Agoda processes as a travel-agency merchant (MCC 4722) on most SG cards, qualifying for the travel-category bonus tier. Multiple banks layer extra miles on top when you book through their branded travel portal — direct Agoda earns the standard travel rate; portal booking can earn 2-3x more but priced inventory may differ slightly. Compare total cost (price × FCY × rewards) before deciding.
HSBC
8 mpd (20 RP per S$1) on Eligible Transactions for HSBC Everyday Global accountholders with ≥ S$50K balance (Mar 2026 restoration per Milelion 2026 strategy). Categories and S$1,000 cap mirror hsbc-11-bonus-1; relationship gate enforced by engine filterRatesMapByRelationship — rate is dropped when userProfile.bank_relationships doesn't include 'hsbc_ega_50k'.

OCBC
7 mpd (= 7% cash rebate equivalent) on Agoda — 35 90°N miles per S$5 spent, uncapped. Booking via the 90°N Travel Portal at travel.ocbc.com. 1 90°N Mile = 1 KrisFlyer Mile or 1% cashback equivalent. Earn awarded per S$5-increment of transaction value (sub-S$5 remainder discarded).
These are the objective top picks. Perqa narrows them to the cards in your wallet and tracks your spend so you always use the right one.
Try Perqa — freeThrough the bank portal (HSBC TravelOne, Citi PremierMiles, etc.) for the bonus mileage layer. Direct Agoda earns the standard travel-MCC rate on your card but misses the partnership multiplier. Trade-off: portal sometimes shows a slightly higher price; compare total cost (price × FCY × rewards).
Depends on the rate type you select. "SGD pay now" rates bill in SGD (no FCY fee). "Pay at hotel" bills in the local currency at checkout, which triggers your FCY fee. SGD prepay is usually cheaper for users with high-FCY-fee cards.
AgodaCash is applied at checkout, reducing the credit-card-charged amount. Your cashback is calculated on the post-AgodaCash amount only. Both layers stack but the credit card layer is smaller because of the AgodaCash discount.
