Is DBS Woman's card the only card available in Singapore with 10X online spend with any airline or any online merchant? It is good to see it can be used for airline purchases online, but given the $2,000 calender month limit part of the ticket if over $2,000 in total, will not earn 10X.
I know UOB Preferred Platinum Visa can be used online for 10X points but only for clothes, shoes, bags, electronic items, books, movie tickets and fast food delivery order online
Also, if you buy a ticket on singaporeair.com costing $3,000, will you get 10X UNI$ on the first $2,000 and 1X UNI$ on the balance? In which case, the average earn will keep on going down the higher the value of the transaction
