Received a call from a UOB banker saying that I can save $500 every month, don’t have to spend $500 using the credit card and still earn the 3.88% interest rate. Got such good deal?

I got a call too. Is it a Chinese speaking lady? I am pretty annoyed with her tone so I dismiss her straight.

Buy endownment plans from insurance coy, that's what they are trying to sell to you. It's nothing new.

I received a call from someone identifying herself as calling from UOB. Told me that they wanted to send me a YOLO card and asked for verification by giving my birth date.

Anyone received such call before?

In the first place, I never apply for the card. Secondly, is it appropriate to ask me for verification when I am not the one who call?

My view is if you dont need the card, just ignore the caller.

I had the same experience with HSBC a year ago. I know it was a HSBC guy because I had spoken to him a couple days before, but yet asking so many confidential questions to verify when he called me on my mobile number pissed me, and I told him off. Things went south from there, and I no longer have a HSBC banking relationship, for better or for worse.

should only ask for verification if you are interested and wanted to apply through the caller.

It is telemarketer trying to push a card to you. The worst thing I ever faced is they tried to lie that a card I am holding is phasing out and want me to try the YOLO card.

I tried to lodge a complaint but the manager of the department defended that it is the bank's decision to do so. She was totally rude and not apologetic about the phone call the telemarketer made to me.

Till now, the card to be phased off has already enjoyed a 2nd annual fee waiver even though I tried to cancel it recently.

Just kanna this

UOB one account need 500 per calender month as minimum spend on uob one card.

Although you might get your uob one card rebate (those are per statement date)

For the whole of September, I just happened to spend like 300 bucks so I just discovered this the bad way....

Damn troublesome. Need to keep track of Monthly spend as per statement , now need to even tabulate whether each calendar month spend 500 at least or not on the card....

Depends on when statement is run. You might receive the card after statement runs which means u missed first month. That’s what happen to me
