Deal: Get up to S$200 cash and Samsonite luggage with UOB cards

UOB cards are great for day-to-day spend, but they’re not so great when it comes to welcome offers. Even if you’re lucky enough to find an uncapped offer — and they do exist! — there’s usually no SingSaver gift to stack.

But that’s changing for the next few weeks, with a unique triple stack opportunity that yields up to S$200 cash and a Samsonite Evoa Z luggage, if you play your cards right.

This offer is only available for new-to-UOB customers, but even if you don’t meet the criteria, go find someone in your family who does, because this is easily the best welcome offer for UOB cards we’ve seen all year.

How the triple stack works

Eligibility

To be eligible for this triple stack offer, you must be a new-to-UOB customer, defined as someone who: 

• Do not currently hold a principal UOB credit card, and
• Have not cancelled a principal UOB credit card in the past six months

For the avoidance of doubt, holding a UOB corporate card, debit card or supplementary card does not, in and of itself, disqualify you.

Stack #1: S$100 cash or other gifts from SingSaver

Apply

To begin the stack, apply for a UOB Absolute Cashback Card from 9-20 December 2024 via the SingSaver links in this article. You can then choose from one of the following gifts:

• 4x Apple AirTags (worth S$149)
• Sony LinkBuds S (WF-LS900N) (worth S$199)
• S$120 Lazada vouchers
• S$120 Trip.com vouchers
• S$100 Cash via PayNow

Approval must be received by 9 January 2025, and a minimum qualifying spend of S$500 made within the first month of card approval.

The first year’s annual fee is waived.

Stack #2: Samsonite Evoa Z luggage from UOB

If you apply for a UOB Absolute Cashback Card from 1 December 2024 to 31 January 2025, you will also receive a Samsonite Evoa Z Spinner 25″ luggage from UOB. 

Approval must be received by 31 January 2025, and a minimum qualifying spend of S$2,000 per month for two consecutive months from the approval date is required. 

For example, if your card is approved on 10 December 2024, you will need to spend according to the following table.

Stack #3: Extra S$50-100 cash from SingSaver

SingSaver is running a separate promotion called 12 Days of Credit Card Christmas, which is valid for applications submitted from 9-20 December 2024.

Under this promotion, you can get an extra S$50 to S$100 cash by applying for a total of 2 or 3 cards.

• Apply for 2x cards: Extra S$50 cash
• Apply for 3x cards: Extra S$100 cash

Of the card applications:

• at least one must be from UOB, Maybank or CIMB Bank.
• at least one must be new-to-bank

The UOB Absolute Cashback Card would have fulfilled both criteria already, and while you’re free to explore CIMB or Maybank (which is offering S$50 cash per approved card, even for existing customers), let’s keep the illustration simple by assuming you apply for two more UOB cards.

These can be any of the following:

Card	Min. Income	Annual Fee
KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card Apply	S$30,000	S$196.20 (FYF)
UOB ONE Apply	S$30,000	S$196.20 (FYF)
UOB EVOL Apply	S$30,000	S$196.20 (FYF)
UOB Lady’s Card Apply	S$30,000	S$196.20 (FYF)
UOB PRVI Miles AMEX Apply	S$30,000	S$261.60 (FYF)
UOB PRVI Miles MC Apply	S$30,000	S$261.60 (FYF)
UOB PRVI Miles Visa Apply	S$30,000	S$261.60 (FYF)

There is no need to meet any minimum spend on the additional two cards, though you must fill out the same email address in the SingSaver rewards form across all three so your bundle can be tracked.

One very important note: if you want to do stack #3, wait until your UOB Absolute Cashback Card application is approved first. 

What we want to avoid is a situation where you apply for the UOB Absolute Cashback Card and 1-2 other UOB cards, and the other UOB cards get approved first.

For example, let’s say you apply for a UOB Absolute Cashback Card, UOB PRVI Miles AMEX and KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card, and the UOB PRVI Miles AMEX is approved first. In this case, you’ll only be eligible for a smaller welcome offer of S$60 cash (from SingSaver) and 46,000 bonus miles (from UOB, which requires the annual fee to be paid).

Remember, you can only enjoy new-to-UOB gifts for the first approved card.

Application Steps

1. Apply via the links in this article
2. Take note of the application reference number 
3. Complete the SingSaver Rewards Redemption Form that is sent to your email, within the first 14 days of application. Ensure that the name, mobile number and email address submitted to SingSaver are the same as that used in the credit card application

What counts as qualifying spend?

Qualifying spend refers to any online or offline retail transactions, in SGD or foreign currency. It excludes insurance premiums, education, government agencies, charitable donations and utilities.

The full list of exclusions can be found in the T&Cs (links provided below).

Terms & Conditions

• SingSaver welcome offers
• UOB Absolute Card welcome offer
• SingSaver 12 days of Christmas offer

Conclusion

If you don’t already have a UOB credit card, there’s now a triple-stack opportunity to build around the UOB Absolute Cashback Card, with up to S$200 cash and a Samsonite Evoa Z luggage.

Perhaps the bigger challenge is finding someone who still counts as new-to-UOB, because any miles chaser worth their salt would already have a UOB Lady’s Card, UOB Preferred Platinum Visa or UOB Visa Signature (or all three!).
