Approached by UOB people in Sooka Sentral on my way back home. Signed up for UOB One Platinum and UOB Preferred Platinum.

According to them, I just need to swipe 3 times in 60 days to enjoy 3 years free GST and annual fees.

If this is not honoured, I will cancel my cards straightaway. Not that I'm really keen but my OCBC Ti doesn't have much benefits these days, so thinking to sign up one. Preferred is because I travel quite often and it comes handy for the PPL.

Anyway, not sure will be approved or not. Let's see.

That's indeed a very good offer... do they give you RM150 upfront or RM50 x 3 years (how to argue on the 2nd and 3rd year)
*
That's why they don't give me upfront. I kinda can predict I will have a tough time arguing with UOB in my second and third year. Maybe by that time I will cancel them. sweat.gif
Now I'm worried even my first year will not be honoured. sweat.gif

First year usually still can get... cos the Salesperson should still be working (else zero commission).
What's the free gift ?

No free gift. laugh.gif

Nobody calls me since my submission about 2 weeks ago. I'm not that interested in UOB cards but if they call to confirm, I will consider else I don't bother to even check the status. laugh.gif

Applied for One card in late Nov. Got a letter mid-Dec asking for most recent payslip. Sent to them and no news of any kind until ordinary mail with card arrived in the 2nd week of February.

My God, what type of bad service they have here. doh.gif

After 3 months and I totally forgot about my application, I received my One Plat and Preferred Plat today. sweat.gif

I'm traveling on 1st May, not sure can I go to PPL KLIA? It says will need to swipe once every month in the latest 3 calendar months.

Got the answer in previous pages.

Feel like canceling my UOB cards. Useless for me.

I wonder Why they took 3 Months times baru sent You the card... shakehead.gif  
Since u already have it why not keep it for a Year, you got Nothing to lose (GST credit back after 3 swipes on both cards)... hmm.gif
*
Exactly since GST is already charged. doh.gif RM 100. cry.gif
So, just use them for one year. laugh.gif

QUOTE(stargate8 @ Apr 29 2014, 12:55 PM)
just swipe it once, and try see can or not.
my trip will be end june depart from KLIA2, month of april i had swipe 3times (payonline), so may and june will swipe once each, then will see if can get free access or not.
*
I spoke to the CS, confirmed cannot. sad.gif
My next planned trip is in September but via KLIA 2 that time, hopefully I will manage to use.
In between, I will have some trips as well. Let's see...

I have so many useless cards and really wanna terminate them soon.
These are what I have in my wallet now:
1) M2Cards
2) OCBC Ti (May is the anniversary, not sure if I should keep it?)
3) SCB Plat (Applied for the RM 650 cash back which I have used up and never used it after that, will terminate soon)
4) Citibank Corporate Credit Card (Cannot terminate, company's supplied card for business expenses)
5) UOB Preferred Plat
6) UOB One Plat

Received SMS that there are changes in Preferred Plat's TnC. Does anybody know what has been changed?

It still looks the same to me. It hasn't changed LCCT to KLIA2 from its website, I'll assume it is applicable in KLIA2. I'll be flying soon, so would like to use this facility. biggrin.gif

Also, how long does it take for them to credit back the RM 50 GST into my account since I have swiped 3 times in 60 days.

I have two cards actually, Preferred Plat and UOB One Plat, both cards I have swiped three times each.

OMG. When was this changed? doh.gif
Then no hope for me anymore. I'll be travelling next month and previously was just required swiping for the past 3 months with no amount specified. doh.gif

I really feel like cancelling all my UOB cards. mad.gif
Only when I get back my RM 50 that promised by UOB if I swiped three times within 60 days.

It's about time to cancel UOB cards, at least for Preferred Plat which serves no purpose for me. I saw my statement though a bit confusing, I think they have credited back RM 50 back to me for Preferred Plat and UOB One Plat.

At least UOB One Plat still has some purposes...

I called to terminate my Preferred Plat on Wednesday's night but until today nobody calls me to verify. How long does it take? The reason I ask is because I'll be travelling to overseas soon and though my phone will be roaming, I don't want to pick up calls to avoid expensive charges. I'll be back only a month later...

Called UOB to check why nobody called me and they said they need 1-2 weeks. doh.gif

So, I told her I won't be picking up calls during roaming and she assured me it is already cancelled.

I took the opportunity to cancel my UOB one card as well.

Finally, free from UOB's craps. biggrin.gif

Usually counter offers are done by retention department but nobody bothers to call me, then I also don't want to waste my time on them.

Just got a call to offer me UOB Preferred Platinum...
Offer : 2 years free Annual Fee, 1st year GST offset swipe 3-times.
I rejected them.
*
This was my offer as well when I signed up but this card really serves no purpose.
Hence, I cancel it. Earlier thought can utilize PPL facility but they revised it and makes it so ridiculous.
