CDC and SG60 vouchers listed on e-commerce platforms will be taken down: CDCs

SINGAPORE – The Community Development Councils (CDCs) have said they will work with e-commerce platforms such as Carousell and Facebook Marketplace to take down listings selling CDC and SG60 vouchers.

A spokesperson for the CDCs said this on Aug 7 in response to queries from The Straits Times.

“The vouchers are not for resale and are not exchangeable for cash,” said the spokesperson.

Checks by ST on Aug 7 found at least six listings on Facebook Marketplace selling CDC and SG60 vouchers.

The highest asking price was listed at $600 for $800 worth of vouchers.

On Carousell, meanwhile, at least three listings have been removed since Aug 4.

Most of the listings appeared to be priced lower than the monetary value of the vouchers.

In July, Singaporeans aged 60 and above were able to claim $800 SG60 vouchers, and citizens aged 21 to 59 got $600 SG60 vouchers. The vouchers are valid till Dec 31, 2026.

Like CDC vouchers, they can be used at more than 23,000 hawker stalls and heartland businesses, as well as eight supermarket chains with 400 outlets across the island.

The latest tranche of CDC vouchers was released in May 2025, with every household receiving $500, and they are valid till Dec 31, 2025. Another $300 will be disbursed in January 2026.

The CDC vouchers website states that vouchers are “not for resale (or) exchangeable for cash or gift vouchers”.

It also states that vouchers can be shared with household members, although the CDCs advised the public to exercise caution when sharing unique voucher links, as no reinstatement will be made for vouchers shared erroneously.

In January 2024, the CDCs filed police reports against unofficial links circulating online that claimed to allow people to redeem CDC vouchers.
