UOB has announced that it is discontinuing its UNI$ to KrisFlyer auto-conversion program with a month’s notice.

UNI$-KrisFlyer Miles auto-conversion discontinued
Effective from 20 May 2026, the UOB points (UNI$) to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer auto-conversion programme will be discontinued.
UOB has stopped accepting new enrolment for the programme from 20 Apr 2026.

Auto-conversion vs one-time conversion
Here’s a quick look at the differences between auto-conversion and one-time conversion of UOB UNI$:
| One-time conversion | Auto- conversion | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | S$27 per transfer | S$50 per year |
| FFP Choices | KrisFlyer, Asia Miles | KrisFlyer |
| Max. Miles Validity | 2+3 years (KrisFlyer) No expiry (Asia Miles) | ~3 years |
| UNI$ Available for Conversion | Full | Amounts above UNI$15,000 (30k miles) |
| Conversion Block | UNI$5,000 (10k miles) | UNI$2,500 (5k miles) |
| When Conversion Takes Place | You Decide | End of month (paying for one-time conversion possible) |
Was auto-conversion a good feature?
As shown in the table above, cardholders who convert UNI$ to KrisFlyer miles at least twice a year can save some money through this program. But at what cost? It makes UOB’s already inflexible points even more inflexible.
If you use UOB UNI$ only for KrisFlyer conversions and don’t mind the inflexible monthly conversion cycles, shortened expiry term and parking a minimum balance of 30,000 miles forever, this program could be useful to you.
Otherwise, the program was honestly quite a joke.
What if you’ve already paid for the program?
UOB cardholders who paid for the program in the 13-month period between May 2025 and May 2026 will receive a full refund of the S$50 admin fee, which will be credited to the credit card enrolled in the program, by 31 Jul 2026.
