In celebration of Singapore’s 55th birthday, the Singapore government has generously distributed NS55 credits to all eligible citizens and permanent residents. These credits can be used to offset purchases made on various e-commerce platforms, including Shopee. If you’re wondering how to make the most of your NS55 credits on Shopee, look no further! This comprehensive guide will provide you with 55 foolproof tips and tricks to help you maximize your savings.
1. Check Your Eligibility
Before you proceed, it’s crucial to ensure that you’re eligible for the NS55 credits. According to the Ministry of Finance, the following individuals are eligible:
- Singapore citizens born on or before 31 December 2004
- Permanent residents who have been residing in Singapore for at least 5 years and have not withdrawn their CPF savings
2. Activate Your Credits
To activate your NS55 credits, simply log in to the SingPass website or mobile application. Once you’re logged in, navigate to the “NS55 Benefits Portal” and follow the instructions to activate your credits. You will receive an SMS notification once your credits have been activated.
3. Link Your Shopee Account
Before you can use your NS55 credits on Shopee, you need to link your Shopee account to your SingPass account. To do this, visit the Shopee website or app and click on the “Me” tab. Select “NS55 Credits” and follow the instructions to link your accounts.
4. Find Participating Merchants
Not all merchants on Shopee accept NS55 credits. To find merchants that do, simply use the “Filter” option when browsing products. Select “NS55 Credits” under the “Payment Method” filter to narrow down your search results.
5. Add Items to Your Cart
Once you’ve found items that you want to purchase, add them to your cart. Make sure that the total amount of your purchase is within the limit of your NS55 credits.
6. Apply Your NS55 Credits
At checkout, select “NS55 Credits” as your payment method. Enter the amount of credits you want to use and click on “Apply.” Your NS55 credits will be automatically deducted from your total purchase amount.
7. Pay the Remaining Balance
If the total amount of your purchase exceeds the limit of your NS55 credits, you will need to pay the remaining balance using another payment method, such as credit card or debit card.
8. Enjoy Your Savings!
Congratulations! You’ve successfully used your NS55 credits to save money on your Shopee purchases. Now, sit back and enjoy the rewards of your savings.
