12% rebate promotion for 3 months activated after a minimum spend of $600

This is an okay card to fill the areas for dining, grab and entertainment as it offers more than the other cards I have used before but don’t wish to mention here. 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 plus topping up of grab wallet, this would be a card for you. They have a recent 12% rebate promotion for 3 months, but activated after a minimum spend of $600. Easy to use for the rebate on weekend. Definitely a must for dining and entertainment. Young people favourite. Will definitely recommend to friends.

UOB PRVI Miles Card earns you 1.4 miles local and 2.4 overseas

It really depends on what you are looking for but if it is for earning rates, then it is best you go with the UOB PRVI Miles Card but do note that your spending has to be minimum 5 dollars to accrue any miles . UOB PRVI Miles Card earns you 1.4 miles local and 2.4 overseas which is one of the better rates. In addition, this card does not contribute to UOB ONE account card spending. So you need to accumulate the minimum $500 spent monthly on other cards other than this.

I was able to use the card overseas without enabling the magnetic stripe of the card

It was a seamless process for me on my last overseas traveling with my UOB VISA Signature Card as I was able to use the card overseas without enabling the magnetic stripe of the card. I was able to make purchases at overseas merchants’ outlets by inserting my card into the merchant terminal (i.e. not swiped). But if the overseas merchant uses a terminal where the Card is required to be swiped in order to process the transactions, you will need to enable the magnetic stripe of you card before the transaction can be processed.

A maximum of 5% cash rebate on everything

I actually signed-up because of the attractive 3.88% interest with the UOB One Account. It made sense to use it as my daily card especially as it comes in a really fancy chrome coloured card. The UOB One Card is hands down UOB’s favourite entry level credit card especially for those with a UOB One account too. The credit card owes its fame to its key proposition- a maximum of 5% cash rebate on everything, no need to fumble about with different spending categories.

My girlfriends top pick for shopping groceries and the likes.

The UOB Delight Credit Card is the card to go with if the bulk of the spending’s are done at DFG Group, such as Guardian, Giant, Cold Storage. Long and short this card is like a one-stop shop card at the DFG Group of companies. That is the only major advantage I have from keeping this card as it comes in handy for me and my girlfriend when we are shopping groceries and the likes.

What do you think of the UOB YOLO for a student based on your personal experience?

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%.

What is your honest opinion on the UOB YOLO?

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.
