Extended: KrisFlyer UOB credit card 10,000 miles sign-up bonus

UOB has again extended its sign-up bonus for the KrisFlyer UOB credit card, previously ending on 31st October 2020 but now extended until 31st December 2020. With this offer you’ll earn a guaranteed 3,000 miles bonus on your first spend with the card, then an extra 7,000 miles if you’re among the first new-to-UOB cardholders to meet a S$1,500 spend within 30 days.

That second element is one of UOB’s typical ‘gambling’ offers, however if you do manage to secure both elements of the deal it’s good for 10,000 miles total bonus miles for a relatively low spend level.

The number of eligible applicants for the bonus was also ‘refreshed’ yesterday, giving you the best opportunity for success if you act quickly.

Another fresh batch of eligible applicants will also be added on 1st December 2020.

Here’s how the deal is structured.

Sign-up bonus (for all)

Whether you’re an existing UOB credit card holder or not, you’ll get a 3,000 miles welcome bonus provided you spend at least $5.00 on the card within 30 calendar days of your account opening date (yes, just $5).

These miles will be credited directly into your Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer account the month following your transaction, as this card is directly linked to your KrisFlyer membership.

Unlike many UOB promotions, this element is not capped. Everyone is eligible, so if you play by the (fairly simple) rules, the bonus miles will be credited.

Do note however that if you have previously held the KrisFlyer UOB credit card and cancelled it, you won’t be eligible for this welcome bonus.

Additional sign-up bonus (for new members)

In addition to the sign-up bonus for all customers applying for this card outlined above, if you’re a new UOB credit card customer (or cancelled your last UOB credit card at least six months ago) you are eligible for an additional 7,000 miles when you spend a minimum of $1,500 within the first 30 days of the card account opening date.

As is typical with UOB promotions, to be eligible for this additional welcome bonus you must be among the first 200 new-to-UOB cardmembers who successfully apply online from 1st November to 30th November 2020 and meet the spend criteria.

A second batch of 200 new-to-UOB cardmembers will be eligible from 1st December to 31st December 2020 on the same basis.

If you’re familiar with our advice on these UOB ‘promotions’ – don’t count on this part is the only way to put it! You may or may not qualify for this 7,000-miles conditional element, however a ‘fresh’ new allowance of 200 applicants became eligible yesterday morning, so if you act fast you’re in with a decent chance.

Alternatively, hold off until 1st December 2020 when 200 more slots become eligible.

If you do qualify, these 7,000 KrisFlyer miles will be credited directly into your KrisFlyer account by 31st March 2021, provided your card account remains in good standing and has not been cancelled.
