WIN a FREE Flight to Japan Along with Wise + Essential Travel Money-Saving Tips

Dreaming of Japan? Wise has you covered with a chance to win a pair of free flight tickets to Japan! From now until 26 September 2024, Wise is hosting an exciting giveaway for all Singapore travelers. Japan has become a top destination, and recent data from Wise shows a steady increase in transactions between Singapore and Japan from March to June 2024, with the highest surge of 27% in March. Convenience stores like 7-Eleven, Familymart, and Lawson are especially popular, making up about 20% of these transactions.

Wise offers a seamless international account that allows you to send, spend, receive, hold, and convert money in over 40 currencies, including Japanese Yen (JPY), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Chinese Yuan (CNY), Thai Baht (THB), and Korean Won (KRW). The account comes with a debit card that lets you spend globally in 175+ countries using Visa and Mastercard, all without hidden fees. Plus, Wise uses the mid-market exchange rate with no extra mark-ups, ensuring you get the best value for your money.

Top Money-Saving Tips for Travelers

As you gear up for your next adventure, here are some crucial tips to help you save money and manage your funds wisely:

  • Check your card’s fees and exchange rates: Traditional card providers often use marked-up exchange rates, resulting in hidden fees. To avoid overpaying, choose a multi-currency provider like Wise, which offers the mid-market exchange rate and low upfront fees.
  • Be cautious with ATM withdrawals: Overseas ATM fees can be steep, with some countries charging up to 2.68%, as seen in the Philippines. To save, consider exchanging cash before your trip or using a multi-currency card like Wise. With the Wise card, you can withdraw money from ATMs worldwide for free twice a month for amounts under S$350.
  • Always pay in the local currency: When using your card abroad, opt to pay in the local currency rather than your home currency to avoid dynamic currency conversion fees.

Hurry, the giveaway ends on 26 September 2024.
