Straits Times subscribers will be able to enjoy more benefits from today with the launch of the new ST+ e-card.
These include up to 20 per cent discounts for dining at top hotels including Fairmont Singapore and The Fullerton Hotel, and a 10 per cent discount at dining chain Ministry of Food on weekdays.
There will also be exclusive room deals from hotel partners - Carlton Hotel, The Fullerton Hotel, Fullerton Bay Hotel, M Social, Mandarin Orchard, Orchard Hotel and more.
Free passes to check out yoga sessions as well as special discounts on beauty and wellness treats, and shopping discounts from major brands such as New Balance, Canon, Courts Singapore and Harvey Norman will also be on offer.
The new initiative, which aims to reward subscribers, joins the slew of existing benefits under the exclusive ST+ programme, such as ST Video, ST Food and ST Wine Club. ST subscribers can access the new e-card by first downloading the SPH Rewards mobile application in the iTunes or Google Play store.
Mr Warren Fernandez, editor- in-chief of the Singapore Press Holdings' English/Malay/Tamil Media Group and editor of The Straits Times, said: "The main benefit we bring to our readers is the latest news across all our platforms. But in addition to this, we want to reward our loyal subscribers with more, through our news with benefits programme."
