Retention team called u after your cancellation call on the same day?

No. Same call. CS redirected my call

A fraud attempt just happened on my UOB PRIVMILES Elite. At first, I received an OTP for PayPal verification, I already suspected something amiss before I could call UOB to check further, another SMS came in telling me RM 45.03 at PayPal Google Proxima went through.

Anyway, long story short, I managed to call UOB to block the card and according to the CS, this transaction is still pending and asked me to monitor for a few days to see if it successfully went through. She mentioned the fraudster had keyed in a few incorrect expiry date but couldn't get it right.

I spent on two Europe sites yesterday for train and bus, I guess that's how my information was leaked..

I'm glad that it is all OK now, UOB will arrange for a new replacement card to be sent to me next week.

If it is a higher tier than your existing cards, then you need to submit income documents.

Call? UOB promo booth?

I got PME, want to add EVOL so I guess fits the criteria. I’m too lazy to submit docs… they have my CL and info..

Love MBB for this, so easy to add card.

I just found out that i also kena this Paypal fraud but I didn't receive any OTP.
Too bad I realised too late. 2 transactions of RM160 already went through.

Applied for annual fee waiver for my PME, now I can see the AF charge has been reversed. Didn't spend RM50k last year and likely the same for upcoming year. Gotta remind myself to cancel the card around this time next year. ;-)

Knowing tht priv miles elite having 5 points bonus on airlines, may I know is this only for direct booking from airline webpage or 3rd party website like trip.com is eligible too? I found sometime these websites given better offer

If u book on trip.com, lagi bagus.
Just change your currency to SG/VN/ID/TH, u get 12 points instead of 5 points.
Just make sure after change to different currency, u still pay the same amount (in RM after convert). 

If you purchase ticket from MAS from example, don't change to different currency because they will charge a lot more.

if u pay using foreign currency, how can u pay same amount as rm after convert? UOB will charge extra foreign fees 2%+.
Then you're paying more compare to RM. Foreign bank fees are always higher than local bank

Depend whether u want the lowest price or u want to get more points.

My point is, if u want to maximise your points for RM2,000 ticket. the conversion (into SGD) of trip.com/agoda will cost a lot less compare to MAS website*.

*In MAS website, u also can pay in foreign currency (but totally not worth it).

If MAS offer u cheaper ticket, just buy it (5x points)
If trip.com can get u cheaper ticket, u can pay the ticket in SGD to maximise your points (12x points).

Update:
I just checked my recent booking at klook and paid in SGD, macam didn't get charged extra, but i got 12x points
All my booking at my recent agoda hotels are in Thai or SG currency for maximum points. Before i paid, i checked the rate.

If you book overseas hotel such as Thailand, I think it doesn’t matter you pay in MYR or THB, the difference are just the person who benefit from the conversion is klook (pay in MYR) or CC (pay in THB), because those third parties website already factored in the currency conversion charges at their side. But if pay in THB you get extra point, why not?

But if you book Malaysia hotels or airline but purposely change currency to foreign currency, then you need to calculate whether the extra is worth the points or not. In my opinion, the 7x point difference doesn’t worth it.

ok, I just checked my hotel booking (through agoda in one KL Hotel) with UOB apps.
I paid in SGD, didn't get 'extra' charges. And i got 12x points.

All my bookings in recent days, i paid in SGD/Thai for with Trip.com, Klook and Agoda.
Also, with Agoda Mastercard link, u have extra discount = discount + more points

Previously I have test to book hotel via sgd, I do found it charge few % more compare with myr pricing. Regards Agoda uob link, I also found it is more expensive then I using normal Agoda app with provided discount voucher for same hotel
