR scanner and answering quizzes) My thoughts are similar to how Google search functions. The more you engage in the activity, the more these requests will pop up. Though random, there is some AI to it (i.e. robots related) We will not know but like any other games you played before, the more active you are, the more likely you are going to level up and do better. One additional aspect is a candy crush-style game in which one needs to score 450 or higher.

Whether it gets difficult, I’m not sure but let’s just have fun.

Side note, thank you google for the media announcement but perhaps you can send it to me earlier than the next event because my day starts, I have a day job and creating all these takes time and effort. You are always welcome to reach out to me to have a chat via my email. I’m happy to explore. Cheers anyway for providing media items so that I do not have to source for those on my own.

Conclusion

I can’t tell anyone this is worth your time to do all these because we have different values in terms of time and what it gives back to you. However, during the promotion period, there will be changes as Google work on bugs and several things to make sure that they can be as fair as possible to everyone. May luck be with you. Remember two things: The more you want something, the less it will come to you. (Because of the state of the mind) & This should not shun you away from doing the proper and real things in life that matters to you. (Be real, be yourself)

To Huat A Long Year and a better 2024 ahead. Cheers.

Another easy $5 from CapitaLand app

After all that hype and pretty good promotion AngPow vouchers for Lendlease Malls. I must say Capitastar pales in comparison. This is another easty$5 voucher from the CapitaLand app to get. It is little wonder that they are not even too concerned with the fact that their properties are located in areas that are pretty prime and have relatively decent or good location value. 

If you have not heard about the Lendlease promotion shopping app. Read my article here: Lendlease $20 free money. Hopefully you will still be in time for the promotion which is limited to 5000 sign ups.

Another easy $5 voucher from Capitaland and additional $5 on spending

Well, better than nothing. The initial quote is to go to the app click on profile on the top left, followed by Rewards for the code “LNY10OFF’

1. The initial $5 e-Capitastar voucher is only valid for 10 days and for the 1st 5,000 redemptions

Note that only 1 redemption per Eligible Shopper during the promotion period

2. The next 5 comes when you spend $100 at participating Capitamalls and for the 1st 500 redemptions per participating mall

Note that 1 redemption per Eligible Shopper, per mall, per day of the Promotion Period

Not fantastic but yeah, save while you can. If you do not have a Capitastar Shopping App, then you probably need to get one first in order to get those deals.

There’s no refer programme at the moment so probably get the one from the official app for a $5 sign up bonus by Capitastar themselves.

Capitastar Promotion T&Cs

Petrol Prices – Ways to Save Money On Petrol/Diesel

Just earlier today. I wrote a piece about saving money and I was reminded of petrol prices. Stay tuned until the end for a nice freebie at the end which is in limited stock.

Sometimes saving money is about not spending it at all or cutting back on what we commonly call an austerity measure. Usually, that is quite drastic and meant to be a joke of some sort. However, some things have to be spent, necessities or even things that you have previously committed to paying for. It is akin to having a car and petrol prices are directly linked to costs.

For Example:

  • You purchased a home. You can’t stop the mortgage
  • You purchased a car. You can stop the financing payments (If any) and the petrol costs or the charging costs.
  • You purchased a subscription plan that has a contractual period. You can’t stop the payment. (Well, you can do an early termination if it makes economic sense)

I don’t wish to keep discussing the increase in GST. In a sense, this increase is necessary for economic gains and country-building. Additionally, business costs have increased, snowballing effect of the laggard inflation and upcoming soft landing is becoming apparent.

Petrol Prices

Discussing petrol prices has always been contentious with people around here. Regardless of any discussion, the price is as such. On the Price Kaki website, there’s a comparison of petrol grade 95, 98 and Premium.

Petrol Prices
Petrol Prices: Petrol Grade 95 as of 12 Jan 23

Petrol Prices
Petrol Prices: Petrol Grade for 98 on 12 Jan 23

Petrol Prices
Petrol Prices: Petrol Grade for Premium on 12 Jan 23

In this year 2024, I wish to be able to bring joy to others as much as possible so in that aspect I have a good deal for anyone who drives a car and would like to get direct discounts from the petrol kiosk.

