UOB one card

[vsvs24]

I just received the card today. 4 days after the successful application.

Btw, I have a few more questions. Hope any gurus here could help. The billing cycle will be based on my approval date right? I got the approval on 10/3 so my 1st statement will be 10/3 to 9/4? And my quarterly spendings will be 10/3 to 9/6?

Can call the hotline to ask for billing cycle to coincide with calender month or your preferred date. Then ask them when is the exact start and end date of current billing month (because change of billing cycle have impact). Also ask which months make up your quarter.

it should be.. river safari / singapore zoo is not under government organisation.. more like retail. don't see why it isn't legit.

maybe can call UOB to confirm after the transaction is posted just to be sure.

anyone ordered food via grab delivery recently and paid using One card but yet the transaction did not show 'Grab' as part of the description and the bank says it's not eligible for the 5% bonus rebate?

just last month I did an order and it shows GRAB* A-2U4BTWDWWFDH SINGAPORE SG which was ok (eligible), but suddenly last week I did another order and it only shows A-35FL985WWESR Singapore SG which the bank suddenly says not eligible cos no mention of 'GRAB' in the description

been almost 2 weeks still no update from the bank.

maybe they can't be bothered to check because the quarterly rebate isn't tallied yet. have to wait till end May.

generally I think bank customer service really going down the drain these years.

in the meantime, just wondering if any of you (frequent grab delivery users) can verify if the transaction posted still shows "GRAB" in front of the transaction name? thanks for sharing

Argh.

One of my credit card installment brought down my spending tier.

Didn't know credit card installment are not counted as qualifying transaction.

It had been years since installment not eligible.
Last time when I just got my card and new BTO, I used it to buy home appliances by installment and enjoyed rebates for a few quarters.

Do take note they are quite strict with additional rebates too.
Recently I missed by less than a dollar spending for one of the month and did not got my quarterly / additional Shopee rebates.
Called in and appeal, CSO gave me $50 quarterly rebates but unable to help with my $2xx Shopee rebates.

And if you're installment stretch over your annual renewal, you might have trouble asking for wavier especially if you did not meet the minimum spending for the card.
I was offered the following options when I said that I want to terminate my card and closed my account...
to pay up early repayment fees of $150 and installment balances, take up a loan and pay the admin fees/interest, stick with the annual fees....

Do you know if must manually pay yourself or can it be auto bill?

it doesn't matter.

Does purchase via the CART mobile app qualify for additional rebate? Since technically CART is under dairy farm

I recently used grabfood on my OCBC Frank CC, the transaction shows up with GRAB* in front. Not sure if different banks might have different transaction names though?

it's not that difficult to think, thousands of ways. even 4 mentos paid seperately at NTUC self checkout counter also do.

I was advised by the CS that if my statement is < $10, there will be no repayment due date. Hence, there is no late payment charge and interest charge. Anyone has got this response before? My latest statement (with <$10 spend) doesn't show the due date indeed.
