We’ve established in an earlier article that Singaporeans spent the most on food and beverages. And if you conflate groceries into the same category (well… it’s all food and drinks if you think about it), travel-related purchases, as well as fashion & beauty, are tied for second place.

And the results might surprise you little…

What Happened During The 10.10 Perfect 10 Sale
With upsized cashback and exclusive deals on merchants like Qoo10, Shopee, Fave, and Zalora (just to name a few). We saw a 200% increase in traffic on 10 October!
We also noticed that a majority of ShopBack customers were shopping on their mobile devices. Probably the best thing to do during those long MRT rides home, besides praying that nothing will happen…

Here’s how much we spent on average during the 10.10 Perfect 10 Sale.
But the most surprising thing was that the highest cashback earned was a staggering $870.90! And it could probably be attributed to the booking of hotels and flights while making full use of upsized cashback campaigns and promos on merchants like Booking.com, Expedia, and Klook.
We also delved a little deeper and found out that these were the most popular destinations, products, and merchants!
