For the UOB preferred plat visa top and tap, do we need to buy a card reader? Or can it be done at AXS machine and get 4 miles per $ as well?

Top and Tap online > complete it at an AXS machine or OCBC ATM Machine (takes 30 secs, dont have to be an OCBC customer)

Problem is mine didn't get the 4 MP$ it seems.

carrotjuice, interesting that you had success getting10x for restaurants that are part of a hotel- will check that out! (Interesting because UOB's terms state that such outlets are excluded!)

Yes I did, although I have personal friends who report getting the 10X on the same PPV card.

Then I tried calling in and the agent was completely clueless - though I don't blame him - they have have tonnes of things to know about regarding bank policies. However I was promised a call back from the technical department and that never materialized.

Anyone keeping track of their UOB UNI$ Spending?

I seem to be missing an update of points for spending over the weekend. They normally show up on Tuesday at 6am but it did not today. Wondering if anyone else also noticed this or if it has anything to do with the start of the month.

Yep, it seems to be happening to other people as well including me. I say let's give them some time to sort it out.

Okay...I have now moved to Singapore and will be applying for the CC soon. Just one quick question: how fast can the cards be processed? Within a week? Do I need to have my first pay-slip first?

Damn it I have logged into my balance at least 30 times over the past few days to see it stagnant.

I'm pending a Suites reservation for the past 4 days and although I have enough now, if I transfer with my current balance I'll need another 5K more for another flight later in Sept. A bit pointless to pay another $25 for that.


Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I should be checking HWZ as well

Your contract will suffice.

Signed up for the Esso Rewards membership and turned in my auto conversion form as well.

Hope to see the 1K KF points in August/September. :)

Esso just called me and feedback I have no points in my rewards card so auto conversion will not go through. Looks like it will only be eligible for people with at least 100 points or so as what the customer service officer mentioned. There goes the 1k KF miles. I can sign up the auto conversion if I have the 100 or so points. I don't drive so oh well...

Sorry this doesn't exactly belong here, but it's an interesting case of how local banks in Asia can behave when miles promos go horribly wrong:

Perhaps this is what is happening with UOB at the moment? Nothing is being posted to UNI$ accounts for the past few days.

Regarding DBS Women's Card

How does the 10X bonus post? Does it post separately?
I did some purchases online, chose to pay via paypal. Statement showing only a measly increase in DBS$



Edit: I have this feeling that UOB is going to introduce a cap for PPV 10X
