Why apply for Octopus Automatic Add Value Service (AAVS)?

Enjoy cash rebate

You can earn up to 1.5% cash rebate every time you top up your credit card with designated a credit card such as  Standard Chartered Mastercard, etc. cash rebate. It is worth noting that AAVS only reloads once a day and there is a cap on cashback earnings.

Enjoy air miles

Link up Octopus AAVS with designated credit cards such as Citi Prestige Card and DBS Black World Mastercard to earn air miles for free air tickets, accommodation and rental services.

Enjoy welcome offers

You can top up your Octopus Wallet (previously called O! ePay) via NFC-enabled Android mobile devices or via an iOS mobile device paired up with an Octopus Mobile Reader in order to earn welcome offers.

After card issuance, cardholders are required to first sign up for AAVS first before reloading Octopus daily for transferring funds to Octopus Wallet (previously called O! ePay) account until meeting the minimum spending requirement for credit card welcome offers.

This is how it works. You reload your octopus daily and then transfer the reloaded amount to the Octopus Wallet. But do not stop there! Then, you can transfer the funds back to your bank account to repay your credit card debt. In this way, nothing actually comes out of your pocket, but your octopus which has been signed up for AAVS gets reloaded daily to earn rebate/ air miles from the card provider!

But you can only reload daily! And you can increase the daily limit to earn the most out of it!

Although it requires much effort, cardholders can get welcome offers with no extra cost.
