what will happen to Amex true cash back, then...

 

[drawar]

So ignoring any perks such as FoundersCard or dining deals, the only difference compared to the Amex True Cash Back is an additional 0.2% cash back?

And 5% for first 5k but to new UOB credit card user only

But there is no Amex app offers I assume like Amex TCB? Not sure if 0.2% extra cashback / UOB-only offers? (not a UOB customer) is worth it compared to that.

Signup bonus is $150 for first $3000 spend which seems a bit low compared to other offers for non-UOB cards on SingSaver ><

able to get 1.7% Cashback by using it to pay undergrad school loans?

Pity its amex which isn’t as widely accepted. Guess i’ll stick to One card for now.

Wondering if can use for axs m station app. And top up grabpay wallet then withdraw to cash

I never had luck with applying AMEX card. Tried once after I just graduated from Uni, a second time just a few years ago. Both time kena rejected.

Never had problem with other cards though ....

No for AXS. Yes for grab top up but no to withdrawal.

 

[wongminmin]

Use it to top up grabpay, and use your grabpay mastercard to make payments.

Why not? Use cc to topup. Withdraw to bank bia paynow? Uob shouldnt be able to control that right

You are able to withdraw your money from your GrabPay wallet to either your bank account, a PayNow registered user or another e-wallet. However due to regulatory reasons, you cannot transfer funds that you topped up using a credit card or a foreign debit card.

Be warned that it is very hard to waive UOB annual fees.

Apply Amex TCB the next year, hoot the 3% cashback welcome bonus, rotate back to UOB Absolute card, rinse and repeat.
