Singapore’s 2025 $300 CDC Vouchers: Redemption Guide & Participating Outlets

$300 CDC Vouchers for Singapore Households in 2025: Where to Redeem Them

To provide continued financial support amid rising living costs, the Singapore government has once again rolled out the Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers Scheme in 2025. As part of the Assurance Package, each Singaporean household is eligible to receive S$300 in CDC Vouchers, with an additional S$500 disbursed later in the year — making it S$800 total for 2025.

This comprehensive guide outlines how to claim, where to use, redemption rules, and everything else you need to know about the CDC vouchers in 2025.

🔍 What Are CDC Vouchers?

The CDC Vouchers Scheme was first introduced in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to support both Singaporean households and local businesses. The vouchers encourage residents to spend within their neighbourhoods, benefiting hawkers, heartland shops, and participating supermarkets.

In 2025, this initiative continues in full swing with two main disbursements:

• S$300 from 3 January 2025
• S$500 from 13 May 2025

All vouchers are fully funded by the government and expire on 31 December 2025.

🏠 Who Is Eligible?

✅ All Singaporean households are eligible for the CDC Vouchers.
There are no income or property ownership criteria — as long as you live in a household with a registered Singaporean citizen, you qualify.

Each household can claim:

• S$300 in January 2025 (S$150 for supermarkets + S$150 for heartland merchants)
• S$500 in May 2025 (S$250 for supermarkets + S$250 for heartland merchants)

Even if you live alone or are renting, as long as you’re part of a Singaporean household, you’re entitled to the vouchers.

🧾 How to Claim the $300 CDC Vouchers (January 2025 Tranche)

Claiming the vouchers is quick and secure, taking just a few minutes online:

1. Visit: go.gov.sg/cdcv
2. Login with your Singpass
3. Claim the voucher for your household (only one member needs to do it)
4. Receive a SMS link with your digital vouchers
5. Share the link with other household members if needed

📱 Important: You will receive an official SMS from “gov.sg” with your unique voucher link.
💡 If you lose it, simply log in again to retrieve it.

🧓 Don’t Have a Smartphone or Singpass?

If you are unable to claim vouchers online due to device limitations or Singpass issues, visit your nearest Community Centre (CC) or Community Club (CC). Staff will help:

• Assist with digital claiming
• Issue physical vouchers if the digital version hasn’t been claimed yet
• Support elderly or less digitally savvy residents

☎️ You can also call the PA Contact Centre at 6225 5322 for help.

🛒 Where Can You Use the CDC Vouchers?

The vouchers are divided into two categories:

• 💳 S$150 (Jan) / S$250 (May) – for supermarkets
• 💵 S$150 (Jan) / S$250 (May) – for hawkers and heartland merchants

You must spend the vouchers within the correct category, and no change is given if your purchase is less than the voucher amount.

🚫 What You CANNOT Use the Vouchers For

Certain items and services are excluded from CDC Voucher usage:

• Lottery or betting products (e.g. Singapore Pools)
• Alcohol or tobacco products
• Petrol, diesel, or automotive services
• Online purchases (e.g. Lazada, Shopee, Amazon)
• Non-participating outlets

The vouchers are strictly for in-person use and cannot be used for e-commerce.

🔐 Avoid Scams: Important Security Tips

Unfortunately, CDC voucher scams are becoming more common. Here’s how to protect yourself:

✔️ The official link to your voucher always starts with:
https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg/

❌ Do not click on suspicious links from unknown senders.
❌ The government will never ask for your banking info to claim vouchers.

If you suspect a scam, report it immediately via:

• ScamShield
• ScamShield Helpline: 1799

🔄 What If You Just Moved Into a New Flat?

Some households face issues when moving into new HDB flats, especially resale units, where the previous occupant may have already claimed vouchers tied to that address.

👉 If this happens:

1. Update your NRIC address
2. Visit your nearest CC to lodge an appeal
3. Bring along documentation (e.g. tenancy agreement or HDB resale documents)

The authorities will investigate and, if successful, reissue the vouchers to your household.

📅 When Do the Vouchers Expire?

All CDC vouchers — both January and May tranches — expire on 31 December 2025. There will be no extensions, so make sure to use them up before then.

🆕 May 2025 Update: Additional $500 Vouchers

As announced in Budget 2025, the government introduced another S$500 in CDC Vouchers:

• 💳 S$250 for supermarkets
• 💵 S$250 for hawkers/heartland shops
• 🗓️ Claim from 13 May 2025 via go.gov.sg/cdcv

Together with the January tranche, each household receives a total of S$800 in 2025.

📌 Tips to Maximise Your CDC Vouchers

Here are some tips to make the most of your vouchers:

1. Use Them Early

Don’t wait till December — vouchers expire year-end. Use them for regular expenses like groceries or meals.

2. Share the Link with Family

Once claimed, the voucher link can be shared with family members so everyone can use them.

3. Combine with Promotions

Some shops offer promotions when you pay with CDC Vouchers. Look out for in-store deals.

4. Use Small Denominations First

Break your purchases to suit the denomination — if your item costs S$2.50 and you use a S$5 voucher, you won’t get change.

5. Check for New Merchants

New merchants join the CDC programme regularly. Visit the CDC Vouchers portal often to discover more outlets.
