Planning a visit to Gardens by the Bay? Here is a handy deal worth checking out before heading out. Bank of China (BOC) Singapore is offering instant discounts to eligible cardholders who pay with selected BOC UnionPay cards at Gardens by the Bay ticketing counters and gift shops. Running until 30 November 2026, this promotion gives visitors a chance to save S$4 or S$8, depending on how much they spend.
Whether it is a family day out, a relaxing date, a weekend adventure with friends or a visit to one of Singapore’s best-known attractions, a little saving can make the experience even more enjoyable. Instead of paying the full amount for eligible purchases, visitors can take advantage of the promotion and keep some extra money for their next activity, meal or shopping stop.
The offer is particularly useful for people who are already planning to visit Gardens by the Bay. Rather than changing their plans just to chase a discount, eligible cardholders can simply make the most of the savings while enjoying their usual outing.
Enjoy Instant Savings of S$4 or S$8
The Bank of China Singapore promotion offers two straightforward discount tiers. Visitors can enjoy instant savings when they meet the minimum spending requirement and pay with an eligible BOC UnionPay card.
Here is a quick look at the available offers:
- Spend at least S$40 and save S$4. This is a convenient option for visitors making smaller eligible purchases at participating ticketing counters or gift shops.
- Spend at least S$80 and save S$8. Those planning a larger purchase may prefer this tier, provided their spending meets the minimum requirement.
The main advantage is that the discount is applied instantly to eligible transactions, subject to the promotion’s terms and redemption availability. Visitors do not have to wait for a later cashback payout to enjoy the advertised savings.
For example, an eligible S$40 purchase could cost S$36 after the S$4 discount, while an eligible S$80 purchase could cost S$72 after the S$8 discount. These examples assume that the transaction qualifies for the relevant offer and that redemption remains available.
It is worth remembering that the minimum spending amounts are different. Anyone hoping to enjoy the S$8 discount should make sure the eligible transaction reaches S$80 rather than assuming the higher discount applies to every purchase.
Which BOC UnionPay Cards Are Eligible?
This promotion is available to holders of selected Bank of China cards that operate on the UnionPay network. The eligible cards listed in the promotion are:
- BOC SplendorPlus Card
- BOC Travel Card
- BOC Zaobao Credit Card
- BOC Debit Card
If any of these cards are already in your wallet, this is a good opportunity to check whether your planned purchases qualify for the discount.
However, simply holding a BOC card may not be enough. The payment must be processed through the UnionPay network, so cardholders should confirm that their payment method is eligible before completing the transaction.
Visitors who do not currently have an eligible card can refer to the original Bank of China Singapore promotional announcement for the application information provided by the bank. Before applying, it is sensible to review the card’s fees, eligibility requirements and other conditions to decide whether it suits their everyday spending habits.
There is no need to apply for a new card solely for a small discount unless the card’s broader benefits also make sense for your needs.
Where Can Visitors Enjoy the Promotion?
The offer applies to purchases made at Gardens by the Bay ticketing counters and gift shops, subject to the promotion’s terms and conditions.
Gardens by the Bay is a popular destination for visitors looking to enjoy Singapore’s greenery, distinctive architecture and nature-inspired attractions. It is a suitable place for a family outing, a leisurely afternoon with friends or a special day out with someone important.
Visitors can plan their purchases around the activities they intend to enjoy. Those buying eligible admission tickets at participating ticketing counters may be able to benefit from the discount, while shoppers visiting eligible gift shops can also check whether their purchases qualify.
Before paying, tell the cashier that you intend to use an eligible BOC UnionPay card and check whether the transaction meets the minimum spending requirement. This simple step can help avoid confusion at the payment counter.
Do note that the offer is not advertised as applying to every purchase throughout Gardens by the Bay. Check the participating location and the applicable terms rather than assuming that restaurants, online purchases or other services are included.
Why Is This Deal Worth Considering?
One reason to consider the promotion is that it offers a simple way to reduce the cost of an outing that may already be on your calendar. If you are visiting Gardens by the Bay anyway, using an eligible card for a qualifying purchase could mean spending less without making major changes to your plans.
The S$4 discount is a practical saving for smaller purchases, while the S$8 offer may be more attractive for visitors who are planning a larger eligible transaction. Although these amounts may not seem substantial on their own, they can still help stretch a day-out budget.
Families may find the offer especially useful when planning eligible purchases for a group. Before paying, however, check whether the spending requirement applies to the individual transaction and whether any restrictions affect the number of redemptions. It is always better to confirm the details than to assume that separate purchases can be combined.
The promotion can also encourage cardholders to make better use of the benefits available on cards they already own. Rather than overlooking a limited-time offer, they can check the conditions in advance and decide whether the discount fits their plans.
Most importantly, there is no need to spend more than intended just to obtain a discount. If your purchase is already necessary and qualifies for the promotion, the savings can be a welcome bonus. If you would need to buy extra items to reach the minimum spend, compare the additional cost against the discount before proceeding.
Important Terms and Conditions to Know
Before visiting, there are several conditions worth keeping in mind.
First, the promotion runs until 30 November 2026, so eligible cardholders should plan their purchases before the offer ends.
Second, each eligible card may enjoy each offer once per day, with a maximum of three redemptions during the entire promotion period. The wording indicates limits on the use of each offer, so cardholders should review the official terms to understand how the limits apply to their intended transactions.
Third, payments must be made through the UnionPay network. Online payments are excluded, as are payments made through third-party platforms, including Alipay and WeChat Pay. Using one of these excluded payment methods may mean that the discount is not available, even if the underlying purchase would otherwise meet the minimum spend.
Finally, redemption is limited and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The promotion may therefore become unavailable before the stated end date if the allocated redemptions have been used. Other terms and conditions also apply.

It is a good idea to check the official information before making a purchase, particularly if you are visiting close to the end of the promotion.
Make Your Next Gardens by the Bay Visit More Rewarding
A visit to Gardens by the Bay can be a memorable way to spend time with family and friends, enjoy Singapore’s attractions or take a break from the usual weekly routine. With the Bank of China Singapore promotion, eligible UnionPay cardholders have another reason to check their payment options before heading out.
The opportunity to save S$4 with a minimum spend of S$40 or S$8 with a minimum spend of S$80 is simple enough to understand, and the instant discount makes the benefit easy to appreciate at the point of payment.
If you already have an eligible BOC UnionPay card and are planning a visit, check the participating ticketing counters or gift shops, confirm the minimum spending requirement and pay through the UnionPay network. Just remember that redemptions are limited, and the offer is scheduled to end on 30 November 2026.
With a little planning, you could enjoy your Gardens by the Bay outing while keeping a little extra money in your pocket. Check the official terms, make purchases that fit your budget and take advantage of the promotion while it remains available.
