Marina Bay Sands (MBS) is undoubtedly one of the most iconic places of interest in Singapore. It features a flagship luxury shopping mall, The Shoppes, and the MBS hotel, which is well known for having the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, allowing you to gaze at the city skyline from 57-storey high.
If you love going for a weekend staycation at the MBS hotel, or enjoy shopping and catching up with friends over tea at The Shoppes, then you need to know about the Sands Rewards Lifestyle rewards programme.

What Is The Sands Rewards LifeStyle Membership About?
The Sands Rewards Lifestyle Membership is a free, earn-to-redeem lifetime loyalty programme that anyone aged 18 and above (except employees of MBS) can join and enjoy exclusive perks by spending at participating outlets in MBS.
Similar to the cashback you can earn on credit cards, for every dollar that you spend at MBS using the Sands Rewards LifeStyle membership card, you will earn rebates in the form of Reward Dollar. You can then redeem these Reward Dollars like cash on your future purchases at the participating outlets at MBS. Each $1.2 Reward Dollar earned can be redeemed for $1 worth of goods and services at over 250 participating locations, including hotels, attractions, restaurants, and retail brands.
If you shop at MBS frequently, you can earn up to 10% of your total spending (excluding GST and service charge) in Rewards Dollars. However, keep in mind that you can only have up to 100,000 Reward Dollars in your membership account at any given time. Anything in excess and you will not be able to receive any more Rewards Dollars. Also, the Rewards Dollars that you accumulate will be valid for only 12 months from the date of earning. Thereafter, the earlier Rewards Dollars will expire on a first-in, first-out basis.
The membership is non-transferable, which means you will not be able to transfer Reward Dollars to another account. There is also an administrative fee of 20% for rewards redemption at all MBS participating outlets, except at F&B outlets.

What Benefits Can You Enjoy As A Sands Rewards LifeStyle Member?
As a Sands Rewards Lifestyle member, you will be able to enjoy a wide range of privileges and discounts across hotels, attractions and restaurants.
Hotel and Spa Rewards
#1 Earn 6% Reward Dollars with MBS Hotel
Though there is no discount on hotel stays for Sands Rewards Lifestyle members, booking a stay in MBS will earn you double the usual Rewards Dollars or 6% of your spending, which you can offset on your next booking.
For example, you can earn up to $30 in Reward Dollars per night based on a 6% dollar-to-point conversion for a hotel room that costs $500 a night.
Simply present your Sands Rewards Lifestyle member card (physical or digital) before you check out to earn the Reward Dollars.
#2 Get Discounts On Health and Wellness Experiences
Not only do you accumulate Reward Dollars from hotel stays, you also get to earn up to 10% instant Reward Dollars by booking any Banyan Tree Spa à la carte massage, spa package and fitness club personal training package.
Do note that you are required to present your Sands Rewards Lifestyle member card personally upon purchase to enjoy the savings. You will also need to make an advance appointment for any of the services.
Attractions Discounts
#1 Enjoy 30% Off SkyPark Observation Deck

Similarly, for the VR Gallery: We Live in an Ocean of Air, it would only cost $13.30 as a Sands Rewards member instead of the usual $19.
#3 Enjoy 30% Sampan Rides

A Sampan boat ride is originally priced at $13/pax but Sands Rewards Lifestyle members can purchase the ticket at 30% off the standard price and earn 3% instant Reward Dollars. If you love taking photos, you will be excited to know that your admission ticket comes with 4 digital photo files.
