SAF Day was 1 July, and the appreciation campaign it kicked off closed on 31 August 2026. The headline bundles went with it: Burger King's $10.95 Book Out Bundle, Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza's $15.90 two-pax set, the $72 Universal Studios adult ticket and the $99 JBL. SAFRA's standing catalogue kept going, but it has changed again since our 2 September check. The standing 1-for-1 hotel buffets and the 40% Furama buffets were replaced by 20% off the total bill at all 11 of those hotel restaurants, for SAFRA members only, and Food Capital's weekday 1-for-1 seafood buffet has now run out too. Mandai still takes 30% off all seven parks to 31 March 2027, Cable Car 25% off to the same date, and Jacob's Cafe 10% off to 30 June 2027. The bigger shift is who qualifies: most standing deals now need a SAFRA card, and an 11B on its own opens only a handful. Here is what is live, who can use it, and what closed.
The 1 July to 31 August 2026 campaign has closed. SAFRA's standing catalogue did not, but since 2 September most of it has become SAFRA members only.
> Quick view: best still live: Mandai 30% off to 31 Mar 2027 (Mon to Thu, open to 11B holders). Catch: the hotel buffets are now 20% off for SAFRA members only, and the last 1-for-1 (Food Capital's weekday seafood buffet) ended 31 Oct.
The biggest single-ticket saving still standing, and one of the few SAFRA lists for both SAFRA members and 11B holders. Mandai Wildlife Reserve gives 30% off prevailing adult and child admission from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027 at Rainforest Wild Adventure (including up to five Adventure+ activities), Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Bird Paradise, River Wonders, Curiosity Cove and Exploria. The fine print does the damage: weekday visits Monday to Thursday only, not valid on public holidays or their eves, and a maximum of four single-park admission tickets per transaction per day. The terms add that Night Safari opens only Thursday to Sunday in non-peak seasons, so outside school holidays the Night Safari leg of this deal works on Thursdays alone. Book through safra-online.globaltix.com using SAFRA2026 as the Login ID. The listing card is tagged for SAFRA and 11B holders, but the promotion page prices it as member rates and its terms ask SAFRA members to sign up for a Wildpass membership, so confirm your eligibility before paying.

SHORT LIST: almost everything else now wants a SAFRA card, so this is the list for servicemen without one.WINGS OF TIME: 25% off Fireworks Symphony standard tickets to 31 March 2027. Its terms still read 'applicable to SAFRA & 11B members only', although the page heading says 'SAFRA Members' Exclusive', so confirm at the counter before relying on an 11B. Shows are at 7.40pm and 8.40pm daily; tickets are open-dated and need an advance reservation.CHANGI VILLAGE CAFE: Jacob's Cafe at 5 Changi Village Road #01-2049 gives 10% off a la carte food and beverages to SAFRA members or an 11B, dine-in and takeaway only (not online orders or delivery), applied before service charge. SAFRA's promotion page now runs it to 30 June 2027, two months earlier than the 31 August 2027 it showed in October, and the cafe has dropped off the category pages, so go by the promotion page.GETGO CARSHARING: new users get $16 off a first drive with no minimum spend on code SAFRA26GG16, for bookings scheduled and completed by 31 January 2027 and not on public holidays or their eves.NOW ENDED: British Council's 30% off two or more Professional Skills workshops reached its twice-extended end date on 31 October 2026 and is no longer on SAFRA's listings.

This is the correction that matters most, because the buffets were our top pick on 2 September. SAFRA has since rewritten every one of those promotion pages to the same offer: 20% off the total bill, SAFRA members' exclusive, with a valid SAFRA card or e-card shown in person on ordering and payment. It applies at Princess Terrace Authentic Penang Cuisine and Tien Court (Copthorne King's Hotel), The Orchard Cafe, Bar Intermezzo and Hua Ting (Orchard Hotel), Food Capital (Grand Copthorne Waterfront), MEMO Cafe (Studio M Hotel) and Beast & Butterflies (M Social), all to 31 December 2026. Tiffany Cafe & Restaurant (Furama City Centre), Kintamani and Apollo (Furama RiverFront) run to 28 February 2027, and there the 20% also works on Furama food delivery with code SAFRA20. The 1-for-1 lunch and dinner buffets at Princess Terrace and The Orchard Cafe, Bar Intermezzo's 1-for-1 high tea, Hua Ting's free main course, Food Capital's third-adult-free and the 40% Furama buffets no longer appear on SAFRA's pages. The one 1-for-1 that came back in October has run its course: Food Capital's Seafood Mania Buffet (Vietnamese specialties, Monday to Friday, 5 October to 1 November 2026) ended on a Sunday, so its last valid day was Friday 31 October, and no 1-for-1 is left on SAFRA's hotel pages. Food Capital's 20% off still applies on all days. Beast & Butterflies excludes alcohol and does not run on public holidays or their eves, and the Millennium hotel outlets ask you to check for blackout dates.

