Has this happened to anyone here and were you able to find a workaround?

I went to the Branch and they said it's only possible to apply for those cards online. The customer hotline can't help me and direct me back to the branch. I know that existing UOB account holders are able to apply for these two cards via online banking. Now I'm thinking I might just need to open a bank account with UOB to apply for these two cards.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

if all else fails, go to their branch and apply for a basic credit card. A savings or current account will also help the application. Once you get the account and credit limit etc, it's easier to apply for premium cards. At least that's what I was informed.

Unfortunately UOB was unable to 'find' my credit report and rejected my application for basic card. This when I was able to get cards from Citi, Amex and DBS.
