Ifah SakinahIn case you haven’t heard, the SingapoRediscovers vouchers scheme has been extended till 31 Dec 2021. That gives you more time to rediscover and explore your very own island nation.
What exactly are SingapoRediscovers vouchers?
SingapoRediscovers vouchers are S$100 in credits given to Singaporeans under the SingapoRediscovers campaign to boost local tourism in the country. These vouchers are in the denominations of S$10. They are a plethora of ways to spend them including staycations, leisure attractions, and local tours!
However, the vouchers cannot be combined to make a single purchase. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said that this was done to prevent cases of fraud and also to encourage Singaporeans to support as many tourism businesses as they can.
This will allow the vouchers to be used as a discount on the total payment due rather than a replacement for the payment itself. Additionally, Singaporeans won’t be able to transfer or sell the vouchers to anyone.
Who is eligible to receive SingapoRediscovers vouchers?
To be eligible to claim the voucher, you must (1) be a Singapore citizen and (2) be 18 or older in the year 2020.

These vouchers are available for use till 31 Dec 2021; so you can even use them during public holidays and long weekends in the last month of the year. Time to plan your well-deserved Singapore vacations, then!
