RM0 UOB: Dear Customer, your card fee waiver request has been approved. The reversal will be reflected on your next statement.

But SST RM25 still have to pay…

Called UOB end Sep to cancel my card and they said they will waive the 25 SST as I've not used the card since last Jun. Card had been removed from mobile apps but in the eCCRIS record, I still see the RM25. Does this I still owe the bank 25?

Card still not cancelled, u will receive call from retention team soon

They already called but couldn't reach me due to busy with work. Received SMS that the card has been cancelled as per my request

If they couldn’t reach you they will proceed to cancel I guess

Anyone tried zenith concierge booking for the free 1 night programme?

1. Is the rate more expensive than usual?
2. Do you earn hotel elite status?

Not worth it. You get better rates and cancellation policy when book direct or from Visa hotel booking site. And be aware that some hotels are not top tier as it is marketed. Probably because of price especially for Europe. The most problematic is pay upfront on booking in most cases.

These days direct booking is the easiest and best rate guarantee being practiced by almost all the good hotels.

Hi, U guys are getting the latest evol cashback? Normally 8-9 of the month, now ard 14th, still not.

last week already in

You don't need concierge booking for the 1 night programme, you can visit https://specials.priceless.com/en-my/cardho...Id=202405290004

The issue with 1 night programme I have is a lot if T&C and fine print. Some you can book direct using their website and others you need to email them etc... So read carefully.

If you ask me....

Pro:
- sometimes you go on online travel agencies (booking, trip, agoda), they will say the rooms are sold out, but you can still get rooms.
- wide ranging hotel (could range from atas atas to meh) - https://specials.priceless.com/en-my/cardho...Id=202405290004

Con:
-blackout dates
- if you going for full board or half board, such options may not be available.
- some have cancellation policy and some don't, kinda iffy.
- on spot payment.

Conclusion: I probably use it as a comparison tool with online travel agency and what Mastercard has to offer.

On the other hand, you can sign up for hotel loyalty programmes:
1. IPrefer, need to stay at least once in their hotel before you get elite status
2. GHA Discovery - immedtae Titanium status (their atas hotel brand is Anantara)
3. Myndham (Meh...)
4. Centara1Card (chain hotels mainly in Thailand)
5. Onyx (Amari brand)

With Zenith, you can immediate reach their highest tier in their loyalty programme.

Conclusion: I like GHA but make sure book in advance, you get more discount and then compare with other online travel agencies. GHA also have side perks like you can go Sunway Resort and use their GYM and Swimming pool.

Just noticed there is an AF charged to my VI and called CS to ask for waiver, being granted with no condition. It will be reflected in two working days. So another year usage for the VI.

Did you spend anything or you did not use the card at all to be entitled to waiver?

VI PB or VI? 😛

Sorry to revisit this topic again for EVOL.
Must it be RM 700+1300? Also, 1300 must be e-wallet top up?

I did spend but definitely not enough for the minimum spending.

Just a normal VI. I'm not a PB customer in any banks. Too poor.

Hahahaha. I always see you with your air miles cards who knows VI PB.

Yes, I have most of the airmiles cards but not a PB customer.

Ewallet topup cb capped at RM15, so need at least rm300.
Total cb is rm50, so left rm35 cb earned from online txn of rm700. And min retail spent to get rm50 cb is 2k, so balance of 1k can be anything not in the exclusion list, and ewallet topup is most convenient to me.

Ah noted, thanks for that! I will do the same then.

RM300 - ewallet = RM15
RM700 - spending online = RM35

So if dun wan "real spend" for rest of RM1,000... come, reload to my shopeepay and reward me
* just kidding, normally just RM1.3k into e-wallet

I will reward myself.
But thanks, now I got it. Really feel wasted of paying RM 25 SST if I'm not using it but I want to continue holding UOB card...
