UOB Preferred Platinum Visa Card

[kokchoong]

Just to ask 10x UNI means u have to spend around 2-3k to get a 10 dollar voucher right? That's not even 1% rebate

Why is this card so popular

10x UNI means 10 points for every $5.
It works out to be closer to 3% if you choose Cold Storage vouchers.

For people who are aiming for miles, the return is much higher that that.

Does anybody know answers for the following questions:

- Do taxis accept paywave?
- Does using paywave generate same surcharges as credit card swipe does?

Commuters - Type of Services - Modes of Payment
do take note of the high admin charges

A 10% administrative charge on top of total taxi fare is applicable for credit and charge card payments. The prevailing GST is chargeable on top of the 10% administrative charge.

That's what I thought. OK, going for EZlink.

BTW, I had several times a situation that when I want to pay via EZlink taxi driver says that machine is 'broken' and I have to pay via cash.

Do I need to check with them every time if the machine 'works' before getting in?

They're probably preferred cash, but I guess they can't say that or customers might complain.

Better check before going into the taxi. No problems for me so far except on 1 occasion.

I asked a driver before, and most do prefer cash as it's money in their pocket. Payment through credit card/EZ Link will be settled at the end of the month with the taxi company.

Common excuse is that the machine is broken. Usually I will ask if the driver is ok to accept EZ Link before I board the taxi, esp if I am somewhere where taxis are abundant (eg taxi queue at the airport).

Just want to check with folks who use UOB cards for the SMART$ rebate.

Is the rebate amount printed on your credit card slip? Wondering cos I used this card at Cathay over the weekend and there was no text indicating that I was awarded any SMART$.

I asked the Cathay staff they told only by swiping th card than can see the smart rebate if pay via pay wave can't see. Actually do we get smart $ if paying via pay wave?

Ntuc income can be paid at AXS using DBS/POSB(gain points/rebate) and Diners Club cc. NTUC income online accept nets only.

Hmm 10x uni better than getting 1 for 1 movie tics?

Hmm 10x uni better than getting 1 for 1 movie tics?

No way. 1 for 1 is essentially 50% discount. Need maybe 100X UNI$ to be better...

 

[pokeflute]

has anyone tried to pay ST and/or SH bills directly from Hub iD and myBill and got 10x points?

a previous post mentioned that vbox is excluded due to GOV classification.
just wonder if paying directly on ST/SH, will it be considered utilities??

Someone said earlier in the thread that he paid Singtel via vbox and got 10x $UNI.

I have tried for Singtel and Starhub via vbox 2 months back, NOT entitled to 10x UNI.
