Thanks. I didn't realize that Uber even when used in SIN comes in as overseas transaction as I just saw that I was charged in SGD ultimately. Would that mean if one uses say Citi PM or DBS Altitude the transaction would qualify for 2mls per dollar?

Citi PM defines Local/Foreign by currency rather than geographic location:
https://www.citibank.com.sg/gcb/cred...s/cc_xx_pm.htm "Overseas spending is identified as transactions amount posted in foreign currency only"
In theory if you request multi-currency merchants locally to bill you in USD then you could (should?) get 2 miles per s$1. In reality, I don't know, never tried

Uber in SIN shows my charges in SGD. The charges in the app is exactly as in my banking statement.
Nowadays I usually take UberX or book a regular taxi to the airport.

Thanks for the info. I guess for the time being I'll have to be content with 1.3mls and 1 Starpoint per equivalent US$ spend when using UberX here in SIN which isn't horrible.

If you don't have all three cards and wiling to pay annual fees, you can get 45,000 miles for paying S$770.40. The perks are pretty much the same for all 3 cards except AMEX where you can get airport transfer. Also, now they offer 3 miles for every S$1 spent on SIA, SilkAir and KrisShop.

Not for me. I can pay international school fees at about 1.23 SGD cents per mile. Even that I normally don't take up because I am not burning them fast enough due to lack of availability for 4 seats generally, and I often worry about impending devaluations...
