Best Credit Card for Groceries in Singapore 2026

Groceries are a top-2 monthly category for most SG households. The right card pays 6-8% cashback (vs 0.3-1% base rate), recovering S$200-500 a year on a S$3-6K annual grocery bill. Most major SG cashback cards carry a grocery tier under MCC 5411 (Grocery Stores) — the top picks differ depending on whether you prefer fixed-rate caps or selectable-category cards that stretch higher with a single locked tier.
