Kris+ Promo: Up To 10,688 Bonus Miles On CNY Dining, Shopping

Suitesmile rating:

✍️ Short summary
This card, which is also available to men, gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on online spending, up to S$1,000 per calendar month, with no minimum spending requirement. This covers a wide range of spending categories like online shopping, flights, hotels, food delivery and ride-hailing.

The biggest drawback of this card is its short points expiry term of just 1 year. Cardholders should set yearly reminders to transfer out the points before they expire.

✍️ Short summary
This card gives you an uncapped 3 mpd earn rate on Singapore Airlines, Scoot, KrisShop, Kris+ and Pelago.

Cardholders can also receive an uncapped 2.4 mpd earn rate (1.2 base + 1.2 bonus) on everyday spending categories like dining, online shopping, online food delivery, ride-hailing and public transport, as well as travel spending made on selected websites like airbnb.com, booking.com and expedia.com. To receive the 1.2 mpd bonus, cardholders have to spend at least S$1,000 on Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Pelago or KrisShop collectively in a card membership year.

All other transactions earn 1.2 mpd, including foreign currency spending which comes with 3.25% in fees (very poor!).

On top of that, cardholders can also get priority check-in and boarding, free standard seat selection and one-time booking flexibility waiver on Scoot bookings made through flyscoot.com/KrisFlyerUOB.

While this card makes all the right headlines, cardholders should know that bonus miles (1.2 mpd) are only credited within 2 months, after the end of the card membership year. This can be a dealbreaker for many who do not want to wait up to 14 months to receive the bonus miles! The delayed miles crediting can also force you into paying the annual fee (instead of cancelling the card), if a waiver is not granted.

Another obvious point to note is that the miles earned on this card can only be transferred to KrisFlyer, albeit with no transfer fee.

Flexibility is very important in the Miles Game and unfortunately, this card offers very little of that. I recommend maximizing the limits of other 4 mpd cards first, before using this one.

📜 Terms & conditions

Suitesmile rating:

This card gives you a strong 5% cashback on selected spending categories like flights, hotels, dining, shopping (in-person & online), food deliveries, entertainment and foreign currencies (overseas & online), when spending at least S$500 and up to S$1,600 per calendar month.

But oldies beware, this card is only available to those aged 21 to 39 years old.

Qualifying transactions:
Only whitelisted Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) for each spending category qualify for the bonus earn rate. Unsure about the MCC? Check before making the payment.

However, if you’re spending in a foreign currency, it doesn’t matter what the MCC is, provided it doesn’t fall under the general exclusions stated in the t&c. What’s great is that typically-excluded spending categories like Medical and Education qualify for 5% cashback, when paying in a foreign currency.

All other transactions earn just 0.2% cashback (uncapped).

Cardholders can reduce the foreign currency fee by about 1% by pairing this card to Amaze. IMPORTANT: Only do this for the non-foreign currency bonus categories (flights, hotels, dining etc.) made in foreign currency (not SGD).

If you’re into the Miles, check out the highly-rated Maybank XL Rewards Card.

✍️ Short summary
This card gives you a strong earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on the following spending categories:

1. Mobile Contactless (e.g. groceries, public transport, dining, shopping, hotels, overseas)
2. Online (e.g. online shopping, food delivery, ticketing)

No minimum spend is required to earn 4 mpd on both categories, but this bonus earn rate is capped at S$600 worth of spending per category, per calendar month (max. total of S$1,200).

The Mobile Contactless category covers a wide range of spending categories, while the Online Spending category is MCC-sensitive.

Take note that cardholders will only earn 0.4 mpd on other categories and spending above the monthly bonus cap.

Before converting UOB UNI$ to miles for the first time, you’d need to enrol in the UOB Rewards Frequent Flyer Conversion programme. It’s best to do this early to avoid delays on your future miles conversions.

“Mobile Contactless” refers to Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Fitbit Pay. Cardholders will not earn 4 mpd by using the physical card.