Don’t be confused and don’t be sceptical about it. It is a good deal and I have been using it for 9 months now so it is not a sham. I have a limited fleet card on hand at the moment and would like to offer to the first 5 pax who indicate their interest on google forms here: Fleet Card Interest Gathering and First 5 GIveaways.

One condition is to follow/subscribe to my blog and also to add my telegram channel here at Life Journey Telegram. Thank you!

The first lucky 5 gets it.

Rest assured, this information is for me to understand how to address you and share that information via email. I’m gathering some interest here so let me speak with the guys and see if we can release more slots for you.

Save on Petrol Prices – Pros

1. No age or salary restriction

This is not a credit card. Anyone who has a vehicle registered in Singapore has proof of address in Singapore and a credit card for recurring payment can apply for this. There’s no bank involved in this.

2. A physical card

It is a physical card at the moment and is only available to ESSO and SHELL kiosks in Singapore.

3. Fabulous Discount on petrol prices

Perks for this card are a direct 23% or 24% for SHELL and ESSO respectively.

4. No Complications. No minimum spend or Top Up

Away with the complications of minimum inclusive spending and potential discounts. To me, cold-hard discounts are the best since they are upfront discounts.

5. Ease of Payment on petrol

This fleet card works like a credit card and you need to set up a credit card payment to pay once a month.

6. Convenience

Once you have been registered by the company, you will get a pin and each time you visit the kiosk, just the card and you can skip the cashier queue. That’s really convenient.

7. Continue to earn credit card rewards/miles/cashback

Even more, discount via double dipping and still be rewarded with your credit card rewards.

Save on Petrol Prices – Cons

1. New to Many

I understand the scepticism but what have you got to lose other than savings for your petrol.

2. No accumulation of reward points on your petrol loyalty card

You don’t earn kiosk points or rewards that you have accumulated for some time. To me, there’s a cost to everything including reward points. Just finish up your points or claims and move on to something else. But you still earn reward points for your credit card (No exclusion for most cards – At least I still earn mine on my Premier Miles Card)

3. There will be a 1.8% fee for the credit card charges

I believe that they use Stripe as their provider so the B2B fees will be at 2.4% and they roll it to consumer at 1.8%, hence the discount will be All-in 21.2% or 22.2% which is still decent.

From what i understand, one can use the giro payment and it takes 4-8weeks to set it up. There’s no fee for that however if any one Giro payment fails, thats the $10 fee slapped on your bill for the GIRO return so think wisely. I think it is still good to go on credit card recurring payments.

How to Save Money? Tips and Tricks

Saving money is an essential aspect of personal finance. Implementing some smart strategies can help you build your savings and achieve your financial goals. Here are a few tips on how to save money:

Saving Money
A Rainy Day fund is more apparent in 2024 as we all set ourselves for the soft landing ahead

Create a Budget:

Start by reviewing your expenses and income. This will give you a clear picture of where your money is going and help you identify areas where you can cut back.

Track Your Expenses:

Keep a record of all your expenses, including small purchases. This will help you understand your spending patterns and identify areas where you can make adjustments.

The envelope theory involved stashing cash away in different envelopes. This helps with the first condition – budgeting. In this day and age, perhaps a better way is to use a digital app such as Dobin.

I’ve found the ultimate personal finance app: It helps to manage my money & save on everyday purchases.

Quote: Download the app here: https://www.dobin.io/download. You may use my referral code when you sign: ZUPUNWI 

Cut Back on Non-Essential Expenses:

Review your expenses and identify items or services that you can live without. Consider making small lifestyle changes such as reducing dining out or entertainment expenses.

If you really still plan to have these expenses to eat out. Perhaps playing the miles game as you spend to double dip on rewards.

Kris+ is a lifestyle rewards app that gives you discounts and privileges at over 1,000 partner outlets islandwide! Earn rewards (KrisPay miles) for payments made on the app, and use them to offset future purchases!

