Through one of the 5 booking platforms and using SingPass
Singaporeans aged 18 and above will receive the $100 SingapoRediscovers vouchers to spend on tourist attractions, hotels and tours from 1 Dec 2020 to 30 Jun 2021. There are over 200 merchants and Singaporeans can redeem their vouchers with 5 of STB's authorised booking partners - Klook, Traveloka, Changi Recommends, Trip.com and Global Tix.
To get the digital vouchers, set up your SingPass account (if you haven't!). You will get the vouchers on your SingPass from 1 Dec 2020, which you can redeem at any one of the 5 authorised booking platforms. All you have to do is book the activities as per normal on the platforms and you'll be prompted to use your SingapoRediscovers Vouchers when checking out.
Physical touchpoints
As much as the government encourages all Singaporeans to set up their SingPass, physical touchpoints will be set up across Singapore for people who might need help making their bookings, especially seniors. Physical counters will be set up and there will be at least one redemption point in each public housing estate and around 40 community centres. For those of you who have less digitally-savvy friends, family or seniors, do help them to redeem the vouchers online as far as possible.
Can you combine your SingapoRediscovers Vouchers with others to make a purchase?
No, you won't be able to stack or combine your vouchers with others to make redemptions. This is because the aim of the vouchers is to help the local tourism industry so you're encouraged to spend it at different places.
