Updating to share my experience. The CSO was very friendly, and actually told me that had I not used my card the month of issue, the system would have automatically calculated and awarded me the prorated rebate! LOL
Even she acknowledged that sounds quite silly.
Anyway she's put in a request for an exemption so I will get the proprated rebate, and she very zi dong offer to adjust the billing period. I don't mind that it doesn't exactly tie in to month end/beginning, but one of my recurring billings logs the transaction on the statement close date, so this way I avoid any doubt should it be delayed for any reason.
UOB did not do anything for me... Just pissed me off the first month i spent 5k thinking to "chase 4 k for 2 months" because i got the card 15th Jan ... but in the end sorry no count applies.