Quote: Sign up now with my link below, and my referral code L329518 and we’ll each be rewarded with SGD 5 worth of KrisPay miles upon your first transaction on the Kris+ App 

Don’t forget to check in daily every week to earn about 30 KrisPay Miles. Meanwhile, you can also utilize Google Pay to make payments via Krist+.

Quote: Use my code when you sign up and transact at least S$10 for the first time in Google the  e Pay App or use my code t74cf8f

Meal Planning:

Plan your meals ahead of time and create a grocery list. This will help you avoid unnecessary trips to the store and impulse purchases. Look for sales and use coupons to save on groceries.

The CDC vouchers should do most household some good and defray some costs. More about that here if you have not claimed yours. Claiming your CDC Vouchers

Save on Utilities:

Make small changes in your daily habits to save on energy costs. Turn off lights when not in use, unplug electronics when not in use, and adjust the thermostat to optimize energy usage.

Perhaps switching to an Open Electricity Market retailer can save you  10-15% off your electricity bills.

Quote: Sign up for Senoko Energy with my referral code: “YM8SCA2D”. You will receive a S$20 rebate on your electricity bill. Browse their price plans and start saving today. T and Cs apply. Senoko is your electricity retailer

Compare Prices:

Before making a purchase, compare prices from different vendors or stores. This can help you find the best deals and save money.

Saving Money
Double or Triple Dip for More Savings

 

For comparison’s sake, if you are exchanging a foreign currency for any purpose. You can try iChange for money exchange and remittance.

Quote: Their rates are very competitive. Sent $5 for you to try it out. Download the app here https://ichange.onelink.me/Px1i/iyv9ymrr and add paul38 to receive it.  

Alternatively, if you want the convenience of using multi-currency cards, there are three options that you can consider. You get the idea.

  1. You Trip Personal User: Get $5 when you sign up. Sign up with my referral link: Personal YouTrip (Valid until 4 Feb 2024)
  2. The other option is to perhaps consider using a Revolut Card as an alternative and you can get $80 when you make three $10 transactions:  My Revolut Referral Link
  3. Quote 3: Use this Crypto.com App to sign up for Crypto.com and we both get USD 50. Code: im3py887ty

Automate Your Savings:

Set up automatic transfers from your checking account to a dedicated savings account. This way, you’ll save money consistently without having to think about it.

Other than a bank standing instruction, the alternative is to use Money Market Funds for either:

  1. Using Tiger Brokers as a platform to sign up to make that regular saving.
  2. The other option is to select another provider such as Moomoo Brokerage Invest App for a great welcome starter kit here at Moomoo Invest App
  3. The third option is to select Webull and get your starter kit promotion. Click here to register at Webull Sign-up link

Avoid Impulse Buying:

Before making a purchase, give yourself a cooling-off period. This will help you evaluate if the purchase is necessary or if you’re buying on impulse. As the saying goes, delayed gratification. Any new tech is always appealing and after a while, it loses its appeal.

Cancel Unnecessary Subscriptions:

Review your subscriptions and cancel those you no longer use or need. This could include streaming services, gym memberships, or magazine subscriptions[1].

Prioritize Debt Repayment:

If you have outstanding debts, focus on paying them down. High-interest debts, such as credit card debts, should be prioritized and paid off as quickly as possible.

Remember, saving money is a gradual process, so be patient with yourself. Small changes can add up over time and lead to significant savings. By implementing these tips, you’ll be on your way to building a more secure financial future.

Earning Rewards and Miles on your Credit Cards

Travel season is back and I have been reading up quite a bit about the miles and cashback camp. The last two years, void of travelling were purely a cashback play from many folks except some whom believed that it would all go away. It really depends on how one views rewards because some of those payments are excluded from earning any form of miles or cashback.

