What should I focus on for Standard Chartered and Citibank SMRT card, or should I be thinking about getting the UOB ONE card too?

Cashback fan here!

I've just gotten both the Standard Chartered and Citibank SMRT card recently.

My usual purchases include topping up GrabPay wallet (for my MIL Timezone), Singtel Dash top-up, app purchases (ie Taobao, Shopee etc), websites like Agoda for travel and offline dinning. I don't usually buy fashion items if so is over Shopee or taobao that's why.

Of course, there are other bill payments like my phone bill... Utility bill not yet.

Do you have a minimum spending per month?

If you have at least $500, UOB one will be a good choice, due to the quarterly rebate. The billing is the frustrating one, and do take note of the T&C of the card.

Do take note grab TOP up for UOB will not be eligible for the quarterly rebate starting from 16 March.

I used SMRT to complement as I really need to take transport on a daily basis. The EZ reload is useful and there is a 2% smrt dollar rebate.

I think getting a UOB one card is good - especially with the account! I'm thinking of getting it too. Just make sure you can hit the min spending requirement

I think the UOB ONE card is pretty good if you can meet the criteria for cashback.

UOB One - spend $500 or $1,000 monthly for 3% cashback. If you are able to consolidate all your expenses to $2,000 monthly, you get 5% cashback. Either way, it boasts to be one of the highest cashback card.

Additionally, they have more relaxed terms and this is certainly worth the shot.

Here is everything about me and what I do best.

I would definitely recommend you to use the UOB One card and charge to it till you hit $500/$1000/$2...
