20 Miles per S$5 with Apple Pay - Get S$10 Rebate with UOB
In case you have not already heard, Apple Pay now supports credit cards from five major banks in Singapore - UOB, OCBC, POSB, DBS and Standard Chartered (SC). Apple Pay was first made available for American Express cardholders only in Singapore and now it is rolling out to everyone else. While I do love American Express for their service and (some) offers, it is simply not the best way to rake up miles unless you were shopping with one of the EXTRA Partners.

If you have been following my website for a while now, you should know that UOB is one of my preferred banks with credit cards that are suitable for raking up miles. In fact, I believe that the Preferred Platinum Visa Credit Card will continue to give you 10X UNI$ per S$5 (equivalent to 20 miles per S$5) spent via PayWave - this should be extended to Apple Pay transactions as well but I will be testing this ASAP.
Also, if you are one of the first 10,000 people today to utilise Apple Pay with your UOB card, you will get S$10 cash rebate back into your account statement - pretty sweet!
If you have held the Citibank PremierMiles Visa Credit Card for the last 6 months of longer, chances are that you would have received a targeted offer to earn (well, purchase) 31,200 miles for S$238 once S$9,000 (in local or equivalent foreign currency) has been charged to the card between 01 July 2017 and 31 August 2017. Registration is absolutely essential for this promotion.