With the introduction of a fee-based payment, these rewards come at a price. CardUp used to be a game changer in that sense because rents could be paid and rewards could be earned at the same time. Similar to many companies, they throw out marketing dollars so that people get to know their brand and use their proprietary systems. With the data they have, they can then find out more about people’s behaviour, and make marketing trends that keep the stickiness in clients to continue to use their platform.

Earning Rewards
Earn to Business or Economy

Credit Card Rewards & Earning Rewards

I’m no exception. I used to be the kind where I would not spend more to earn more rewards. As time went by, I realised that buying miles or arbitrage on cashback difference does make sense for me. My insurance, MCST payments, tax, property tax and other exclusions can now be added to my miles game or cashback. This is pretty awesome if you ask me. Paying and earning the rewards seems to make sense to me today.

I still wasn’t sure what kind of changed me and I constantly paid a small fee to gain that reward which all amounts to nothing previously.

Who and what is card?

CardUp is on a mission to provide individuals and businesses with a better way to pay and get paid. CardUp operates regionally across Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia as a major payment institution

If I recall rightly, some time last year they were acquired by funding societies

With CardUp, you can now make and collect payments digitally, including with a credit card, even in places where cards are traditionally not accepted. Some of the items that you can make payments to will be:

  • Insurance
  • MCST Fees
  • Rent and Rental Deposit
  • Education
  • Car Loans
  • Miscellaneous Payments
  • Domestic Workers salary
  • Taxes and Stamp Duty
  • Season Parking
  • Electricity Bills

I personally forgot about them until they sent me a reminder about the property tax season. It was a pretty decent deal at a 1.75% fee that has no cap. It is not a sponsored post but if you have not had a CardUp account do check it out. If you need any help to understand more, just drop me an email.

Use my code when you sign up at this CardUp Link or use my referral code PAULL34.

Earning Rewards
Earning Rewards and Miles is a long game and can be rewarding

Meanwhile, thank you for reading here. I am working on something and I might have something interesting out by tomorrow to get a direct 23% off your petrol bills at ESSO without any minimum spending in the form of a fleet card. I probably will avail it to 5 readers for a start before I request more of such deals. Those who drive and want to save all the hassle of saving petrol. It is a simple sign-up process so keep a lookout for it.

New Year, New Start in 2024

Before we start on anything for 2024. I would first apologize for disappearing for a full year. I was fully focused on getting my career on track to only lead to a single result. The end result is actually disappointment, anger, and fear. I ask for peace and hence over it. I am keen on moving forward and this is actually good for me.

Everyone is different

My situation can be similar or different from many others. One can choose to focus on the negative aspects or the positives. This year, I will try my best to constantly blog more, and provide more deals, promotions, and thoughts about stuff. Provide more referral sources to find out about life hacks and travel more.

Doesn’t this picture make you happy?

We keep looking into blogs, about deals, life, investments, about promotions. It all begins with one thing, you need to have the basic necessities of life. Food, drinks, bills that you pay. If a certain segment does not fit where you are heading or takes some time to reach, just ignore it and focus on your current situation.

Work on it until you have built your emergency funds up. Inflation today has dropped but it is not a joke, prices will not drop even if there is a deflation (Unlikely so) However, I do personally think that interest rates might just drop drastically – This has already been priced in in the most recent treasury bills and SSB. Personal Finance consists of many parts, some choose to focus on P&L while others focus on finding great deals.

What is Personal Finance to you?

For me, personal finance is a game of psychology. It is how one deals with another person’s boasts or proof of what works for them. I do not see red over others and I actually would celebrate their achievement. My only gripe is that everyone is different and one does know another’s situation. So, my ask here of you if you are humbly reading my posts is that. If you have excess cash, good for you, you can seek better and more deals. If you are of a humble background, a fresh graduate, or someone in a situation.

Don’t fret. Many people are in the same situation – You just need to be aware of the situation you are in. Drop the “I’m unlucky, I’m old, I’ve to restart” stigma. Age is just a number and your situation is only temporary. However, if you continue your rut and continue to be unhappy then I can only say that you’ll take a longer period to get out. You will eventually.
