[PSA] Up to 49% Discount for Ryde Vouchers

GMT+8

 


Previously, there was a flash sale on Ryde Vouchers that I have posted here.

I explained how we can get about 37-39% discount by having Flash discounts / Bundle Discount + Shop Discount + Platform Discount

However, in the last CEE sale on 25 May, I’ve noticed a slight change in their strategy and I managed to get around 49% discount in total.

The next sale is 6 Jun 23 so let’s keep our eyes open.

Base item Discount

During a sale, the base price of the vouchers will drop 25-26%, and the one with the best marginal discount is normally the $30 Voucher.


At times there might be a bundle discount at the $100 - $120 vouchers so you need to compare first.

Shop Discount

There are only 2 kinds of discount, either the shopee coin cashback or direct $$ discount.

The shopee coin discount will normally be better as it gives about 10% at a certain cap of about 2K coins or 3K coins

This is more generous as it encourages more transactions for shopee


 

While direct $$ discount really depends. I’ve seen cases where more 10% discount was given and I have also used them.


To get the ultimate discount, it would be better to opt for Shopee coins.

 

Platform Discount

 This is similar to the Shop discount, there will be coin cashback or direct discount too.  There will also be a discount for UOB Card payments but it’s typically less than 10%

In this example. I’ve opted for shopee coins in the shop discount, the 10% coin cashback will apply to the same final price and I get the same number of coins.


 

UOB One Cashback

This is something that’s less known, the UOB One X Shopee partnership. Details here

TLDR: Shopee is one of the partners that are eligible for UOB Cashback.


The quarterly cashback applies to all eligible spending so let’s just ignore the rebates from it.

Additional cashback of 5 - 6.67% is given as long as you buy from Shopee.

 

Enhanced cashback is applicable to the same set of partner merchants if you are a new UOB One CC applicant over a 6 mth period.


Full TnC can be found here.

Other things to note:

1)     Cashback is awarded on a quarterly basis

2)     The cap of additional Cashback and enhanced Cashback is $100 each on a per-month basis.
Which is a cap of $2000 @ 5% or $1499 @ 6.67%


In my case, I am still eligible for enhanced cashback, so the total cashback would be 5% + 6.67% = 11.67%.

In Summary

This is the total discount with UOB Additional + Enhanced Cashback:


 This is the total discount with UOB Additional Cashback only:


The final cashback from UOB is substantial as the checkout price wasn’t affected by the shopee coin rebates.

In the end, everyone wins.

Riders get a substantial amount of discount, Ryde gains ridership, shopee and UOB gains more transactions.

Getting my house…

GMT+8
  [Update: I have updated that part on the last 5% downpayment after clarifying]  Following my last article , I went on to consider my housing options. In terms of HDB, there were 4 new MOP projects available but I couldn’t get over the fact that I would have to negotiate the price, secure the OTP before doing the Fengshui review. I could shortlist the units first, do the fengshui review. Then proceed with the viewing and negotiations, but the house might not be available anymore. So what did I just spend money for?    My next options which were completed Condos near my house around the Geylang Lorong 30 – 40 and Tanjong Katong Road. They were mostly freehold and affordable. The only issue is that I'm not ready to commit everything now. The other issue was that the development size was normally quite small implying a lack of transactions on price clarity and higher maintenance fee.   This brought me to the last option, which was to look at new launches.  A...

[AAR] – Stretching the $$$ with Ryde.

GMT+8
  Previously I have shared many articles on Ryde: What’s the best way to use Ryde: Maximisingthe undervalued Ryde Ryde Deep Dive - will my strategy last? How to secure the cheapest Ryde Vouchers Ryde Flash sales - at least 37% Discount [PSA] Up to 49% Discount for Ryde Vouchers It’s been a year since I’ve used this strategy, it’s time to do a review. When I first learned about Ryde vouchers, I was only aware of the 20% discount on Lazada,. Further digging on Shopee lead me to find even more discounts there. In my case, I’ve gotten a lot of help from friends and accumulated this amount of vouchers. It was a BIG risk on my part as none of them heard of Ryde and felt that could be a cash call before they file for bankruptcy like most other start-ups facing a lack of funding.  However, I’m still enjoying the discounts. PS: I’m already enjoying an 18% discount by using RydeFlash, so the 30% discount from the vouchers is a gigantic discount. Nevertheless, there are many learnin...
