Back in July UOB offered a rare sign-up bonus for its PRVI Miles credit cards that didn’t have the usual upper applicant cap string attached, instead offering everyone who wanted to apply 12,000 miles for spending S$1,500 in the first 30 days – no questions asked.
Well this month the bank is back with a new offer, and is adopting more of a halfway position, with everyone getting a 20,000 miles bonus (for annual fee payment) and then the first 400 applicants to net S$4,000 of spend in 60 days getting a further 15,000 miles bonus, for a total of 35,000 miles.
You don’t need to participate in both elements of the promotion if you don’t want to, so this is a nice way to net 20,000 miles right off the bat for S$257 (1.28 cents each).
Here’s how the deal is structured.
Annual fee bonus (for all)
Provided you’re a new UOB credit card holder, apply and be approved between 1st October 2022 and 21st November 2022 and you’ll get a 20,000 miles bonus, provided you simply:
- make payment for the card’s annual fee of S$256.80, and
- send an SMS to 77862 using your mobile number which is (or will be) registered with UOB, in the following format:
PMAF [space] Last 4 alphanumeric digits of your NRIC or Passport Number Example: If your NRIC is S1234567A, you will need to send “PMAF 567A” to 77862 |
All cardholders are eligible for this promotion, with no upper participant cap.
The UOB PRVI Miles cards come with first year annual fee waiver, so here you’re being asked to instead pay the first year fee, in return for these bonus miles.
You must register via SMS as outlined above by 10th December 2022. This is to indicate to UOB that you will voluntarily pay the first year annual fee (given that it is usually waived), in order to receive these 20,000 bonus miles.
