May or may not, need someone to test it out.
So you can only enjoy 1 promotion. Not both. But if you charge to UOB PRVI Miles AMEX, you can earn 6x UNI$ and no currency conversion fee because it is treated as a foreign currency transaction even though it's in S$. |

That is 0.00416 per mile :eek: |

On a side note, isn't there another card out there that is equally good for paywave? And what's the whole EZRELOAD thing all about and where is the bonus in that? Do they give extra points (what about the fee?), and how do we actually divert any meaningful spend onto EZ-link? Cold Storage? |
Is DBS WWMC still the one to use for LTA road tax payments? The revamped One Motoring website seems to accept credit cards directly?

Haha!! Thanks for posting on your points credit. I checked mine based on your post, and saw mine have posted as well (Yay!)..:D One more thing - I called up the customer care to 'confoam' and double 'confoam' that there is no limit to the new expedia promo doesnt have any limit.. |
1. Some banks count the spend as online: The UOB PPV currently gives 4 miles / S$ and OCBC cards also count as online spend. However, DBS does not count it as online (Update 7 Jan 2017: DBS WWMC is now giving 4 mils / S$). Hope the banks don't change this as others have mentioned... 2. They're launching a "first payment for free" promo for new users next week for the first 300 redemptions, capped at a charge of $5k SGD. Should start on Monday. 3. They'll have regular promotions with lower fees. There should be one for income tax in 2017. 4. They have more local than expat customers at the moment. The locals usually use it for condo maintenance fees to MSCTs and insurance premiums to all major insurance companies. 5. Regarding the scenario of them going out of business, all funds are held in trust for customers in a completely separate trust account to the company's operating account, so payments are essentially passed straight through. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it out myself yet as I don't incur any of the above fees. Though if the UOB PPV still counts as online come tax season I'll give it a shot! |
How long does it take on average for an expedia.com.sg purchase made by the UOB PRVI card to post to the account?

I have three questions on the UOB PRVIMiles VISA:
1. How can I transparently check which transaction from the credit card gets translated into the UNI$? Manually checking running credit card statements against UOB Rewards page is not good enough for me. I contacted UOB Customer Service via e-mail and no reply yet. I travel a lot these days, so going to a branch is kind of the last stop... 2. Also, I have been booking all of my business travels through Expedia lately, due to the 6x promo. As per the T&C it is only valid until 31 Dec 2016. Does any know whether this will continue? Will they reliably change their T&C/website in time with the new year? 3. In the latest posts, I see a lot of people turning away from their UOB PRVIMiles cards. Why is that? I honestly find it difficult to boil down which merchants and their categorization are eligible for spend and bonus spend (see point 1) and this obviously is one of the deciding factors for most of you to compare between the cards of different banks. Is anyone here aware of the latest product offerings and can simplify the view on things as to which cards are best for what kind of spend with the maximized amount of miles, e.g. UOB PRVI for paywave, ezreload, etc... |

Apart from paywave on UOB Preferred visa, I have turned away from PRVI and went to Citibank. The 1.4 mile per $ is good but don't forget it's rounded to 5$. But the main reason is that I cannot stand a) their hopeless customer service and b) it happens that points are not credited. They don't really know why and it takes weeks to get it sorted out through various calls, making the whole experience tedious. |

But then came alone other "opportunities" like topping up prepaid cards for 4 miles/$ or the UOB PPV for Paywave so I quickly forgot about Citi altogether. I still think that paying 1% to top-up the Fevo/M1 card using the DBS WWMC is the best way to go for the first $2k of non-paywave spend each month. :) On a side note, does anyone have HSBC Advance? Doesn't their card offer unlimited 4 miles/$ for online spend? |
