Planning a GSS shopping spree at Orchard Road, Marina Bay Sands, Bugis or VivoCity? Whip out your UnionPay card and you’ll save even more on fashion, jewellery, electronics, hotels, restaurants, and more!
Shopping is one of Singapore’s national pastimes, and you can’t beat the opportunity to catch up on a spot of retail therapy during The Great Singapore Sale (or the ‘the GSS’, as it’s known to locals). With so many boutiques, local designers, and high-end stores to peruse, it’s undoubtedly a highlight of the year for shopaholics. And, let’s be honest, who can resist when retailers are discounting original prices by up to 70%! With great deals on just about everything – from fashion to jewellery, electronics to toys, even spa treatments, hotel stays, restaurants and bars – it’s a bargain hunter’s dream!
But if the heaving crowds of Orchard Road leave you frantic and sweaty-palmed, fret not! There are tonnes of GSS bargains to be enjoyed island-wide too (though we must confess: the too-good-to-be-true deals at some of our fave department stores will undoubtedly lead us to the shopping mecca at some point!). Instead, head to Singapore’s swankiest shopping district – The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands – to pick up designer steals, check out the thriving Bugis district for a mix of swish malls and charming boutiques, or escape the city and head to VivoCity for some waterside shopping action.
This year’s GSS official card is UnionPay, and if you’ve got one of these babies lurking in your wallet, you’re in luck! Pay with this, and you’ll reap the benefit of a whole host of additional discounts and giveaways, and that’s on top of the existing GSS discounts! What’s more, the UnionPay deals don’t just stop at the shops. You’ll bag sweet discounts on jewellery, hotels, tourist attractions, restaurants, and more! Check out this list to see where your UnionPay card can save you some serious dollar.
