- Updated on 13 Jun 2019One of the must have credit card if you are accumulating miles (Paywave/Contactless spending = 4 miles per dollar). Easily the most used card. Just beware of the monthly spending limit ($1,000), points are awarded in blocks of $5 and the merchants that do not award UNI$ (miles) but Smart$ (cashback).2 comments2Jefferson Soh

So little ppl use this card. I wonder why. This is the gem I feel.Chan Zui Mao Mao07 Jun 2018
Haha. Yeah. I agree. Personally, I prefer this over DBS Woman's World. Paywave no dispute one. lol - Updated on 13 Jun 2019One of the rare cards that rewards 4miles per dollar when you -using paywave, -shop online. with almost no requirements and a rather high 1k monthly cap for the above bonus miles. combine this with uob privi miles - you will be on your way to many free trips round the world2 comments1Wayne Lim

I believe the monthly cap for 4mpd is 1k, not 2k:)Jefferson Soh01 Jun 2018
Thanks. It's indeed 1k - Updated on 10 Jan 2019Found out about this recently. A good card if you want miles! Gives 4 miles per dollar spent if you use paywave (but only if you spend a minimum of $5)! Also gives 4 miles per dollar spent on popular sites such as fave and qoo10! Downside is, it took me 5 weeks to get the card. I applied for it, called them 2 weeks later when I didn't receive the card, and they said the card was likely lost in mail. They sent me another, and the same thing happened. Called them again, and this time I received it one week later. Took a total of 5 weeks to receive. Not sure if UOB or SingPost is at fault.0 comments1
- Updated on 30 May 2018I have been using this card for years together with UOB Preferred Platinum Amex card. This is good for small expenditure to accumulate UNI$. I especially like the 10 times UNI$ for spending online and VISA paywave. As there is a cap on UNI$ earned, I do not recommend this for high expenditure though. But as my spending is moderate, this card is good for me.0 comments0

No huge monthly spending nor a traveler, maybe cashback cards are more suitable. Personally I am fresh into the workforce only.

1) The UOB $5 rule. Spend $4.99? Good luck. No points for you. Spend $9.99? Congrats. I am giving you the same amount of points as the guy who spend just nice $5. 2) 1K spend limit for 10X points on online and contactless transactions 3) Use the card at SMART merchant? No points for you. SMARTS points instead, which cannot be converted to miles Unfortunately, you can't work around point 2 and 3. For point 1, you have to monitor your spend very very closely. PS: I still trying to fit this card into my strategy but I have not succeeded.

This sounds like a very late reply now but based on the categories you mentioned, I would choose Citi. The $5 block for UOB will make calculations a little bit tricky so I would avoid that. For Grab, these 2 cards don't give points. Citi is a hit and miss so it depends. Better miles card for your mentioned categories: Grab: Maybank Horizon Visa and AMEX Krisflyer card Dining Out: Maybank Horizon Visa.

Spending on UOB credit cards does not award you miles directly. Instead they are rewarded in the form UNI$ to be redeemed into miles. Not only do Miles/Travel card earn miles. Reward cards such as UOB Preferred platinum visa (PPV) earn UNI$ which can then be converted into miles. In fact not just UOB Cards work in this manner, DBS Cards work in the same way as well. So to answer your question, Yes you can (with the exception of Cashback/Rebate cards)

Personally, I'll stick with Citi.. UOB's rewards structure is in blocks of S$5 spent. Whereas citi's as I recall is for every dollar. You'll also vomit blood getting fee waivers from UOB.

If i were you, i would get OCBC Titanium Rewards. At the moment, there is a partnership promotion that allows you to earn up to 11 miles per dollar. Take a look at this page which explains the calculation. http://milelion.com/2018/04/19/ocbc-titanium-rewards-offering-6-mpd-on-mileslife/ By the way, i don't use either of the cards above, i use Citi Rewards, Ascend Amex, Maybank Horizon and DBS World Woman Card to collect miles. One card is not enough to cater for my different needs.
