SG60 Experience credit redemption
You now have until Jan 31 to redeem the SG60 Experience Credit for your kids – an extension from Dec 31 – and can also request credits for your third child and beyond.
Launched on Aug 1 by Flying Cape, an online booking and advisory platform for enrichment programmes, the initiative celebrates Singapore’s 60th birthday and supports the National Families for Life movement.
It allows Singaporeans and permanent residents with children aged 15 and below to redeem a variety of experiences, including programmes in Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), arts, music and sports.
Once redeemed, the credits are valid for one year. Go to flyingcape.com.sg/sg60
The initiative has been enhanced to offer support for bigger families. Previously, parents could only redeem credits for up to two kids via Singpass. In response to feedback, those with three children or more can request additional credits through an online form.
