To mark Black Friday, Mileslife is offering 4X miles on all Mileslife transactions made on 24 November. That covers everything- dining, spa, hotels, recreational activities, you name it. For example, if a restaurant normally awards 3 miles per $1, it will receive 12 miles under this promotion.
Depending on what you have in mind, this could be a fantastic chance to max out the points on a few hotel bookings.
A reminder that Mileslife has changed its MCC so it now codes as a local transaction. I have yet to confirm the exact MCC but if anyone has charged a Mileslife transaction recently please chime in and let us know. In an ideal scenario, this would qualify for 10X with a card like the UOB PPV, but until such time as the MCC is confirmed I’d play it safe and go with a general spending card.
If you’ve not yet signed up for Mileslife you can do so with the code MILELION and get 1,000 miles with your first purchase of $49 or more (or simply click on any of the links here).
i’m waiting for the day redmart joins mileslife …
How about DBS women’s card for milelife transactions.
nope. read my other post on this.
Troy stop viewing this site? If not he can simply update us the new mcc code here… 🙂
I just called UOB and the new MCC for mileslife is 7278. Seems like we can use UOB PPV on it now
ha. he has told me the MCC but i need third party verification like a reliable journalistic outlet
I recently tried with PPV, but did not receive 10X
I had a transaction on 17 Nov and the MCC 7278 was provided by UOB CSO for this transaction. Not sure if I should try to with UOB PPV yet
7278 appears to be one of the accepted MCC in the PPV terms and conditions. Might have to haggle with UOB to get the bonus miles credited.
thanks for the confirmation. troy was mentioning to me that they were looking to get 7278 but i couldn’t confirm it yet because i’m overseas. you’re right that 7278 does get 10X under PPV (it’s similar to groupon in that sense).
But L just reported he didn’t get 10X with UOB PPV
date of transaction is important. I know earlier this month they hadn’t updated the MCC yet. I’m guessing his transaction was earlier in the month
I think it is possible the MCC code has changed but the transaction is regarded as offline… similar to how some hotel bookings can be done online yet be regarded as offline. That would also explain why L did not get bonus miles
will check with troy on this. can’t imagine why it’d be seen as offline though as the backend is entirely online.
For clarity, I made the transaction on 10 November 2017. Might be worth a try with PPV again now.
The UOB website says Fave by Groupon should allow for 10X UNI$, but apparently some of my transactions did not qualify. Not sure if you have encountered this before.
fave or favepay?
I just tried again on 24 November and can confirm that PPV is now earning 10x.
yay!
I also made a transaction on 27 Nov and I have received confirmation that its 10x as well.
Hi everyone! Our MCC is 7278 currently.
How can we find out what MCC code a merchant is on?
