Oh man! I forgot that telecommunications is also excluded. Just paid my Singtel bill online with the UOB PPV. So you get like 0 miles or you get at least something?

You will still get 1 UNI$ for every S$5 spending.

Great! Completely forgot about the cashback on AMEX Imagine - turned out to be more than expected. If only we could see more than 10 transactions into the past. Thanks for the reminder ^

Got mine also! A bit more than I expected as well, maybe they count by transaction date then the posting date. Some of my payments settled after 6 Dec are also counted in the rebate.

I saw the offer. I wonder if you can now top up with the ANZ card and get the 5% cash rebate (as it would show as a Ezlink expense). what's your thoughts?

:(:(:(:(:(

Thank goodness I just converted my Maybank points to KF. Faxed the form over on 31 Dec 2013. The conversion rate is not an issue for me, at least it is still better than the conversion in blocks of 10,000 miles for UOB.

What I love about Maybank Horizon Platinum is the free miles conversion, but without this no more use for the card.

Time to concentrate on PRVI, PPV and PPAmex.

Things seem to have sped up. Yesterday's spend on my UOB PPV has already been posted to my UNI$ balance.

It's < 2 months to redeem your Maybank tr'eats points from now to 28 Feb 2014.

Every year the tr'eats points required to redeem vouchers keep increasing! Increase 50 points!! 2350 tr'eats points for S$10 voucher.
Same for UOB to redeem for vouchers in 2014!! UNI$700 (spend >S$3500) for a S$10 voucher!!
https://uniservices.uobgroup.com/NAS...vlet?member=no

Yes... the Maybank t'reats points are only valid for ONE YEAR!! My points expiry date change from 31/12/2013 to 31/12/2014!!

Maybank cards used to be very attractive in late 2008 onwards but from 2013 onwards are :td:

ANZ Travel card is still Singapore's No. 1 card for miles and cashback!!
