"The FairPrice Group (FPG) will give out $8 in return vouchers for every $80 worth of CDC supermarket vouchers used in a single transaction at FairPrice outlets until Jan 17."
Last year, it was a $6 return voucher for every $55 CDC supermarket vouchers spent. I did chiong to buy stuff to get the return voucher.
This year, am unsure if I would do the same bec everything is so expensive now. -

MIL still prefers prints. I go for the download, as I find it convenient. I’ll let her use my app voucher & feel the convenience, but I suspect she’ll be still comfortable with hardcopies she can feel & count.

You \"fast hand fast leg\" :rahrah:
Me too; just got the vouchers printed at CC. -
Besides NTUC, Shrng Siong, CS all jumping onto wagon to catch consumers’ CDC spending, here’s ano fr GIANT. Very hard to chase all these lor. I don’t like shopping at GIANT anyway.

I thought only companies that exceed a million dollars in revenue (or something like that) needs to register for GST. Those canteen operators are simply defraying their material cost back to consumers.

Yes that’s what I meant. Their costs went up. I doubt they earn much profits from the kids to begin with.

go.gov.sg/cdcv. is the correct official link.
All Singaporean households can claim their S$500 Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers from Jan. 3, 2024 onwards.
This is the link go.gov.sg/cdcv.
DO NOT CLICK

A text was received- “Good news — you’re getting your GST benefits! Bad news : You just got scammed!
Scammers are now taking advantage of news about the release of GST vouchers to target vulnerable individuals.
Here’s how this scam works: Victims would receive official-looking messages on WhatsApp or Facebook requesting them to download and integrate *“the latest GST voucher mobile app” with their bank accounts.* The victims would then be directed to a webpage disguised like the app store asking you to download an app file labelled as a *GST voucher app* to “help” victims redeem their vouchers. The file is actually malware allowing the scammers to access and take control of the victim’s device remotely, making it easier for them to steal passwords and sensitive information.
Remember: You do not need to download any mobile app to receive your GST benefits. These are automatically given to those eligible!
Last night DH warned me that there was a scam going on and the link he cited was the above one.
Apparently, last evening when people clicked on the link, there was nothing, probably because CDC vouchers weren’t released yet as of yesterday, mistook it as a scam? -
It was reported in ST today that Caltex, Esso and Shell upped their petrol prices on 1st Jan !!
Not sure if it was just sheer coincidence (1% GST rise) or due to rising oil prices
