Follow us on Telegram for the best updates: https://t.me/sgdivedeals

With our government in the lead to provide financial assistance through MediSave top-up and NTUC Fair Price to extend discounts schemes, we have seen more and more retailers coming out with deals catering specially for our seniors and pioneer generation. Besides coming out with the best of senior deals in town, we are also going to share with you 5 tips on how to make the best out of each deal!

Tip #1 Plan your purchase in advance

Yes! As direct and simple as it sounds! Write a shopping list, plan the errands to run and even check the movie screening timing before heading out. All these 'homework' done ahead of time will definitely help ensure a smooth day out and avoid unnecessary disappointment.

Take for example our Suki-Ya 20% off for senior deal. You can click on the terms and conditions on the deal page and noticed that they need you to produce your ID bearing your birth date, so checklist #1 Pack your ID (item #2 would be to bring your Trace Together device out).

Also, check the calendar (ensure it's not a public holiday nor a special occasion day) and that the promotion is still valid.

If you still have dietary related questions or not sure about the current dine-in regulations, simply click on our source link button and you will be directed to the retailer's website where you can call them up personally to check or to make a reservation with them.

So, to know if you are near any of these participating outlet, simply click on the blue drop pin! It's that easy! After identifying the actual location, you can continue to plan your errands to run!

Tip #2 Know your privileges and entitlement

Don't we just love to sign up card after card with the intention of enjoying its special perks and discounts only to find ourselves keeping the card till the promotion period is over? (I am guilty of it!) And Passion Card is one of those card that offers discounts from approximately 200 different merchants — yet, how often do we make use of it?