The long end dates hide a change in who qualifies. Singapore Cable Car's terms read 'applicable to SAFRA members only' for 25% off SkyPass, SkyPass Premium and SkyOrb round trips to 31 March 2027, alongside a 35% bundle of SkyPass Premium with Wings of Time Fireworks Symphony and Adventure Cove at $67 adult and $55 child (max six tickets per transaction, same-day use). Majestic Fast Ferry's $6 off round trips to 30 June 2027 asks for a valid SAFRA card in person at purchase, though each member can bring up to four accompanying family members at the same price if they travel together. New in October: Peach's SAFRA members' fare to Osaka is $458 per person round trip with 20kg checked and 7kg carry-on baggage, excluding $110 airport taxes, for travel on 8-12 January, 18-24 January or 11-15 February 2027 only. Book by emailing peach@euholidays.com.sg with a screenshot of your SAFRA e-card; the offer is listed from 9 October to 15 November 2026 and seats are limited. SneakSurf's 10% off regular-priced items plus a further $15 off min. $300 spend runs on codes SAFRA10 and SAFRA15 to 30 June 2027, in store at Suntec City, Tampines Mall and Bugis Junction or online. Wild Wild Wet takes 20% off off-peak and peak day passes with a minimum of two passes on code WWWSAFRA, online only, to 31 December 2026. SAFRA's listing cards tag the Cable Car, ferry and SneakSurf as open to 11B holders, but each promotion page says members only, and the promotion page is the one the counter follows.

These are all SAFRA members' exclusives as of 1 November. Trapped Escape Room gives $5 off tickets with a minimum of four players on code SAFRA5, and Triggered Games SG at Cineleisure gives 15% off with a minimum of four tickets on code SAFRA15, both to 31 December 2026. Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum gives 10% off admission at its ticketing counter, up to five tickets per card per day, to 31 December 2026. Viu takes 20% off a 90-day Premium plan at S$26.35 (U.P. S$32.94) or a 180-day plan at S$52.70 (U.P. S$65.88), and the 40% off 365-day plan is listed again at S$79.06 (U.P. S$131.76); all three now end on 19 November 2026, not 31 March 2027 as SAFRA's page said in September, and the plans auto-renew at the same price unless cancelled. GetGo gives existing users who are SAFRA members 12% off the time charge, capped at $6, once a month on code SAFRA26GG12OFF, for bookings completed by 31 January 2027. STA Inspection Centre gives 10% off vehicle inspection at Sin Ming and Jalan Boon Lay to 31 December 2027. Burger King gives a free treat with any regular-priced meal (not Value Your Way) at 11 outlets including SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, Jurong Point and VivoCity, after breakfast hours, to 31 December 2026. SAFRA's own Fall(40%)In campaign gives members 40% off off-peak bookings of SAFRA function rooms, seminar rooms and theatrettes (Monday to Thursday, not public holidays, personal bookings only), for bookings made by 31 March 2027 and events held 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027.

SAFRA splits its Appreciating NSmen pages into two halves. The 'For National Servicemen (SAF and HomeTeam)' pages say all servicemen present their 11B and that most deals cover SAF and Home Team servicemen alike. The 'For SAFRA Members' pages require a valid SAFRA membership card or e-card. The trap is that most offers sitting on the servicemen pages now carry a 'SAFRA Members Only' tag or members-only terms, including all 11 hotel restaurants. The rule that has held all year: where a listing card and the merchant's own promotion page disagree, believe the promotion page. It has also changed twice in two weeks, so open the individual page and read the terms line on the day you plan to go.
