Save! Potentially $0.2-1 per taxi ride. If taxi like a tai-tai but with corporate slave-minion pay, spending $200 a month on taxi, then you save $10 a month. That's $120 a year.
The long and the short of it
If you take taxi often (read, spend more than $30 a month), use Nets @ FlashPay for trips costing more than $6 (haha where got taxi rides so cheap nowadays! Sobz)

If you take taxi often or will occasionally kena a very chor (expensive) taxi fare, this will help you to save a little bit of your money.
Basically, Nets @ FlashPay will give you a 5% rebate when you pay using their card. However, there is a $0.30 fee. So if your taxi fare runs above $6, the 5% rebate earned will be greater than the $0.30 fee.
Now why go through all the trouble to get another card? Cos this card always acts as an ezlink card and can be topped up just the same.
Basically to me, this is another ezlink card. Quacks like a duck, it is a duck lor.

| Got bee one. |
How to use:
- Offer runs till 31 Dec 2014 (always important to note the end date)
- Need to hit $30 a month on taxi rides. With taxi fares being so expensive now, $30 is damn easy to hit. It just takes 3 x $10 rides.
- Rebates are capped at $10 a month (That's if you spend $200 a month on taxi... Which is a lot.
- Rebates can be redeemed only 2 months after they are issued. E.g. you pay for the taxi fare in April, you get to redeem in June.
- Once rebates can be redeemed, you got 3 months. So in the earlier example, you got till Sept to redeem
- Redeem at the Add Value Machines at bus interchanges and MRT stations.

Downside - If you don't have a card yet, each card costs $12. Has $7 value and $5 non-refundable card deposit. :(
BUT this is standard. Same as ezlink card. What to do? LL
And if you don't know already, the Nets @ FlashPay got other benefits.
