UOB to downgrade UOB PRVI Miles Visa Card from Visa Infinite to Visa Signature

Guide
Written By Mark Chua

As some of you may know, the UOB PVRI Miles Visa Card is a Visa Infinite credit card even though it is not marketed as one - the card face simply shows Visa (without Platinum, Signature or Visa Infinite branding under it). It seems that from 01 April 2018 however, UOB will be making it a Visa Signature card officially. There will be no changes to the earn rates and you will continue to earn miles (in the form of UNI$s) on local and overseas spend at 1.4 and 2.4 miles per dollar respectively.

Visa Infinite comes with a number of dedicated benefits and there is generally a higher income requirement for these cards (typically at S$120,000 per annum). With that being said, it is possible to get a secured credit card version if you do not meet the income requirement but I cannot say that it is the most sensible thing to do.
