The best credit card 1-for-1 deals are on hotel buffets where the savings per person are highest. Check your bank's dining page monthly for updated restaurant lists.

Restaurant-Own 1-for-1 Promos

Credit Card Dining Cashback

The right credit card turns every restaurant visit into a savings opportunity. Here are the top dining credit cards in Singapore — you can compare dining credit cards on SingSaver to find the best fit. For a detailed comparison, see our credit card dining deals guide.

HIGHEST CASHBACK

Citi Cash Back+ Card

1.6% unlimited cashback on everything, including dining. No categories to track, no caps, no minimum spend. The simplest option if you do not want to manage multiple cards.

DBS Woman's Card

Up to 10x rewards on dining. Converts to approximately 4% cashback equivalent or 4 miles per dollar on dining transactions. Best for miles collectors who dine out frequently.

UOB Lady's Card

10x UNI$ on dining, beauty, and fashion (up to 4 miles per dollar). Strong dining rewards plus access to UOB's exclusive dining privileges programme with up to 50% off at partner restaurants.

Best Buffet Deals

Hotel buffets are a Singapore institution, but they can be expensive at full price. Here is how to eat at top buffets without breaking the bank. For the full roundup, check our 1-for-1 buffet deals guide.

Weekday Lunch Buffets

The biggest secret in Singapore dining: weekday lunch buffets are 30–40% cheaper than weekend dinner buffets at the same hotel. Many 5-star hotel buffets drop to $40–$60++ per person on weekday lunch versus $70–$100++ for weekend dinner. The food spread is usually the same or very similar.

Book Through Klook or Chope

Platforms like Klook dining and Chope offer pre-booked buffet vouchers at 10–20% off walk-in prices. Stack these with credit card dining cashback for additional savings. See our Klook deals guide for bank promo codes that work on dining bookings.

Credit Card 1-for-1 Buffets

Several credit cards offer 1-for-1 buffet promotions at major hotels. DBS, OCBC, and UOB regularly run these deals. A 1-for-1 buffet effectively halves the per-person cost, making even premium hotel buffets affordable. Check our buffet deals guide for the current list of credit card buffet promotions.

Food Delivery Promos

Food delivery is convenient but the fees add up. These strategies keep delivery costs down. For all current codes, see our food delivery promo codes guide.

GrabFood

Use GrabUnlimited subscription ($5.99/month) for free delivery on all orders. Stack with credit card-specific GrabFood codes and ShopBack cashback. Check the Grab app's “Promos” tab daily for new codes.

foodpanda

pandapro subscription offers free delivery and exclusive discounts. New user codes typically give 40–50% off first 3 orders. foodpanda also runs daily flash vouchers at noon and 6 PM.

Deliveroo

Deliveroo Plus ($12.90/month) offers free delivery and member-only deals. Best for restaurant chains and higher-end dining delivery. Credit card partnerships (especially with HSBC) offer additional discount codes.

Stacking tip: Click through ShopBack before opening GrabFood or foodpanda to earn 1–5% cashback. This stacks with in-app promo codes and credit card rewards for triple savings on every order.

Dining Deal Platforms

Beyond credit cards and food delivery apps, these platforms specialise in restaurant deals and can save you money on dine-in meals.

Burpple Beyond

$69/year for unlimited 1-for-1 deals at 500+ restaurants. The best platform for frequent diners. Works for dine-in only. Covers cafes, restaurants, and some bars. Average savings of $15–$30 per visit.

Chope Deals

Chope offers discounted dining vouchers (typically 10–20% off face value) and set menu deals. Also earns Chope-Dollars on every reservation. The Chope app is best for higher-end restaurants where the per-voucher savings are most meaningful.

Klook Dining

Klook's dining section features buffet vouchers, set meals, and dining credits at hotel restaurants and popular chains. Often 10–20% cheaper than walk-in prices. Stack with Klook bank promo codes for additional savings on top.

ShopBack GO

Link your card in the ShopBack app and earn 3–10% cashback at participating restaurants automatically. No need to show the app — just pay with the linked card and cashback tracks automatically. Check the “Near Me” tab for nearby restaurants.

Affordable Eats Under $10

You do not always need a promo code to eat well in Singapore. The city's hawker centres and food courts remain some of the best-value eating in Asia.

Hawker Centres

Singapore has over 100 hawker centres serving meals from $3–$6. Michelin-starred hawker stalls like Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken and Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle serve meals under $8. Hawker centres are also air-conditioned-free, so no GST or service charge applies. For visitors, check out our guide to free things to do in Singapore which includes a section on hawker culture.

Food Court Value Meals

Mall food courts offer air-conditioned dining at near-hawker prices ($5–$9). Chains like Kopitiam, Foodfare, and Koufu run loyalty card programmes with 10–20% discounts for seniors and frequent diners. Many food courts also accept credit cards, letting you earn cashback on everyday meals.

Lunch Set Deals

Many restaurants offer lunch sets at 30–50% less than their dinner prices. Japanese restaurants, Western bistros, and hotel restaurants frequently have lunch specials under $15. These are the same dishes, smaller portions in some cases, but at much lower prices. Worth exploring on workdays.

Money-Saving Dining Tips

Dine During Off-Peak Hours

Some restaurants offer early bird (before 6 PM) or late-night (after 9 PM) discounts of 10–20%. Japanese chains like Genki Sushi and Itacho Sushi often have off-peak pricing.

Skip the Drinks

Restaurant beverages are marked up 200–400%. A $2 canned drink from a convenience store becomes $6–$8 at a restaurant. Stick to water (which must be served free on request in Singapore) and save $5–$15 per meal.

Use the Right Payment Method

Stack your dining credit card + ShopBack GO + any 1-for-1 deal for maximum savings. For food delivery, go through ShopBack first, apply a promo code, and pay with a cashback card. This three-layer stack can save 15–25% on every order.

Check WhyNotDeals Before Dining Out

Before heading to a restaurant, quickly check our deals page and category pages for any active promotions at that restaurant or chain. It takes 30 seconds and could save you $5–$20.
