Who Can Use the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers?

These vouchers are given to those who fulfil the following criteria: 

• Singapore citizens 
• 18 years old and above in 2020

Children and youths under 18 years old are not eligible for the $100 SingapoRediscovers Vouchers – but fret not! Adult Singaporeans can get up to six subsidised children and youth tickets for local attractions and tours, at $10 off per ticket.

Note that if you’re an eligible adult Singaporean has used up all your vouchers, you won’t be able to redeem the subsidised child/youth tickets. So make sure you have enough balance (min $10) left if you want to get subsidised rates!

When Can I Use the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers? 

The vouchers can be used either separately or all at once all the way from 1st December 2020 (collection date) till 30th June 2021. Do plan ahead and schedule your trips! 

How To Use the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers?

Queuing can be quite a pain, but the good news is: you don’t have to collect these vouchers physically. The vouchers can be collected via SingPass from 1 December 2020. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up for one here.

Step-By-Step Guide to redeem SingapoRediscovers Vouchers on SingPass

Here’s how to use and redeem the vouchers online:

1. Browse experiences with booking partners approved by the Singapore Tourism Board (partners include: Klook, Trip.com, Changi Recommends, GlobalTix, and Traveloka)
2. Add your desired item to your cart
3. Click on ‘Use SingapoRediscovers Vouchers’ at checkout page
4. Login via SingPass here and choose the redeem amount (again, in denominations of $10)
5. If you are purchasing child/youth tickets for family members aged below 18 – remember to add in their details to receive $10 subsidies per child/youth
6. Copy the generated code and paste it on the checkout page
7. Complete the checkout process within 10minutes to complete the booking!

Note that vouchers come in denominations of $10. So any unused vouchers will be wasted.

Let’s say your ticket is $15 and you use $20 vouchers (2 x $10) – that $5 is wasted. Tip: Use the $10 ticket and top up $5 with your own money to make the most bang for your buck. If you need help to set up your SingPass account or reset your password, refer to the official step-by-step guides here.

Can I redeem the vouchers from physical counters?

Yes. There will be 69 locations across Singapore provided by authorized booking partners – including 30 by Changi Recommends, 23 by GlobalTix, and 16 by Klook and UOB Travel. For the full-list of physical counters, refer to the sheet here. 

That being said, we highly recommend browsing the packages online via SingPass. This makes the redemption process a lot quicker too. 

Can I redeem the vouchers for my friends/family members/partner?

Unfortunately, the vouchers can only be redeemed via SingPass and cannot be redeemed on behalf of others – family members included. However, do help your friends and family members redeem their vouchers via SingPass especially if they’re not as tech-savvy.

Can I combine or stack my vouchers with my friends/family members/partner?

The vouchers cannot be combined or stacked with a family member, friend, or partner since they are meant for personal use. But you are definitely encouraged to visit local attractions and activities with your loved ones!

Can I transfer or sell my vouchers?

Nope. This is to prevent fraud and other kinds of abuses. Also remember not to share your SingPass information with anyone. Keep your older family members notified and remind them not to click on links or messages that direct them to suspicious portals. Especially if the sus-looking source is coming from Whatsapp University.

Can I use my vouchers on F&B or retail stores?

Generally no. However, if the retail and F&B stores are part of an approved package including a hotel stay, attraction visit, or tour – then they may be used. The packages must ensure that the F&B or retail expenditures are incurred during the same period as the hotel stay, attraction visit, or tour.

For example, you purchase a 2-Days-1-Night Staycation hotel package on Klook, and the package includes dining benefits at a hotel restaurant. Then, you can spend it on that particular restaurant.

Where Can I Spend the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers on?

The five authorized booking partners of the vouchers scheme are:

• Klook
• Trip.com
• Changi Recommends by Changi Travel Services (CTS)
• GlobalTix
• Traveloka