Noted so you are not hunting for them, because summary listings written in July still carry them. Burger King's Book Out Bundle at $10.95 (U.P. $25.40) has ended, as has Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza's two-pax Book Out Bundle at $15.90 (U.P. $29.40) and Springleaf Prata Place's 10% off at SAFRA Jurong, Tampines and Yishun. On attractions, Universal Studios Singapore one-day adult tickets at $72 (U.P. $89) are gone, along with Klook's $30 off min. $400, Dream Cruises, Royal Albatross' 20% off cruises on SAFDAY20, Park Regis and The Fullerton. On retail, Best Denki's JBL Sense Lite at $99 (U.P. $169), Samsung's up to 40% off, Atome and Toys"R"Us $10 off min. $60 have closed, as has Bose's QuietComfort at $389 for members. The F&B table went with them: Carl's Jr, Carnivore, Carousel, Cat & the Fiddle, Delifrance, Haidilao, Mister Donut, PastaMania, Peach Garden, Sushiro, Swensen's, Wingstop, Yum Cha and the rest. Carousel's 50% off the second diner deserves a note, because it is a hotel buffet that several roundups still file with the long-running ones.
MINDEF's OneNS portal (ns.gov.sg) runs the 'We Support NS' merchant directory, and it is widely treated as a year-round backstop for when the SAFRA campaign ends. It is not. Its listings carried the same 1 July to 31 August 2026 window, and the two catalogues overlapped heavily: Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza, Yum Cha, PastaMania, Haidilao, Sushiro, Delifrance, Hua Ting, Tien Court, Bar Intermezzo, The Orchard Cafe, Winestone, Apollo, Tiffany, Kintamani, MEMO Cafe and Royal Albatross all sat on both. The one entry OneNS genuinely added, Genki Sushi's 10% off with a min. spend of $50 nett for dine-in on your 11B or in uniform, ran 1 July to 31 August 2026 and has ended. Two details worth remembering for next year: Genki defined that $50 nett as before prevailing GST and service charge, and the offer needed an 11B specifically, with a SAFRA membership card alone not enough.
SAF Day fell on 1 July, and the thank-you ran the full campaign period, 1 July to 31 August 2026. Every headline number written about SAF Day 2026, the $10.95 Burger King bundle, the $15.90 pizza set, the $72 Universal Studios ticket, the $99 JBL, belonged to that two-month table and went with it.
SAFRA's Appreciating NSmen pages also carry a standing catalogue of year-round deals, with end dates running to 31 December 2027. On 2 September that catalogue was the better half, led by 1-for-1 hotel buffets open to any 11B holder. By 13 September SAFRA had rewritten the hotel dining offers to a flat 20% off for SAFRA members, and tagged most of the rest members only. This update follows each individual promotion page, not the category cards.
| Deal | 2 Sep check | 13 Sep check | Who qualifies now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Princess Terrace | 1-for-1 lunch (Mon to Fri) and dinner (Sun to Thu) buffets | 20% off total bill, to 31 Dec 2026 | SAFRA members only |
| The Orchard Cafe / Bar Intermezzo | 1-for-1 buffets / 1-for-1 high tea, Mon to Thu | 20% off total bill, to 31 Dec 2026 | SAFRA members only |
| Tiffany, Kintamani, Apollo | 40% off buffets | 20% off total bill, to 28 Feb 2027 | SAFRA members only |
| Hua Ting / Food Capital | Free main with two ordered / third adult free | 20% off total bill, to 31 Dec 2026; Food Capital's 1-for-1 seafood buffet (Mon to Fri, 5 Oct to 1 Nov) has ended | SAFRA members only |
| Viu | Up to 40% off Premium | 20% off 90- and 180-day plans, 40% off 365 days, now to 19 Nov 2026 | SAFRA members only |
| British Council | Treated as closed 31 Aug | 30% off two+ workshops, extended to 31 Oct 2026, now ended | Closed |
Why the buffets matter. Our 2 September update made the 1-for-1 buffets the top reason to keep this guide open, and said no membership was needed. Both are no longer true on SAFRA's own promotion pages. If you planned a 1-for-1 buffet on an 11B, call the restaurant first; Food Capital's weekday seafood buffet, the last 1-for-1 on SAFRA's pages, ended on 31 October.
Noted so you are not hunting for them, because roundups written in July still list them as live:
One listing to ignore: McDonald's free McChicken Be-Our-Guest cards still carry a 31 December 2026 end date, but SAFRA's own page says fully redeemed at all seven clubs as at 12 July.
