For EZ reload, its only 25c / top up of $50, so I will choose this instead of UOB Preferred Platinum Visa card. Also, for my online purchases, UOB Preferred Platinum Visa card dose not give me 10x at my merchants I shop at. Anyway my other non-UOB cards earns me 100k miles / year, and I can only take 1 holiday a year so I don't need to generate so much miles yet, and I will consolidate to 1 or 2 banks credit cards.
But for people who uses UOB Preferred Platinum Visa card, it is indeed very lucrative for miles.
