The American Express Singapore Airlines PPS Club Credit Card gives 4.6% effective rewards on Grab, 2.8% on Singapore Airlines & KrisShop and 1.8% on all other spending.

Local spending above S$3,800 in a month earns about 2% rewards (1.4 mpd) and overseas spending above S$3,800 in a month earns 2.8% rewards (2 mpd).

Overall, we estimate you can earn a net reward yield of 1.9-2.4% on all spending with this card in a month.

Those are good reward yields but not high enough to be the best in any spending category or for any level of spending.

The PPS Club Credit Card has a high annual fee of S$556.20 per year. However this is waived for the first year and that means it can likely be waived in subsequent years too as long as the card is being actively used.

Unlike some other cards, the exact level of annual spending needed to get the fee waiver is not disclosed by Amex.
