Without a doubt, Singapore is a shopping paradise. From Orchard Road to neighbourhood malls, you can say that the locals love shopping malls – if not for shopping then at least for the cool respite from the heat. When Jewel Changi Airport opened earlier this year, the world welcomed it with open arms. More than just a mall, it’s where shoppers can take a break from the hustle and bustle of shopping and admire the lush indoor greenery, or immerse in the many play attractions at the Canopy Park. Shopping at Jewel also has its unique merits – here are three things you need to know for an extra delightful shopping experience!
1. Double dip and earn Changi Rewards and CapitaStar points as you shop and dine!
As Jewel is a joint venture between Changi Airport Group and CapitaLand, this means that shoppers get to enjoy the unique perk of accumulating both Changi Rewards points and CapitaStar STAR$®! Your Changi Rewards points allow you to redeem from an extensive rewards catalogue - from premiums, Jewel attraction bundles to KrisFlyer miles. As a member, you will also enjoy GST-absorption for your purchases at participating outlets in the public areas of the airport. STAR$® can be used to redeem CapitaVouchers which you can spend in participating CapitaLand malls (more shopping!). If you’re not a member yet, sign up for both the Changi Rewards and CapitaStar memberships and follow these instructions to start double dipping. Psst! Both memberships are free!
2. Shopping with kids? You can drop them off at YOTELAIR for their naps!
With so many things to do in Jewel, you’ll need at least one day to explore this iconic 10-storey complex. For those visiting with young children, we understand how much of a hassle it can be. The number of things to bring surpasses a one-week hiking trip – from stroller, snacks to entertainment, the list seems endless. And for the younger ones who still need their naps, it’s even more challenging. Which is why YOTELAIR is the perfect solution for a full day of play at Jewel. Book a 4-hour stay where your little one can nap comfortably while you rest your feet after a tiring morning of shopping. Inspired by luxury first class aircraft design, the ‘cabins’ have all of the amenities your family needs to rest and freshen up before exploring the rest of Jewel.
Festive promotion: Book a 4-hour stay for S$100++ and receive Canopy Park entrance tickets for two. Promotion is valid from now to 28 December 2019.
3. Look your absolute best at these first-in-Singapore fashion boutiques
One of the most awkward situations during a gathering is spotting someone carrying the same handbag or wearing the same jewellery as you. But no one piece or style looks the same, so be creative in your outfit pairing! And for the extra differentiation, shop from these first-in-Singapore fashion boutiques, only at Jewel!
