got meh? i just used my vox recently for an overseas spend and the rates were ok, mah. last few months i used my mbb amex and that one was really very high.
UOB VOX
03 JUN SGD 14.22 = RM36.11 2.539
05 JUN SGD 99.00 = RM252.17 2.547
13 JUL SGD 66.30 = RM171.41 2.585 *99.65%=2.576
MBB AMEX
27-Jul-13 S$39.80 RM103.22 2.593
21-Jul-13 S$98.00 RM254.41 2.596
20-Jul-13 S$4.65 RM12.08 2.598 *98%=2.546
29-Jun-13 S$26.00 RM67.38 2.591
22-Jun-13 S$133.84 RM345.74 2.583
15-Jun-13 S$53.10 RM137.28 2.585
18-May-13 S$133.83 RM331.66 2.478
cant find exact comparison but you look at the 13 Jul VOX 2.585, given the fact that it has only 0.35% rebate normally, compare with Amex 5 times points (now equivalent to 2% rebate).
27th July AMEX is the most recent transaction where as SGD has appreciated quiet substantially, the rate was only 2.593 while you look at 13th July UOB rate is already 2.585. I think the difference is already very obvious
the above comparison is only for SGD, can't really justify but SG is UOB's HQ, given the rate is so disappointing, i think no need to see elsewhere
