The much-anticipated Great Singapore Sale (GSS) is here. From 29 May to 26 July 2009, Singapore will go into a shopping frenzy for two whole months as the GSS returns for the 16th consecutive year.  “Given the current economic climate, we are going back to basics and focusing on giving consumers what they really want – great savings and great value – to help shoppers stretch their dollar and buy more for less,” said Ms Lau Chuen Wei, Executive Director, Singapore Retailers Association (SRA). “Consumers can look forward to great discounts of up to 70 per cent, value deals under S$50, as well as 1-for-1 deals at various participating outlets island-wide.” This year, consumers will have even more offers and more options to choose from. In addition to the thousands of stores island-wide that have since become regular participants of the annual GSS, this year’s Sale will also see the participation of tenants of the three newest malls in Singapore – Iluma, Orchard Central, and Tampines 1 - as well as other first-time participants. “The much-anticipated Great Singapore Sale (GSS) is here. From 29 May to 26 July 2009, Singapore will go into a shopping frenzy for two whole months as the GSS returns for the 16th consecutive year.” Ms Lau added: “To entice Singaporeans and visitors to spend their holidays in Singapore, the Singapore Retailers Association has actively engaged retailers, shopping centers, and even restaurants, attractions and hotels, to participate with irresistible offers, so that consumers can enjoy great value-for-money on a whole range of lifestyle offerings – from shopping, to dining and even hotel stays – for a perfect holiday right here in Singapore.”For the first time, the Restaurant Association of Singapore will be participating in the GSS with the Great Singapore Feast (dates to be confirmed), featuring signature dishes of participating restaurants at tempting discounts to whet the appetites of food lovers. The Association of Singapore Attractions will also be offering discounts on admission to participating attractions island-wide with the Great Singapore Pass. And participating hotels from the Singapore Hotel Association will be offering value deals on 1N/2D Weekend Stays to give locals the chance to enjoy affordable and relaxing ‘staycations’ in Singapore. A host of additional privileges await MasterCard cardholders, with discounts from 10 to 70 per cent at a variety of retail, dining and leisure outlets. Cardholders also stand a chance of receiving great value back on their purchases with $15,000 worth of Raffles City Shopping vouchers to be redeemed every week of the Sale. What’s more, visitors who charge $100 of their purchases to MasterCard and claim their GST refunds at Global Refund, could win a return trip to Singapore. To take advantage of the special privileges and rewards, all visitors need to do is pick up the Tourist Privilege Card from the Singapore Visitors Centers or download it from Greatsingaporesale.com.sg, and present it with their passports at the participating outlets to enjoy even bigger bargains for a great value-for-money holiday.
