Maybe I not fierce enough.

I told them I do not want it, but the girl kept saying swipe 3 times then waive edi and kept explaining to me the benefit of the other card.

Annual payment for uob one card is not waived anymore even after 60 swipes yearly?

I'm quite fierce though when come to CS..... I tell the operator, "what for you give me something that I don't wan to begin with? And furthermore want me spend 3 times for what? Does it make sense to u?"

when i read your first comment, you sound like person who is fierce and strict. but in reality you are not fierce enough?

yes, even though you don't activate it you still responsible to pay the gst. anyway, online bill payments or online shopping count as a swipe.

tips: you may split your bill payment to smaller amount to be counted as a few swipes. or swipe at petrol stations (at the pump) with small amount like rm1 each.

I feel you. I received two cards too
but on the side note, it's great to know that online transaction is counted as a swipe

Haha I'll try that next time, when I wanna cancel the Lady card since it's totally useless for me. I really wanted the VI though, guess that made me less fierce also.

I'm not fierce in reality Only time I was scolding over the phone to the CS was when Airasia cancelled my free ticket flight to somewhere I was really looking forward to go and did not inform me at all until I found out about it from my friend. That one really angry la, otherwise I cannot fierce.

Anyway, yesterday sunday shopping already swipe 3 times for VI, now wait for the other card so I can pay my insurance and some utility bills online.

Yup! Or some people spilt their petrol transactions into 3 times since any amount also can.

finally called to cancel this card, however the operator told me that he will first lock this card then I am to await somebody from their side to call me to verify within a week?

is this normal?

yes, normal. their retention team will call you to offer something to retain you. it's up to you to accept and remain as a customer or reject and proceed to terminate.

called customer service to request card cancellation last week, just now i try to login to see my statement, but unable to do so.
all outstanding has been cleared, but it has become my habit to login and check 2,3 days once.


as some forumer mentioned, card will be blocked from usage, but unable to view statement online?
this is the normal practice?

I think it's normal practice. I experienced it with OCBC Ti.

just applied last week at uob booth for one platinum and lady card . the agent said once approved will get the hello kitty luggage , big one but not sure how many inch , instantly deliver to my doorstep. Anyone got this before ?

A lot of advertisement sms nowadays lol

After doing some calculation and research i found that i dont need uob one and vox at all. But after swipe both card 3x there is no GST waiver in the statement. Have anyone confirm this? Because last time the cs told me and there is stated in the document that they sent to me got waive GST if swipe 3x within 60 days.

GST will Credit Back on Your 3rd Statement as Usual...

Called CS just now and confirmed that GST has been charged on November 18th, 2014. Asked for waiver but failed and therefore, proceed for card cancellation.

Also noticed that I was an overpayment and SmartCash that I have no chance to redeem.

Received 5% rebate spent at Watson even I swiped at the 24th Oct, this makes the effective cash back of 7% spent at Watson.
