You know that bright yellow or teal decals which proudly indicates that Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers are accepted?
Great news, youโre about to see more of the decals in the heartlands.
Now, you have more options to spend your CDC vouchers without worrying that some hawker uncle is going to mock you.
Minister of State for for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling just announced that Giant Supermarket and Ang Mo Supermarket have been added to the list of supermarkets for households in Singapore to spend their CDC vouchers, starting today.
This adds to the five existing supermarkets which accept CDC vouchers, being NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong Prime, HAO Mart and U Stars.
Thereโs no mention of Cold Storage, though.
However, many of us might have already used up the CDC vouchers for supermarkets, since NTUC FairPrice had a promotion last month whereby for every $55 spent with the CDC vouchers, weโd get a $6 return voucher.
On the last day of the promotion, long queues were spotted in several NTUC FairPrice outlets.
Who Doesnโt Love Free Money?
The CDC Vouchers Scheme was first launched mid-2020 with the two-pronged goal of helping the lower-income households in Singapore defray some of their day-to-day costs and assisting the heartland merchants and hawkers tide through the COVID-19 pandemic.
And of course, sooth the pinch brought about by the 1% GST hike effective this year.
For this yearโs vouchers, for the first time, half of the amount ($150) can be used in supermarkets (which defeats the purpose of assisting the heartland merchants, but weโre loving it).
How To Claim Your CDC Vouchers
Before you chiong to the nearest outlet to spend your vouchers, make sure you check that youโve claimed the vouchers.
Approximately 90% of all eligible Singaporean households have gotten their hands on the $300 dollars from the government, which means over 1.1 million households are ready to ball.
If youโre one of the slowpokes who hasnโt claimed your vouchers, faster claim your vouchers now.
You can do so by visiting go.gov.sg/cdcv, tapping on โCDC Vouchers 2023โ, logging in with your Singpass details and youโre set to spend after redeeming the vouchers sent to you by SMS.
