Singaporeans can save even more on hotel bookings with these Agoda credit card promotions. Use them for your next holiday!

First published on 14 July 2016. Credit card promotions updated as of 2 November 2016.

2016 is coming to its tail end, but there’s still plenty of time for you to finalise your December holiday. Take advantage of special deals by booking your trip early, and consider using a credit card to do so – there’s a chance you can get a discount on your hotel booking!

To help you with your planning, we’ve rounded up all the Agoda credit card promotions in Singapore.

1. UOB Credit Cards: Up to 8% Off Hotels in Japan and Korea

You’ll get 8% off selected hotels in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) and Korea (Seoul, Busan and Jeju Island) if you book online, for a stay period until 31 Mar 2017. Take note that you have to make the booking within the month of November 2016 to take advantage of this promotion.

For hotel bookings anywhere else, you can get 7% off hotel bookings worldwide when you use a UOB Platinum card (which include PRVI Miles, YOLO, Lady’s Card, and Delight Card). All other UOB credit cards get an additional 5% off hotels. This promotion is only valid for bookings made up till 31 December 2016, though.

We recommend using the UOB YOLO Card to book your trip, as you can earn 3% rebate when you book on Agoda. It also comes with a generous 8% weekend dining rebate plus a number of 1-for-1 restaurant deals.

This can save you as much as S$60 per month when you eat out in Singapore and book your hotel!

前女佣被指偷窃终得平反 法官质疑廖文良一家指控存“不当意图”

46岁的印尼籍女佣巴蒂·莉雅妮(Parti Liyani),为樟宜机场集团主席廖文良工作近九年,不幸在2016年10月28日被裁退。 巴蒂被裁后,当天就返回印尼。不料雇主廖文良父子却在两日后报警,指控巴蒂偷走5万元财物,包括价值2.5万元名表、Prada的名牌包和Gucci墨镜等。 这也导致巴蒂在2016年12月返回新加坡时,在樟宜机场被逮捕。2019年3月,巴蒂被国家法院判罪名成立,并判坐牢两年两个月,前者选择上诉。 根据2018年8月的《新明日报》报导,当时廖文良在法庭供证时,甚至指出家里东西一再不见,家里当时只有他、妻子以及女佣,如果东西不是他和妻子偷的,女佣嫌疑最大。 廖文良声称不想继续冒险,所以妻子才辞退了巴蒂。廖自称除非出问题,否则自己不轻易开除员工,也指秘书和司机都已和他共事多年。 然而,今年9月4日,高庭推翻了国家法院的判决,改判巴蒂无罪。高庭法官陈成安甚至表示,有理由相信廖文良为了阻止女佣到人力部投诉,所以廖家父子先发制人,突然解雇女佣,不让后者有时间去人力部,并指控后者偷窃。 廖启龙自称有“穿女装习惯”? 至于廖文良儿子廖启龙,还被法官点名“不诚实的控方证人”,例如,廖启龙称失窃的女性衣物属于他的,而不是女佣的,甚至自称有穿女性衣物的习惯,说辞令人难以相信。 根据《联合早报》报导,所谓“赃物”移交警局过程也存在疑点,特别是廖家声称开箱检查女佣留下的三大箱子,并报警后,警方未立即取走证物。五周后女佣被捕,警方才上门再拍摄证物照片,廖家人才把失窃物品放回箱里。法官认为整个过程都出现混肴,甚至无法凭这些证物定罪巴蒂。 随着巴蒂上诉得直,使得包括总检察署、人力部和警方等各造,才表示将研讨是否采取进一步行动。 巴蒂申诉被非法调他处工作…
