CardUp x OCBC: Pay bills with discounted fees starting from 1.55%

Pay bills with CardUp and OCBC credit cards with discounted admin fees of 1.55-2%, and buy miles from 0.95 cents each.

CardUp and OCBC have a long-running partnership that offers cardholders discounted admin fees for paying bills such as rent, tuition fees, income tax and insurance premiums.

The previous promotions ended on 31 March 2025, and have now been replaced by new offers featuring fees ranging from 1.55% to 2% instead of the usual 2.6% (though CardUp effectively charges 2.25% for Visa and Mastercard transactions with the year-round OFF225 code).

With these promo codes, OCBC cardholders can buy miles from 0.95 cents each, depending on the card they use.

What can you do with OCBC points?

90ยฐN Miles, VOYAGE Miles and OCBC$ can be converted to nine airline and hotel partners, with a S$25 conversion fee.

Frequent Flyer Programme Conversion Ratio
(OCBC: Partner)
90ยฐN Miles & VOYAGE Miles OCBC$
krisflyer logo 1:1 (VOYAGE)
25,000 : 10,000
1,000 : 1,000 (90ยฐN)
flyingblue logo 1,000 : 1,000 10,000 : 4,000
ihg logo 1,000 : 1,000 10,000 : 4,000
1,000 : 1,000 10,000 : 4,000
british airways logo 1,000 : 900 10,000 : 3,600
etihad guest logo 1,000 : 900 10,000 : 3,600
asia miles logo 1,000 : 750 10,000 : 2,900
1,000 : 700 10,000 : 2,800
1,000 : 500 10,000 : 2,000
All ratios expressed as OCBC points : partner miles/points

Unfortunately, not all conversions take place at the same ratio. Only Flying Blue shares parity with KrisFlyer; the other airlines all involve a haircut of 10-30%. Itโ€™s particularly poor that Asia Miles requires a 25% haircut, when every other bank in Singapore offers transfer parity between KrisFlyer and Asia Miles.

Conclusion

OCBC cardholders can continue to enjoy discounted admin fees ranging from 1.55 to 2% when paying bills with CardUp. There is no cap on redemptions, and the existing customer codes can be used as many times as you wish during the promo period.

The new customer fee is particularly attractive โ€” even lower than my own MILELION referral code (1.79%) โ€” so do consider it if you have any upcoming bill payments to make.
