No according to practical experience.

Haha, you are quite a funny one. For what it is worth, I'm not sure how wrong one can go when paying a delivery service with a credit card like the UOB PPV. My case in question was Foodmatters and the first time I charged it I checked with UOB afterwards and it counted for 10UNI$ as a Paypal transaction which is the only way that service accepts credit cards. Subsequent months the UNI$ balance looked off and UOB had not credited 10UNI$. Go figure, but hey we are talking UOB here.

Either way, as you are doubtless an experienced credit card optimizer and a smart and sharp cookie, you could start making this thread better and share what food delivery service you used that worked just fine for 10UNi$. Everyone can make claims and say the contributions by people here are poor, but maybe you want to add some actual value for a change and actually share some info that helps others instead of telling everyone actively posting here that we are kind of rubbish :D.

@ Staff - seems the sms method is applicable to only Singaporeans/PRs.

Instructions for a different card:
Apply via SMS for Singapore citizens and PRs
SMS <Yessignature>space<Last 4 digits of existing UOB Card>space<NRIC#> to 77862
For example: SMS Yessignature 7890 S1234567H to 77862.

As bolded above, this card is not the dining card - this is the Visa Signature card with 4x payawave miles.

The food delivery service I used was in fact Foodmatters. It used my UOB credit card and got 10UNI$ when ordering my meals. My favorite is the Lentil salad with curry vinaigrette. I have it twice a week, I recommend it.

You should call UOB and the Foodmatters to sort it out.

Well there you go. Thanks for sharing, see we are getting somewhere ;). Have you checked / tallied your monthly UNI$ balance? I can tell you only my experience and it was that the first month worked fine at 10UNI$ as verified with UOB CS and then the 2nd and 3rd month did not. No idea why as it was subscription (you know how it work if you use the service) and nothing changed, but of course neither did UOB know and the claimed this vendor, albeit being a Paypal transaction, did not qualify.

Now given the mixed bag that UOB Customer Service is I'm not surprised and argued my case as per T&Cs regarding Paypal (which are vague) and they did a "goodwill" adjustment for my 2nd and 3rd month and insisted that it will not qualify going forward. At that point, I switched the credit card for another month and since then have cancelled the service as the menu got boring after a while (yes lentil salad was good) and portion size was too varying for my taste, but I digress.

In the end, if it still works for you that is great and just shows that this is a tricky area to give definite answers. I think even UOB often does not know why some transactions posts as they do (10x or not), so time and effort to track and contest may not always be worth it to argue things out with them. YMMV

I've been eating their food for 5 months already and all is fine.

Sound a bit defensive maybe I am wrong.

Please please please don't bring those drama from HWZ to here. Appreciate.

+1 ^

Lets do it the local way - no confrontations :P

Never fear, I am here!

Waiting for my miles from UOB to transfer to Asia Miles (my DBS already transferred in 24 hours). Hopefully should be in this week so I can start planning my award redemption in business class SIN-IAD/DCA. This will be my first Oneworld redemption.

+1. For a regular on this thread, I've personally found nothing in the other blogs or sites that contribute insights beyond what already is discussed here in an intelligent, peer-minded and measured manner. May it stay that way.

AM transfers are typically 1-3 days longer than KF.

How does does it take to KF?

From UOB to KF? Haven't tried of late, but before it came in 3-4 days IIRC. It was slower than Citi (2 days), but faster than Maybank (7 days).

Good luck on those Asia Miles redemptions, I hope you'll find the availability you are looking for though I'm sure you have been monitoring it before pulling the trigger on the points transfers.

You should check the other "Time taken to transfer to KF" thread...

Yeah, have been using the BA site looking here and there. Seems there are QR and CX availability so far. JL totally full.

Maybe there will be more seats open closer to my desired dates. I should confirm my dates first. Need to apply company leave and such as well.
