In the 1st month after Youtrip launched, Youtrip can be used to pay credit card bill. I remebered that time, fevo can, too. So can GrabPay Mastercard til earlier last month.

Think now all prepaid mastercards are blocked from paying credit card bills with AXS.

hm i didnt know cc bill is allowed with prepaid MC last time, i am able to use youtrip, GPMC and fevo to pay all bills except cc bill. i joined fevo quite early 2y back but cant get cc payment through.


Youtrip i joined late in april this year so cant comment, i enrolled for GPMC last month when its open to all users and tested cc bill on day 1, cant work too.

Read some GPMC trial user get enough points to redeem S10, not sure whats the glitch here probably fixed already

Still up to like $30k a year limit, unless one can get higher limit from own credit history somehow (I have yet to hit the limit, so no idea). So 10 points per $1 spent, is 300k grab rewards points, enough for the S10 (I can't see that in my rewards now)?

So far only max out the UOB One card at $2k a month, so will probably only hit $24k a year this way. Maybe looking at YOLO for another $750 a month, then may hit the $30k a year limit. If not then just use my PRVI Amex to top up if I need extra over the $2k per month, and hopefully it gets the 1.4mpd plus count towards the $50k spend a year for the extra 20k miles.

By the way, the $30k a year limit is by calendar year or statement year?

Edited: how many UOB cards can one have? If I get the YOLO, then is my 6th UOB card.

I new user so still trying to understand how gpmc works, i think the 30k may be calendar year. Maybe some gpmc pilot users started last yearand got $60k limit for 2y.

Samsung s10 is 490k points. Besides uob one, there are a few cards which give 6-8%. Just read cc thread and roughly will know.

Rate today for GBP was 1SGD = 0.58275 GBP
I don't use YT.
Google search comes up 1SGD = 0.59 GBP, so still quite close.
UOB VS a day before was like 1SGD = 0.566 GBP.

Have to see ba, I think other than savings on the payment itself, there is not much rewards from YT (ie no benefit from top up, no benefit from spending)? So seems Grab card still offers more "rewards" for a relatively better rate.

So consider GBP1000 expense:
YT if give like google rates, is S$1694.92
Grab card will be like S$1716.00
If use get 8 to 10% rebate on Grab topup, already better than YT pricing, plus grab reward points. If you UOB PRVI card, then 2400 miles for the additional $21.08, not a bad choice, plus grab rewards points. If consider grab rewards converted to miles (not a very good use of grab rewards points IMO), then that is another 1920 miles.

If use UOB VS, is S$1766.78 and get 7060 miles. Not a very good choice, unless grab annual limit already exhausted.

Anyone managed to sign up recently? I don't see it on the payment or subscription page. Already verified and already have payment PIN.

Calendar year . It is clearly stated in there . The problem is more on how much limit is left rather - if you want to hit $30K / year .
The limit cap is strictly imposed on the $5K (non verified) . I assume same treatment for the 30 K cap

I had to tally up my transactions one by one, not sure if transfer to another grab account counted or not (since I get 0 points for them), but just tally up in case.

30k sgd will yield a maximum of 300k grab pay points. Depends on what you use them for, according to CSO, is inclusive of all grab transactions like grab, grab food etc. IIRC, only grab pay and grab mastercard gives the max points of 10 points per $1 spent.

Edited: Capitar Voucher, see how you spend them lor and if you frequent Capital malls. 5000 capital star$ = $5 voucher, which is quite similar redemption rates for the other $5 rewards.

Just realized via the PC website, you can login and download a CSV of your transactions.
