But are you making the most of your membership benefits? Here are five ways to fully utilize your Platinum Card perks in Singapore.
#1 Elevate your staycation with a room upgrade and more
Looking for a quick break but short on time? A staycation is the perfect solution to rest and recharge. With The Platinum Card, you will score elite tier membership status with leading hotel loyalty programs such as the Pan Pacific DISCOVERY, Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors. This means you will instantly access the premium tiers of these programs upon enrollment and enjoy perks like complimentary room upgrades, early check-in and late check-out.
Stay two or more consecutive nights at any property in The Hotel Collection and snag a complimentary room upgrade (if available) and US$100 in amenity credits. Use them for dining, spa treatments, golf or other experiences.
What’s more, if you book at one of the Fine Hotels + Resorts—such as Capella Singapore or The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore—you will get up to S$800 (US$592) in benefits. Enjoy complimentary daily breakfast for two and US$100 amenity credits, ranging from spa credit to food and beverage treats.
These fantastic perks are bound to make any staycation that much sweeter, whether it’s a romantic escape or downtime with the family.

Plus, be among the first to place orders for the latest luxury pieces before they hit the stores in Singapore.
