Are there any types of special transactions that do not earn rebates for spends on the UOB YOLO Card?

If you refer to the requirements to earn the additional of 8% and 3% then you should simply spend a minimum amount of $600 in a statement month as total rebate is capped at S$60 per month. To answer your second question, there are transactions that do not earn rebate such as payment of funds to prepaid accounts, instalments payment plans, Charitable/religious organizations, government institutions and services, Balance/funds transfers, cash advances, fees, interests, finance charges, late payment charges, annual fee charges, reversals, other financial charges.

The UOB YOLO is a good card to fill the areas for dining, grab and entertainment as it were but note that 12% cash back is only for these categories, and any other categories would be best purchased with another card. If you eat out often and use grab frequently (even topping up of grab wallet), this would be a card for you. I advise that you call up UOB once you receive the card and reset your statement month to the calendar month, this way it will make it easier to hit the bonus qualifying period for the 12%.

From my personal experience, they offer pretty attractive dining and entertainment offers, but only if you visit these places. Overall I think they are decent but not the best cashback program. Easy to use for the rebate on weekend and definitely a must for dining and entertainment. It appeals more if you are a youth but I use only mostly use when I dine with friends or watch the movies together, will try to use more next time , now paying minimum payment of $100 for $3000 spent till next pay check.

At first it might sound lika a hoax but since this is Singapore where possibilities are limitless. There is a company called Circles.Life that offers a free sim only plan. Their plan includes 1GB of data, 30min talk time and 10 SMS every month for S$0. This is perfect for someone who just needs a sim card for emergency purposes or someone who needs a line so they can be reached but does not use their phone much. TPG also offers one which includes 2G of data/day but you can;t use it for calls and SMS.

Just like in any country, there aren't many investments that guarantee your principal as well as returns in Singapore but of those that do, you should be very careful of scams. One other thing to understand is that when you get to enjoy such safety in your investments and visibility in your cashflows, you need to be prepared to accept a rate of return that is close to the risk-free rate. Your first bet is to invest on Singapore Government Treasury bills and/or Singapore Government Bonds. You can also try investing on saving plans or fixed deposits but the returns are low. If you want higher returns then you really need to invest on high risk investments.