*Deal details re-verified on 1 Nov 2026 against SAFRA's Appreciating NSmen Deals category pages and merchant tables (F&B, Shopping & Lifestyle, Travel & Local Attractions, Entertainment, Health & Beauty, Education & Enrichment, plus the For SAFRA Members pages) and the individual SAFRA promotion pages for all 11 hotel restaurants, Mandai, Singapore Cable Car, Wings of Time, Wild Wild Wet, Majestic Fast Ferry, SneakSurf, GetGo, Viu, Trapped, Triggered Games SG, Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, STA Inspection Centre, Peach, Jacob's Cafe, British Council (ended 31 Oct), Burger King and SAFRA Fall(40%)In. Genki Sushi's dates verified against MINDEF's OneNS "We Support NS" listing. Terms, dates and outlets are set by each merchant and can change, so confirm before redeeming.

SAF Day falls on 1 July every year, marking the founding of the Singapore Armed Forces. The appreciation campaign it launched ran longer: SAFRA's Appreciating NSmen campaign ran 1 July to 31 August 2026, and MINDEF's OneNS 'We Support NS' listings carried the same window. Both have closed, which most roundups written in July have not caught up with. What is still running is SAFRA's standing catalogue of year-round deals on the same pages, with end dates from 15 November 2026 to 31 December 2027. That catalogue keeps moving, though: between 2 and 13 September SAFRA replaced its 1-for-1 hotel buffets with a flat 20% off for SAFRA members, so check the individual promotion page before you go.
Not any more. On 2 September SAFRA listed 1-for-1 buffets at Princess Terrace (Copthorne King's Hotel), The Orchard Cafe and Bar Intermezzo, plus 40% off buffets at Tiffany Cafe, Kintamani and Apollo. By 13 September every one of those promotion pages, along with Hua Ting, Food Capital, MEMO Cafe, Tien Court and Beast & Butterflies, had been rewritten to a single offer: 20% off the total bill, SAFRA members' exclusive, with a valid SAFRA card or e-card shown on ordering and payment. It runs to 31 December 2026, or 28 February 2027 at Tiffany, Kintamani and Apollo, where code SAFRA20 also works on Furama's food delivery. The last exception, Food Capital's 1-for-1 Seafood Mania Buffet at Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Monday to Friday, 5 October to 1 November 2026, SAFRA members only), had its final valid day on Friday 31 October. Servicemen holding only an 11B no longer qualify. For 1-for-1 buffets that need no card at all, see our 1-for-1 buffet guide linked below.
For most standing deals you now need the SAFRA card. The 11 hotel restaurants, Singapore Cable Car, Majestic Fast Ferry, SneakSurf, Wild Wild Wet, Trapped Escape Room, Triggered Games SG, Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, STA Inspection Centre, Viu's 20% plans and Burger King's free treat are all written as SAFRA members' exclusives. An 11B on its own still opens a short list: Wings of Time (terms read 'SAFRA & 11B members', 25% off to 31 March 2027), Mandai (its listing is tagged for SAFRA and 11B holders, though the terms ask for a Wildpass sign-up, so confirm before booking), Jacob's Cafe at Changi Village (10% off to 30 June 2027) and GetGo's $16 new-user code. British Council's workshop discount, the fifth, ended on 31 October 2026. If the members-only deals matter to you, price a SAFRA membership against what you would save.
The two-month campaign table, which held nearly every headline number. Gone: Burger King's Book Out Bundle at $10.95 (U.P. $25.40), Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza's two-pax Book Out Bundle at $15.90 (U.P. $29.40), Springleaf Prata Place's 10% off at SAFRA Jurong, Tampines and Yishun, Universal Studios Singapore adult day tickets at $72 (U.P. $89), Best Denki's JBL Sense Lite at $99 (U.P. $169), Samsung's up to 40% off, Atome, Toys"R"Us $10 off min. $60, Klook $30 off min. $400, Dream Cruises, Royal Albatross' 20% off cruises, Park Regis, The Fullerton, Carousel's 50% off the second diner, and the F&B list including Carl's Jr, Haidilao, PastaMania, Peach Garden, Sushiro, Swensen's, Wingstop and Yum Cha. Genki Sushi's OneNS deal ended the same day. SAFRA's Appreciating NSmen pages now list no Universal Studios offer, so anyone searching for a SAFRA USS discount will not find one there until the next campaign.
Largely yes. SAFRA's category pages are titled 'For National Servicemen (SAF and HomeTeam)' and state that most deals are available to both SAF and Home Team servicemen, so Home Team personnel showing their identity card qualify wherever an 11B does: Wings of Time, Mandai, Jacob's Cafe and GetGo's new-user code. The members-only offers need a SAFRA membership whatever service ID you hold. HomeTeamNS also runs its own member deals and clubhouse facilities, worth checking alongside the SAFRA list.
