Current promotion if apply and spend can get 50,000 ambonus or 10,000 bonus link points. Anyone tried and can advise if we get to choose which one we want?

Is there any thread on merchants that accept UnionPay card? I can't seem to find any yet.

I don't think so. When I called to apply even the customer service promotes is as something that is useful if you go to China a lot.
At the end I skipped it and went for the World MC.

I dont see any benefit for Unionpay that VI or World MC doesnt give.

Miles conversion rate for Unionpay card is worse than VI or World MC

I applied for the WMC, already 2 weeks since confirmation call still no news (should not be a problem for approval). Now I know why.

I was looking forward to using the welcome bonus points for the miles. Looks like devalued big time before I even start!!!!

This maybe a free for life card, but now I am tempted to just cut it after a few miles and go pay for the MBB Premier.

Today I got an email asking me to provide more documentation. I wrote the following back to the CS for the application
QUOTE
The phone confirmation was August 22.
Today is September 5, I get asked for more documents.

In the meantime AmBank is devaluing the points massivly.  I am not so interested in getting this card - its no longer so competitive vs what I have already. 
This is entirely not your fault, but your Bank is giving me a very bad customer experience.


Am really tempted to just cancel the application

Hi, wanna ask Ambank have any credit card new user free gift promotion recently?
I tried to check on their website, quite confused for me in their promotion  rclxub.gif

I applied for the spend and get bonus points promotion.
But unfortunately before they approved my card, they devalued the points.

That aside, I did get a very good customer service who helped get my card done before I leave for overseas.

I didn't see T&C yet as this campaign is not so important for me, after all I'm not considered as new to bank customers.
Good to know it is included. biggrin.gif

Actually I'm more interested in the sign up bonus for unionpay
I got an sms that sign up and spend can get 25,600 bonus points, that is like 2,000 KF or AM miles

Problem is, can't find the T&C and not sure if "not new to bank" customer entitled or not.

I checked today with CS. UnionPay 25,600 apply and spend (any amount) is applicable to current customers but apply now, can only get the points around May - June next year.

Its a lot of hassle, but is still 2k KF miles.

I'm not a BL user, so not getting that card. Anyway, AmBank cards are not attractive, so I cancelled all. Last time still can keep for PPL purpose, after revision no longer attractive.

Unionpay card - apply by a phone call with CS, gets 2,000 KF/AM miles welcome bonus (takes about half a year to get)
Can try the Unionpay lounge at Pavilion and cancel within 1 year.

I know its not really attractive, but as milesfans we shouldn't leave any free points on the table
