It looks like you will need to present a SCB credit card in order to take advantage of this deal:
1. Standard Chartered Bank credit card must be presented at the time of booking, check-in and payment.
yep, looks like it…but you can register just in case; who knows what really happens when you check in!
thanks, gary 🙂
