UBS Visa Infinite launched 5/27/2017
Lots of conflicting info on this one, either 25000 or 50000 bonus, non UBS members may or may not be eligible to apply, application is by mail or phone. I guess we will all see tomorrow. $495 fee, $250 airline credit, $100 visa infinite domestic flight credit (!). The variable reward rates are really weird, based on what I see it is as follows
$250 - $350: 25000
$351-$400: 30000
$401-$450: 35000
$451-$500: 40000
$501-$550: 45000
$551-$900: 50000

i have it. Reward bonus is basically like company buying you a ticket. I got 25000 bonus though some people randomly had bonus increased to 50,000. Haven’t used concierge. For fee credit you have to call in and have charges credited.

UBS Visa Infinite
There is very little posting about this card and only related to the launch in 2017. The benefits are competitive with other similar cards, but the requirement to have a UBS relationship to have any online access is very limiting. The concierge service is through Aspire and I have found travel requests have exceeded my expectations. I am not aware of the hierarchy levels at Aspire, but my current experiences with UBS have far exceeded my past disappointments with Aspire.
Anyone else have experience with this card?

I just received an offer for this card with no annual fee, 50k bonus miles, the benefits pretty much as stated above. Not sure whether it is targeted, I do have a banking relationship with ubs.

I have been impressed with the level of service when calling UBS customer service. The agents all present as more experienced and able to apply a significant amount of judgement. Also, I have found the level of Aspire VIP Desk employees assigned to concierge requests is much higher than my experiences with Aspire VIP Desk using any Citi card.

UBS has many new offers: https://www.ubs.com/us/en/wealth-man...ampaign-1.html
Although $10K spend in 3 months is too much, the first annual fee is waived. I have 2 questions:
1) Do you need to be a client in order to get that card? If yes, I cannot find a way to open a checking account
2) Any datapoint on those $250 for incidentals? Any gift cards that work (I know officially no)? Is it per calendar year or card annual year?

I had to call to clarify. So you are wrong here. You can still apply for the card without having an account with them but the sign up bonus decreased to 25K and another 25K after renewal. I guess it's still a not bad deal. Will think about it more.
