I'm going to be rich!
SBS Transit, the company that operates buses and trains here in Singapore, has this promotion where you can redeem stuff using bonus dollars (BD) earned from your trips. To earn bonus dollars, you should spend $1 more than the previous week on your fares as explained in the rules. All you need to do is register your ez-link card (similar to our prepaid MRT cards but can also be used to pay for bus fares, government transactions, and McDonald's) and you’re on your way.
I registered my card some time ago but hadn’t really planned on how to go about earning these so called BDs. Maybe I was just bored, or there were no hot chicks around, but yesterday on the train I suddenly came up with a solution on how to maximize my earnings. First of all, can anyone help me confirm that it is not written anywhere in the rules that there has to be a minimum amount to qualify? Can I spend $0.50 this week and $1.50 next week and still earn 1 BD for next week?
If so, then this is how it should be done. Assuming you spend $3 everyday on transportation ($1.50 to and $1.50 fro):
1. You need 2 ez-link cards.
2. Register Card A only.
3. Week 1 – Use Card A on Monday morning only. Use Card B on all other trips for the week.
4. Week 2 – Use Card A on Monday morning and afternoon. Use Card B on all other trips for the week.
5. Week 3 – Use Card A on Monday and Tuesday (morning only). Use Card B… you should have figured this out by now
6. Week 4 – You get the picture
7. And so on. Only go back to Week 1 after you use Card A for the entire week.
Bonus Dollars Earned:
1. Week 1 – 0
2. Week 2 – 1
3. Week 3 – 2
4. Week 4 – 3
5. Week 5 – 3
6. Week 6 – 3
7. Week 7 – 3
8. You will keep earning 3 BDs until you go back to Week 1.
Stuff you can redeem:
1. Manicure worth $25 – 5 BD
2. Pedicure worth $40 – 6 BD
3. 1 hour gaming + 1 jug of drink worth $25 – 5 BD
4. Squid Ink Risotto worth $14.80 – 4 BD
5. Potato Gnocchi worth $9.80 – 3BD
6. Mud Ooze worth $4.50 – 2 BD
7. 1N Deluxe Sea Facing Room worth $336 – 12 BD
8. Suite for 2 worth $800 – 20 BD (fully redeemed -_-)
9. Soya Milk worth $1.30 – 1 BD
10. Nestle Fitnesse Breakfast Cereal worth $4.67 – 2 BD
Now, which reward should I go for first?
Whoa!
Are you teaching people how to take advantage of the system? Off to jail you go!
But I don't think it's something illegal...
Right? :-S
I just thought about something else... Assuming you'd also earn points when you use your ez-link card to pay at McDonald's, once you reach Week X where you already used Card A the entire week on transportation:
Week X + 1 - Eat breakfast at McDonald's on Monday.
Week X + 2 - Eat breakfast and lunch at McDonald's on Monday.
Week X + 3 - Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at McDonald's on Monday.
Week X + 4 - Eat 3 times at McDonald's on Monday, have breakfast there on Tuesday.
And so on.
Also, you have to make sure you're eating the same stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so that the amount you spend will be consistent.
And you can also make more money by coming up with the documentary Supersize Me II.
Hahaha
That sounds really unhealthy. Why do I have the feeling that you'll look like a sumo wrestler the next time I see you?
damn i hate math
is that what he's doing coz i didn't understand...
He's using math to
game the system. He'll be going to jail soon.
Me too
I'll figure it out when I'm free.
Hehehe
Chinesemafia seems to be in geek mode. Give him some time and I'm sure he'll revert back to Oprah mode.
I think I'm in geek mode too
I had to keep myself from assigning variables and writing my solution in Ifs and Do Whiles.
Bottomline is I'm just showing people how to get a $336 room in Indonesia by just spending at least $6 in 6 weeks =)
Hahaha
You've been doing too much geek stuff. You need to spend more time looking at cat-pooping videos.
Sure you are
He just said you are =)
