If you have an image of a cashier in Giant Supermarket saying, “PAssion Card member?” whenever you hear the phrase “Passion Card”, it’s normal because some of us have this impression too.

In the last few years, PAssion Card has taken the whole of Singapore by storm: first introduced in 2005 as a membership card for the People’s Association (PA), it has now become mainstream ever since it incorporated “EZ-link” function into the card in 2009, and then adding the feature to accumulate points and redeem promotions in major supermarkets like Cold Storage and Giant.

Okay, so everyone should know about the EZ-link function and the point system. Are there any more benefits? Well, you’ll be surprised.

You can have a PAssion POSB Debit Card
It’s just like a normal PAssion card…but it’s a debit card for your POSB or DBS bank account as well. In other words, you could add the feature of “banking” into your PAssion Card. Now, is that cool or what?

You get LOTS of privileges in LOTS of shops
Want to buy a new pair of glasses? As a PAssion Card member, you get 15% to 20% off regular priced items. Want to have a buffet? As a PAssion Card member, you get 20% in Atrium Restaurant, even if you go on a Friday night. I can list down all of them, but it’ll be as thick as a book—you can view ALL the privileges here.

You can accumulate points, not just in Cold Storage and Giant
Many people think these are the only two places to accumulate points as they go there often, but apparently, you can gain points from all shops by Dairy Farm Singapore. The relatively unknown places are Guardian and Market Place by Jason.

There is a PAssion Card for the Elderly
Known as the PAssion Silver Concession Card, people above the age of 60 will receive this, which replaces the purple Senior Citizen Concession Card (i.e. the Ez-Link card for the elderly). The card is free for all senior citizens and they should all have received it via mail since last year (2017). In addition to it being an Ez-Link card and PAssion Card, there are also exclusive offers, like a 50% off all water sports courses in all PA Water-Venture outlets and more!

There’re always new promotions
Hard to believe? Just check out their Facebook Page and see all the new promotions that are updated regularly. You’ll be spoilt for choice.

You can use it to join PA’s activities with discounts
That has been the initial objective of the card. And trust me, you’ll find an extensive array of activities that’ll keep you busy with fun for the entire year!

You can get $5 taxi voucher if you sign up for the PAssion POSB Debit Card
It’s not a lot, but it’s still a freebie you can’t resist, can you? More information can be found here.

You can borrow more books from NLB libraries
As a Singaporean or PR, you’ll be entitled to a basic membership that allows you to borrow up to eight library items. As a PAssion Card member, you get a partner membership allows you to borrow up to ten books! However, do note that the partner membership is only for five years.

Earn more STAR$® points
If you’re familiar with CAPITASTAR and are one who would always be queuing to “scan” your receipts at CapitaLand shopping malls, then here’s the best benefit: You get to earn 50% more STAR$® points when you activate your PAssion Card-CAPITASTAR privileges! Click here for more info.
