What special offerings can I take advantage of with the UOB JCB Card?

I am contemplating getting a UOB JCB Card specifically for a trip I plan to Osaka Japan next month as I gather this card is very good for use in japan. Can someone highlight its advantages in japan for me?

    If you are planning a trip to japan the UOB JCB Card is a very okay card companion. You can expect to get 6% rebate at your favourite Japanese merchants like Isetan, Meidi-Ya, Tokyu Hands, UNIQLO, Ichiban Boshi, Ichiban Sushi, Kuriya Dining, Kuriya Japanese Market and Sushi Tei with $300 minimum spend per calendar month or 3% rebate with no minimum spend. There is then a 0.3% cash rebate for all other spend with a myriad of curated privileges from dining to retail therapy at your favourite brands in over 20 countries. The privileges even extend to a 10% discount on luggage free travel with complimentary access to airport lounges.

Earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase

If you target to spend on major event tickets and high price items with the plan to split by instalment then this card is for you. However I notice that if you have an existing OCBC saving account, it makes bill payments much more seamless. And aside from being able to split payment into monthly instalments interest free, you can earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase. Only few cards in the market that allow auto convert spending into interest free instalment and still be entitled to 0.5% or 1% cash rebate.

Spa privileges that come with card membership

I find it very pleasant and rewarding the Platinum Wellness offerings of the AMEX Express Platinum Credit Card as I get to rest and replenish after a hard week at work. I treat myself to spa privileges that come with my Card Membership with spa vouchers from Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. I do this one’s a week and enjoy up to 40% off à la carte spa services at Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. Simply relaxing and feels good to be pampered.

Looking to maximize on the number of priority pass visits and other privileges

If you are like me an HSBC Premier client and also a frequent traveller that can maximize the number of priority pass visits, limo and meet-and-assist services as well as your supplementary cardholders too, then this is the card for you. The reduced general mile earn rate is worth the trade-off for the unlimited priority pass memberships, as well as the high number of limo and meet-and-assist services that you can use.
