Got 2,000 InstaPoints (about S$25) for signing up for the Instarem amaze card with a referral code, and the spend requirement is only S$100.
β
π Referral code: JxU1zN
β
Enter it when you create your account. That part matters, more on it below.
β
What you get
- 2,000 InstaPoints (worth about S$25) as a new user
- A discount on the transfer fee for your first overseas money transfer
To unlock the points, I had to do one of these:
- Spend S$100 in total on the amaze card, or
- Make one overseas transfer of S$1,000 or more
I went the card spend route since S$100 is easy to hit with normal expenses.
β
How I claimed it
- Have the code JxU1zN ready before you start.
- Sign up for an Instarem account and check that the code is actually entered.
- Complete identity verification, then apply for the amaze card.
- Make one qualifying transaction (S$100 total card spend, or a S$1,000+ overseas transfer).
- Redeem the InstaPoints once they post.
Redeeming the points
2,000 InstaPoints gets you one of:
- S$25 cashback to your amaze Wallet
- About 666 KrisFlyer miles
- S$25 off a transfer above S$1,000
I took the cashback. For most people it's the better value than 666 miles.
Things that can cost you the reward
- β
The code must be entered at account creation. It can't be added later, so don't rush past that screen.
- β
Wallet top-ups to other stored-value cards or e-wallets (MCC 6540) don't count toward the S$100 spend.
- β
If your qualifying transaction gets cancelled or refunded, it doesn't count.
- β
InstaPoints expire 12 months after crediting.
- β
The S$25 cashback tier can only be redeemed once per calendar month.
I checked these numbers against DLCuration's amaze referral guide, which has the longer breakdown: https://dlcuration.com/amaze-referral.html
β
Who can't get it
- Existing Instarem users (you need to have never had an Instarem account)
- Anyone signing up with a different referral code
- Second accounts
- Non-Singapore residents, or anyone under 18
Expiry
No end date is stated. The offer is listed as ongoing as of 8 October 2026, but these things change, so check Instarem's official referral terms before you sign up.
β
A few honest caveats on the card itself
- amaze has two modes. amaze Wallet has 0% FX markup on foreign currency spend and earns 0.5 InstaPoints per S$1. amaze Link (linking your own Mastercard) earns no InstaPoints, has an FX spread of up to 2.1%, and charges a 1% fee on SGD spend. Know which one you're using before you tap.
- Instarem is run by Nium Pte. Ltd., a Major Payment Institution licensed by MAS. It's not a bank, so your Wallet balance is e-money and is not SDIC-insured. I just top up what I plan to spend.
Not financial advice, just sharing what worked for me. S$25 for S$100 of spending I was going to do anyway was fine by me.
